LK150 SERIES - Video 2 Open Cast On Methods

[@janatherton9194]

Thank you so much for this video, Sally! I recently bought a Silver Reed LK 150 and this video is much clearer than the instructions in the booklet!

[@JoanKentBible]

Sally, you are VERY relaxing to watch and your clear and informative videos are inspiring. Thank you.🎽👕🧦👚👗🩲👛😊❤

[@eleonoraeona7395]

❤ I love the way you explain things ❤️ Just soooooo easy to follow and no superfluous nonsense 😊 Thank you for your videos ❤️

[@blossomboba7444]

After 6 hours I finally find your video. I was ready to give up and you allowed me to cast on finally!!!!! More videos of the LK150 please

[@juliem7433]

Sally, you are a godsend! Thank you so much for that tutorial. I shall watch it and watch it, write down your instructions point by point because there are loads of clear relevant steps which are either not distinct in the instruction booklet or not covered at all.. Huge Bouquets to you.

[@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts]

Yes, there is a lot omitted from the book. Very unusual for Silver Reed, their books are normally pretty comprehensive. It was this lack that prodded me into making these videos.

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial ☺️

[@margaretfrost9140]

Sally do you do any videos on how to use a KR11 knit radar for the lk-150 it would be great because you explain so so clearly thank you x x

[@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts]

Sorry Margaret, I don’t ever use a Knitradar.

It's OK to use DN wool is it Sally, thanks 😊

[@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts]

DK is perfect for the LK150.

[@annthompson3246]

Sally I tried to knit last night but it kept coming off needles on the 2nd, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, thanks

[@annthompson3246]

Hi Sue I am still not getting the hang of it, I used DK, but its not knitting right, I'm real down about it, I was just knitting a baby cardigan, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I hope you can help please, thank you

[@annthompson3246]

I dont know what I'm doing wrong but I cant even get 2 rows done, I had a brother machine and a chunky machine for years so knitting machines are not new to me, im very disheartened, help Sally PLEASE

[@annthompson3246]

Been trying past hour and half 😩

[@nasreenchaudhary1515]

[@annthompson3246]

So you only leave the Russel levers and back levers on 2 for cast on, then you put them back and leave them there ?

[@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts]

It depends on the method! The Russell levers control the needles in hold. If they are at I then any needle at D position will not knit. The side levers control whether needles will knit or slip.

[@Sylvia-Storm]

I’ve just bought a LK150 but the carriage keeps jamming and the tension is far too tight. Any ideas please.

[@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts]

It sounds most likely that you are using yarn that is too thick, or the stitch dial setting is too low. Or, maybe you’re trying with something like cotton which has no stretch. I recommend starting with a DK weight of yarn, dial set to 4. Or worsted weight, dial set to 7. If it’s in balls or skeins then you need to wind into cakes

[@juliaresnikowski2507]

Muy buenas explicaciones pero xq no se puede poner en español?

[@Grova]

What's the point of the ravel cord at 12:35?

[@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts]

The point of the ravel cord here is to hold the open loops of yarn in place on the needles, allowing the needles to move forward, and the next stitch to knit through, without the initial row becoming unravelled.
