how much does a knitting machine cost?

They cost about as much as a typical industrial CNC machine tool, so close to $250k installed.

You can also get hobby machines as well, starting from a a couple of thousand dollars.

This is true, but you'll tend to get used machines (even at that price). I own a Passap 6000 as well as a single-bed machine; they're fun toys to have, definitely on the unusual side of the nerdy scale.
