LK 150 Machine Knitting Flecks

An alternate Fair Isle method for the LK 150, KX 350 or LK 100 knitting machines. This method works well when you need an odd number of rows of the contrast color or want more than two colors in the same row.

Some other helpful items for machine knitters:
LK 150 Knitting Machine.

Claw weights.
Your machine comes with two claw weights but it is very helpful to have more.
amzn.to/3E5Mqnl
Double eyed transfer tool.
These are great for seaming or transferring stitches.

Mini Metal Spring Clamps.
I like these clamps for weighting down yarn tails. They are a nice size and weight and they have rubber tips which makes it easy to grab yarn quickly.

Yarn winder.
Yarns, unless they are sold as cakes or cones, will have to be re-wound into a cake, otherwise it is impossible to get an even flow of yarn to the yarn feeder. This basic one is inexpensive and will handle a 100 gram skein of yarn.

Crayola washable markers.
These markers are one of my favorite tools to use with my mid-gauge plastic machines, especially for hand-selecting patterns. Because they are easily wiped off with a damp paper towel, they are wonderful for marking your machine bed. I sometimes even write knitting notes on my carriage with them. Although other generic brand washable markers will work in a pinch, the Crayolas are the best.

Books.
There are many great books on machine knitting that can be found on the used book market, but there are still a few in print. Some of them are better than others, but here are some very good ones that are very helpful for owners of mid-gauge hobby machines such as the LK 150 or the KX 350.

It is wonderful that a young lady is teaching techniques. She also is a terrific mechanic on KMs.

Such a great video. This just makes so much more sense to me now.

[@AnnaHaferman]

I'm happy to hear that! Let me know if you have any questions.

[@dianarlindo]

Anna you are always an inspiration to me. Thank you for your teaching. Yah bless.

[@AnnaHaferman]

Thank you so much!

[@conselfquence389]

Thank you so much for adding the verbal note about using the LK100! I have that machine and have trouble finding info about how to do designs on it because if it's simplistic carriage.I am just starting to learn and your videos are very helpful even if I can't always figure out how to translate it to a LK100 I still enjoy learning from you.

[@AnnaHaferman]

Thanks! I don't have an LK 100, but someone was asking how to do Fair Isle on it. I read the manual and it looks like it doesn't have Russel levers which are the levers that you use to put the machine into hold. It seems that the LK 100 carriage will hold needles that are brought to position D. So if a pattern says something like "set your carriage to hold," "put Russel levers to position one," you won't have to do that step on your machine. Just bring the needles to hold (position D) and it will accomplish the same thing. On the other hand, if a pattern tells you to bring the needles all the way to position D in order to get stitches to knit off easier, this will not work as the machine will hold (not knit) those needles.

Thanks for watching!

[@marianosullivan8281]

Thank you very much for this video. I have LK150 with robber nut not punchcard. Can punchcard attachment be added to LK15

[@AnnaHaferman]

Are you sure it's an LK 150? Is the bed metal or plastic? There was no punchcard or ribber made for the LK150.

[@EsteeDarla]

Have you hear dof the White Tiger flat bed knitting machine? If so have you been able to use?

[@AnnaHaferman]

Is that the one that's made in India? It looks like they are being made new. I have not used one.

[@EsteeDarla]

@@AnnaHaferman I'm not sure I've seen a listing on amazon and ebay but can't find much about it other then the listing so I was trying to see if it be worth buying cause I want to make sure when I buy something it is. I'll pass on it cause if know one really heard of it it might be better to leave alone lol
