My gap from last week: a folding knitting machine table that I can make myself - small and lightweight but sturdy.
This is a rather specific gap definition, so I've changed it slightly for the purpose of this exercise, and it now simply says "make a folding knitting machine table".

In what way might I...
...find clothes that fit
...make my own clothes
...knit more
...make room to knit
*...design an affordable, easily accessible stand for a knitting machine
...make a folding knitting machine table
...use available tools and materials to build a table

Refined gap statement: An affordable, easily accessible stand for a knitting machine.

I couldn't get five separate interviews organized in just a week, so I've conducted a group interview with three other machine knitters, and I've also asked on the Norwegian machine knitters' group on Facebook for advice. I got lots of comments and specific needs, many of which I had not thought about before. I also received quite a few tips as to what was important needs.
