i have a knitting machine like that, and it's called speed knitter, it looks like that, but i don't know how to put the yarn pole, can yung help me?

Thank you so much for this introduction / cast-on tutorial. I have been trying out my machine (basically the same but here in Germany mine is a Knittax M2) and have really been struggling with the only cast-on method I had seen others exlain (basically an e-wrap cast on, but the ribbing needles get cast on clockwise) So finicky and frustrating. I knew there must be an easier way. So thanks so much for this!!

Thank you, I enjoyed the tour. As a fellow ND and former off grid person (circumstances beyond my contol) it was lovely to see the familiar everyday things like the burner fan and charge controller that are not necessary for house living. I love the honesty of showing as is rather than fake show-home neat and tidy 😊

Hello brother i urgently need your help. I dropped my knitting machine carriage on the floor and now it won't work I tried reaching out to many youtuber but it was of no use. Please respond

Hi Charlie, great you're back! Are you planning to do any mobile machine servicing? I have a 950i , just plugged in and billowing smoke!

Good day - what is the make / model of this machine?

Goodday.... can you please tell me any information about that specific machine you using... I'm looking for the manual. But I need the name and module of the empisal...

I love how much knowledge you have of all the machines and their capabilities

I have owned many machines over the years, including punchcard and electronic machines. I just bought a "brand new" Brother KH 588" (unopened) push button machine and I am waiting to replace the sponge bar before starting to use it. I agree with you that the more sophisticated and automatic the machine, the less fun it is to use and so I am keen to get going on the more hands-on 588. I think I understand the principles on which the patterning features work but I do find the patterning diagrams in the manual quite confusing and hard t understand. I was wondering if you might be willing to walk us though how to read one these charts (if you know). Thanks for all the great tutorials. I have a friend living on a narrow boat on the Lancaster canal and stay with her quite often. Wonderful!

I was fortunate enough to buy a 588 in a charity shop for £20 a few years ago. I do find it a tad confusing though, so your videos are very helpful. I also have a KH 230 bulky with ribber & I tend to use that one mostly. But the 588 knits much smoother & the stitches are neater 👍

Hi Charlie. I just received a KH-587 that has never been used. When I took apart the carriage to check it out, I noticed 2 x 1mm springs that had broken. The spring metal is hair-thin, so I guess 60 years of atmosphere must have corroded the metal. Maybe it was stored near the coast. The springs help flip/pull the MC cams when the MC knob is turned. Do you know where I can get replacement springs? This video and your video about push-button machine advantages are awesome. I hope you can do more!

Brilliant news!

Hey, that's my machine! Brother KH-588 with the ribber. Glad to see it getting some love 😄

What’s the best way to contact you? I’d love to take up the offer of a machine to renovate and experiment with, assuming it is still available?

Thank you for making this video, it’s very helpful 👍🏻

Very interesting and useful! Thank you. Just missed out on a PC machine on eBay. Now I’m thinking starting with a push button is the better way to go anyway. Just starting my machine knitting journey and I’m loving your videos.

Thank you Charlie this is so simplifying how to do these things, the manuals do make these things complicated.

Thank you for this video, I can see exactly where I’ve gone wrong reinstating this card reader and will be putting it right at the weekend while watching your video again. One other problem I have is screws, according to the manual they refer to the screws as 3.18, what does that mean as my screws are getting impossible to use please?

Thanks for making this video. :-). Fascinating to see the mechanical engineering involved!

I'd correct your disclaimer to "don't take a card reader that works off" or "don't take it apart unless you are willing to make it irreparable" The whole "don't take it apart unless you know what you are doing" prevents the next generation from learning and so the ability to maintain will die with our generation.

A tip. IPA does do the job. But how it does it is by thinning the grease. If you miss some when cleaning it out, as the IPA evaporates, the grease will harden up again. If you instead use a hydrocarbon based cleaner like brake clean or something recommended to me on fb, napier gun cleaner, that actually dissolves the grease and you can easily just rinse it off.

How much grease are you putting on? Just a smear on moving parts? Is it a particular type of grease?

Facinating

But before then dobby looms right?

You sound like Josh Widdicombe 😊

I somehow lucked my way into one of these! Any chance you want to drop some knowledge about it? The only experience I have with knitting machines is dropping one on my foot as a child 🤣

Great explanation! Thanks

I hope you're now feeling better. I used to live on a narrowboat on the Grand Union Canal. Now I live in France. I've only just found your videos and I'm looking forward to going through them.

glad you're back ❤ 🎉 ❤

Haa

I was using a pb8 empisal when i was young im old i want something similar

❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love 💕

Very informative, thank you.

Very good video. Very good machine. Needs to be deeply cleaned and oiled before use. and then it is a delight!

Glad you are back

Will there be any maintenance videos as I have a problem with card feeding knob in that I can’t get it to push down to feed any patterns in. It actually hurts my hands to push it down?

YAY🎉 Welcome back Charlie. You were missed! Hoping your health is better.

Just found you! What is your name. Love the boat!!

The machine that you sold me after Covid is still going strong and is about to be cranking out winter socks. Hope you’re enjoying boating life

Wonderful news!!!

Brilliant demo!

Thank you this is fascinating I’ve got a rusty brother machine
