Does anyone know a good emulator for knitting machines? I'd love to play with these programs, but I'd like to get some practice before I start messing with real wool.

Someone else mentioned the acrylic, I'm going to mention Scarlett Sparks' Open Source Knitting Machine if part of the fear is actually investing in the machine https://github.com/ScarlettSparks/KnittingMachine

Possibly off-topic, but if you're looking to reduce your costs you should look at acrylic yarn. There's also cotton yarn if you're looking for something less scratchy :)
