[@daughteroftheking1671]

After watching this video , I was able to find one listed on EBay. I won the auction. Shipping was high bcs I’m in US and the machine was in UK. Just received it. I’m here watching you again so I can learn !thank you soooo much !

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

OMG you made my day. It's hard to post these videos, the editing part is tricky and I work two jobs. I do it because I love knitting sooo much. There's nothing better than finding a young girl like you who is so excited about learning this beautiful art. Thank you! 😄

[@daughteroftheking1671]

Hello Helen , “ young girl “ made “my day” lol, I’m a mother of 7 and grandmother of 10 ! I love knitting to but my fingers gets a little stiff with the needles so I was looking for an alternative when I fount your video. So happy! I was so blessed to find the machine but even more to see this video. There is no way I could figure out the setting without it, grin, so thank you sooo much !smiles!Patricia

@@daughteroftheking1671 Wow you look great. Share your secret and Knit On! 👍

[@daughteroftheking1671]

Ok just got to work it out. I’m using a thin sports weight cotton so I need to be careful with the needles to make sure is closed before I pull through it but other than that , man I’m in love with this machine. What a treasure! Thanks to you that showed me !

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

I am happy to help. However, I am sad because they don't make these machines anymore. 😔

[@relaxingclips7697]

I would buy one of these. I can't find them anywhere. They look lovely

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

They are absolutely lovely. But at the end of the 1990s, people stopped buying home knitters, so they stopped producing the lesser-known machines. Such a shame!

[@shirleymayo]

I have this knitter. I forget I had it I'll be getting out.. lovely video

[@skateness]

I was so inspired by your video that I purchased one of the double bed knitters online (model 96). Thanks!

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

Congrats! 😀

[@CuppaGrief]

I have the triangle. Love it. Been bedridden for a year, and knitted scarves on it. Would love to have the flatbed too!! I understood the factory stopped producing these, so I am worried I might run out of spare parts one day.

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

I know! I haven't been able to get the triangle. It's true they are not in the make anymore, but everybody is 3D printing their machines' parts now. I just created a circular sock knitting machine using a 3D printer. I posted the video a month ago.

[@like90]

Wow that's so cool! If I ever see one, I'm buying it for camping.

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

I know! I want another one but it's almost impossible to get them. I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks!

[@bellelouiseknits3630]

Hello l got one of these today, your video has been very useful and helpful thank you

[@6511638]

Hello, Thanks v much for sharing your experience of the Simpleframe knitter. I have one too and looking at your video, it seems to me that you only have half of it, which is a shame. You are doing really well thought with only half of the frame as it is really a ribbing machine and as you only have half, you can only do single knitting, not ribbing. Nevertheless, you are brill to figure out how your half works and sharing your enthusiasm for this great device. Keep up the good work and keep knitting!!!!

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

Thanks!

[@shirleymayo]

No your wrong. There is no other part for this. Model s100 You can do ribbing with the 100s

[@JANELESLIE-us5xd]

Please, where can I buy one of these?

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

Unfortunately, they stop making them in the late 1980s. I have been looking for another one and haven't found it. This is pretty much a collector's item. :(

[@merveceyhan7059]

hi Helen, i saw your video when i searched knitting machines and your machine is so good... but because of I live in Turkey i could not found this machine how can we get this machine could you share link by the way i searched ebay but i couldn't find:(((

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

Hi Merve, Unfortunately, they stopped this machine's production in 1987. This is a collectible item; the few in existence can only be found through eBay, and even there, they are very hard to find.

[@minanakhjavani319]

Would you please advise me where I can order the machine? I couldn’t find it online Thank you

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

Hi Mina, Thanks for watching. It seems like I am the only person that has this specific model. I found out that other people have the original version which is shaped like a triangle. I have been looking for the original Simple Frame myself, but I can't find any. I got this one from eBay UK (I live in USA) a while ago. They stopped making this machines in the 1990s. I tried to find information about the company, but it doesn't exist. It is a collectors item. :(

[@trucker47]

Wow Really Cool I Have The 48 Needle Simple Frame Knitting Machine The One You Call Triangle I'm Using Mine Right Now. Yours Is Longer. I like Yours Cool !!

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

Nice. At first, I looked for the triangle one, but I couldn't find any. Does yours knit in the round?

[@trucker47]

@@HelenSiersKnittingfingers I Think it Does Because it Has Needles On Both Sides Of The Simple Frame knitter and I Have 96 Needles on Mine I Quoted just 48 Last Time 48 0n Both Sides.

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

@@trucker47 Awesome!

[@koobiene701]

Hello, after looking at this video I actually bought me that machine! Now mine has missing some very important parts: the fingers that enable stocking stich. I apologize for being so bold but I wonder if you could lay one beside a ruler or such and photograph it, so I could get the measures to rebuild them?

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

Good for you, this is an awesome machine! Sure. Let me try to do it this weekend and I will let you know.

[@koobiene701]

Yippie!!! Thank you!!!

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

Hi, sorry it took me so long. I have the pictures. Where do I send them to you? I can't paste them here.

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

They are a little bit shy of 6 inches.

[@JyotiSharma-jx9iy]

How much rs

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

Hi Phadi, sorry for the late response. I actually want to get another one of these machines, but they stopped making them in the late 1980s. I found mine on eBay and it was expensive about $300.00, because it's considered a collectibles item and can only be found in the UK. I would suggest to put alerts on eBay so when one becomes available, you can be one the first ones to bid on it. Good luck!

[@anorganlover6281]

I'm afraid the BOND knitting machine is much better than this - when you can find one that works !

[@HelenSiersKnittingfingers]

Yes it is, but the Bond isn't portable. This one is a sophisticated loom. I love it because I can take it anywhere. In fact, I have several Bond machines, but I honestly prefer to use the Brother and Singer plastic beds, they're fantastic.
