I’ve gotten to know the Knitmaster machine very intimately over the past few months, so I’d like to share what I’ve learned through a quick tutorial. There are a few aspects that can trip new users up, so the aim would be to cover the basics and help you to avoid common mistakes.
I would hope to cover:
Unpacking the machine
Understanding the different parts
Attaching the carriage and tension unit
Preparing the yarn
Threading the yarn through the tension unit
Setting gauge and stitch size
Understanding the carriage controls
Casting on
Knitting first few rows
Attaching weights
Using the electronic pattern reader
Casting off
Packing the machine away
Although I’d be demonstrating on the Knitmaster, the knowledge would be broadly applicable to the Brother machine as well.
If anyone’s interested, please let me know and I can suggest some potential dates!
