I love your videos! I'm a handknitter thinking about buying a knitting machine but I'm not sure where to purchase patterns. Do you mind me asking where you purchase them? I'm based in Ireland so I might not have access to the same stores. Is there anywhere online?

@@geraldinedempsey1479 Thank you, glad you like them. As I’m a large plus size, these days I mostly write my own. There is a monthly magazine, Machine Knitting Monthly that is a good source of patterns, supplier info, etc. She does international subscriptions and you can buy copies online. There are also reams of old pattern books and magazines available as free downloads from machineknittingetc.com - the same place for the copies of instruction books. And the Facebook sales groups often have people selling on books etc.

I have often wondered whether it might be possible to lay a thin rubber thread into the knitting the way you placed the ravel cord. Knit over it, take the spool over to the other side and knit over it again to get an elasticated ribbing that is strong enough for a skirt or a tam. I always had horror visions of having to pick out pieces of rubber filament out of the patterning drums 😅 but after seeing this video, I think it might work out. I also have the Silver Reed SK 280/SRP 60 N and have learned so much from your videos. ❤️👍

Sally just want to thank you for your videos, I’ve only had my machine like 4 years and I learned at that time from your videos on how to use my machine and I made a couple sweaters not perfect but I was learning so to me they are good. But past couple years my machine has sat, life got busy and we did some traveling so it’s been sitting. I came across these videos 1-9 and they were a refresher for me of things I’ve forgotten, I though I only begun to learn when I stopped knitting. But I want to get back to my machine and was so happy to see these videos and you do such a great job teaching. I know I will be watching the videos again as I get back to my machine. But thank you so much for your videos and your knit alongs on the Facebook group.

Thank you for doing this series. I have a plastic bed machine currently and dreaming of a metal bed machine. This helps greatly in giving me information so when the time comes I can mack the best choice for a new machine. On your clamps, I have seen others place a screwdriver through the eye of the screw to give more handle-like grip when tightening or loosening.

Here’s my probably very obvious question.. once done with the bottom ribbing can you re attach to the ribber to work on neck section? I can’t seem to figure this out!
@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts Ай бұрын
@@millysmoonnursery2011 yes, you can. When I shape the top of my sweaters for the neck opening, I put all the stitches into hold. Join one should seam. Then pick up the neck stitches onto the main bed, knit 1 row then transfer to rib arrangement. Knit the ribbing double depth, followed by three rows of stocking stitch and remove on plenty of waste knitting, at least 10 rows. Join the other shoulder and the neck seam. Turn the neck to the OUTSIDE, then backstitch it into place through the open loops. Remove the waste. This produces a beautiful neat and stretchy neck. It is demonstrated in the projects on the Facebook group Machine Knitting Beginners and Returners Circle.

Hello Sally, I have had my LK150 for about 3 weeks now and I am following your videos as I go. In this one I am happy to see that all the things that go wrong with me, you have the same problems. 😊. I am knitting finger-less gloves for the needy kids. I would like to knit a 2x1 rib but I don't want holes. The rib can only be single not turned up as that would make it too thick and probably too tight. After doing a simple e-cast on I knit 10 rows. At that point I am concerned that I will get a row of holes which I don't want. Any way to overcome that situation please? Aside, when I saw Kalamunda I assumed you were in Perth Western Australia, as we lived near there. Kind regards, JennyB.
@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts Ай бұрын
Hi Jenny - to avoid the holes, you have to pick up a heel stitch from the adjacent needle and put on the empty one - same way as you do an increase. The name Kalamunda is because my dad visited the area during the war, his vessel was in for repairs, and the crew were billeted out to families in the area. He stayed in Kalamunda. Unfortunately, we don't know with whom he stayed, but he always said how much he enjoyed it there.

@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts Ай бұрын
@@TheJadesola87 the pattern selector PS150 doesn’t convert your machine to pattern automatically. There should be a 12 pin needle selector with it. You push the needle selector into the card reader to select the right pushers. Then you use the pushers to manually put the required needles out to D position. You must also select the correct levers so that the carriage slips or holds stitches. Coloured patterns are created by knitting two rows alternately in different colours.

@@adafreda4703 Hi Ada, a green one for the 600 is perfect. For the LK100 you need a blue one because it’s a chunky machine. If you cannot get a blue one, knit the swatch according to the BLUE instructions, then measure with the green one and HALVE the results.

Hi Sally, that’s an excellent video. I managed to pick up one of these yesterday. It has a couple of missing parts. The first one yours looks missing as well and it’s to do with the beater bar There’s a bit missing across the top of it. Well, I downloaded a knitking manual as it was free rather than buying the weave master manual. The main piece that’s missing seems to be where the actual weave master attaches to the knitting machine. To the side of it there are letters ABCD and E and a slot well, I think the missing part goes. Would it be possible? You could send me over a picture of how you connect yours? The machine is so old and rare I very much doubt I’m ever gonna be able to purchase this part but I’m wondering look if I could look at it I could make a workaround, any help? I would be really grateful thanks rachel.

If the Russell levers on the front of your carriage are at II, they will knit back. If the levers are at I, they won’t knit. Is there a knitting club near where you live?
