Intarsia on the LK140 Knitting Machine by Carole Wurst

[@roxannejarvis2263]

You are the BEST!!! I've watched countless (and lengthy) videos on intarsia, but yours was short, sweet, and very easy to understand. Thanks SO MUCH for making your video!!! I've subscribed and can't wait to see what else you have.

thank you so much, your time is greatly appreciated

[@deborahknight5184]

Thank You Carole. I have the LK140 and an Intarsia carriage but hadn't worked out how to use it yet. I appreciate you putting this out there for all of us!

[@carolescountryknits]

Thank you!

[@annthompson3246]

Me too, thank you 😊

[@annthompson3246]

Can you knit chunky wool on this machine, thank you, LK140

[@deborahknight5184]

@@annthompson3246 up to a worsted weight #4. Anything heavier and it's hard to push the carriage

[@VImassive]

Nice. I have a LK 140 as well. I will have to purchase an intarsia carriage. Thanks.

[@rosatello3952]

Thank you so much it was very interesting.

[@hal7ter]

One can do this on the Bond without a special carriage - is the Intarsia carriage really needed on the 140? I am considering the purchase of a 150!

[@Henry-n7n8]

would this machine do an Icord? either the lk140/lk150? thanks

[@user-im8sd4nn1n]

Little late but yes it can

[@Veronica6292]

Sory, LK 150?

[@daisyboyer2393]

Hello I have a machine LK150 and the trolley intarsia carriage AG11 has every I lose meshes I do not understand and for the color change with the trolley intarsia carriage I happen not I always lose my mesh can you m explain how to position the needles s Thank you

[@carolescountryknits]

If you position the needles as shown in the video, it should work properly and not drop anything. If you are losing stitches the machine may require a new sponge. The AG11 Intarsia Carriage works best with a new firm sponge under the needles.

Why can't you do with with the regular carriage?

[@carolescountryknits]

Hello, the regular carriage is always threaded and it is not possible to stop mid-way across and rethread the carriage with a different color. The Intarsia Carriage selects the needles into the appropriate position for ease in laying differently colored yarns wherever you please. The regular carriage will knock stitches off the needles if it is used without thread. The Intarsia Carriage won't do that. Happy knitting!

[@cortiees]

Carole, where do you like to buy your yarn on cones?

[@carolescountryknits]

Hello, we sell yarn on cones right here in our shop. All types of weights, and types of yarn like acrylic, wool, cotton, alpaca, or blends.

[@maryhampton73]

Where do I find charts or how do I make them.

[@carolescountryknits]

We often use charts from handknitting books. Or, use a piece of graph paper and draw your own chart. A high school student at our shop used graph paper from her algebra class to draw a picture of a character from Harry Potter and used that graph to select the needles to knit.

Hi Carole, Great video. I want to get a Knitting Machine. I love the Machine you used in this. Where can I purchase? Thanks in advance for all your help.

[@carolescountryknits]

Hello, we sell them at our shop and provide free lessons here. Or, it can be shipped to most addresses. We have new and used machines, starting at $200. We sell a new machine like the one in this video for $439 plus shipping.

[@daisyboyer2393]

Good evening I do not understand how to cross the wires can you help me please thank you

[@carolescountryknits]

Hi there, if you are asking about crossing the yarn in the middle of the Intarsia, it may help to expand the view of the video to fullscreen or larger so you can see it better. You can see it well at 4:41.

[@daisyboyer2393]

Hello thank you for answer me I would like to make a cover several square but in different color possble to you to make a video please

[@carolescountryknits]

We will be making more videos in a few weeks and will try to make your suggestion. Several squares would be easy to do, prepare bobbins with the different colors and do the squares all across the machine. Try 15 needles with each color. It will look like a patchwork quilt.

[@daisyboyer2393]

Hello thank you for your reply I would wait your videos so that I can make my squares in different colors and I will subscribe to your chain good continuation

[@deborahelle4801]

it’s written in carriage instructions that it will work

[@maried3717]

Thought it was going to be how to do the lion image.
