On my facebook group a knitter was having issues getting the program to load on his knitting machine. I took a few minutes this morning to see if I could replicate the issue. I did. The first try on my kh930 - the image 2 track program had very few blips loading the pattern of the day (called a track) The second try however - I shifted my connecting cable to miss 2 pins on the port. This replic...

Here is the Big finish. This long video is the entire 2nd side of the project. There is a mistake when I missed a needle on the first transfer row. So much sadness, but I do not let it get me down. We just continue - I can fix it when I weave in my yarn tails.

In this short video we are finishing the first half of the face ribbing.
Balaclava 2024 pt 6
มุมมอง 55หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video we split the face ribbing in half so that it's easier to seam. I do not like to hang my project on the machine and knit the ribbing directly onto it. Instead, I knit the ribbing and then I put my project onto it for the final row of knitting and then bind off. For me, it's just easier. In this video we are using 44L to 44R. We are casting on using waste yarn first. We are then kni...

This is the video where we seam the first side of the crown. We hang the live stitches over 19L to 19R and then ease the 54 rows of the crown over the same needles. We knit across at tension 10, then we do exaggerated larger loops for a gate peg bind off row.

In this shorter video we learn about how to re-memorize a row. I had to try 2 times. But I got it on the second try. No accidents while knitting, only forgot to record on one camera and then the other, my bad. This was really easy though we are knitting on 19L and 19R, 54 rows, mark center, then remove on waste yarn. Easy peasy. To re-memorize a row on the brother knitting machines - lock your ...

In this video we start with the reduction on the Left side - 10 stitches. We then do a few more reduction on each side then we knit the rest of the side of the hat. We mark 19L and 19R and remove the project on waste yarn. I had a few technical issues and had to edit out a few sections of nonsense. The Next video will show How to reset the patterning so we can knit the "crown" flap for the hat.

And here we go. This 20 minute video gets the Neck ribbing knit (50 rows) and the first 18 rows of the hat itself knit. We are working with mystery yarn as usual. IF you can match the tension readings - 16cm/40st and 17cm/60rows you will have a perfect fit. The tension swatch was tension 9, but we changed it up to be a Fairisle project so the tension was increased to Tension 10. You do not have...

In this short video we finish the sayg mitten. You can see that the yarn is not appropriate for mittens, but that's ok with me. It's Pretty. Can I do better - Yes of course I can. Will I try this again, I don't think so, there is so much more we can do.

We finish the palm of the mitten and get ready for the Next video. For the reductions we start at row 56 by reducing both ends 1 stitch every 2 rows. For the Thumb we are hanging 11 stitches on both beds then adding 1 stitch on each bed and knitting circular for 56 rows. Transferring every 2nd stitch, then knitting 4 rows at tension 2. We remove the thumb on the yarn tai

2x1 industrial ribbing - 40L - 40R tension 3. 29 rows, then 1 row normal knitting. Then we remove the entire piece on waste yarn. That being said... you don't have to remove the entire piece. you could just remove half on waste yarn, and then start knitting the First half of the mitten.

You did it in detail thank you l will do one like it
Thanks Cindy, will follow you . Mine brother is a kh 891 and I am using the kr 850 for 40 years, but hope to learn something new 😊❤
Thankfully these videos are going to follow the book and it should not use fancy electronics, the whole point is the ribber, the ribbing, the racking, and then the fun of the Lili buttons are a bonus.
Oh thank you!! I have a 910 and 850, that I have never used, I’m so intimidated by them 🫣
The kh 910 is a hard beast to learn, but the Ribber is very user friendly.
💐OBRIGADA 💐
❤
Ooh, I'm looking forward to learning more about my ribber.
Thank you for these, Cindy. I've had my mum's 836 and bought a KR850 for it but have hardly used them (I have a Knitmaster 360 with ribber etc so the Brother's been stored under the bed). Will you be covering the Brother colour changer at some point?
I watched most of your videos they are very detailed and clear thank you
My garter carriage kept stopping along a row the last time I used it I'm going to have another go at it as at first I thought it was.my pacemaker that was causing it is there anywhere in Scotland repairs them if I'm unsuccessful I use a brother 965 machine with motor all needles are intact my son is going to get it down for me today you're video has been very helpful my carraige is a k95 thanks for all the information
Sounds like you either need to tear it all the way down to clean it, or you might need a new motor. I have only changed a few motors in my time, I have not torn apart a garter carriage to the frame yet.
@CJMactaggartknits been at it all day whatever it was it's working now thankyou message about with the speed control and away it went
Hi I pick up my kh940 machine in a couple of weeks and have been thinking about the Img2track program. I was wondering what the cable looks like that I need to connect to my laptop so I can try and purchase one. I’m in Australia thank you:-)
You can find the Cable on the Img2track website. Daviworks makes them in house - so it is ready to go when it arrives. If you make your own there is some work you got to do to make it work. I also suggest finding a extension cord for the 8 pin port if you can find one - it will prevent accidental snapping of the pins.
What pattern number are you using?
Sorry, I forgot to reply. I will get you the number I used.
Ok the thumbside - I custom made a pattern - it is 3 x 3 squares (you can use 2x2 easily if you take a 1x1 and stretch it both ways) and the fancy side is stitchword #38.
Lovely Stocking. What yarn size are you using?
Well... this is 2 years ago. I know the tension was 6. The yarn should have been a 2. I was using Loops and threads "wool like" from Michaels craft store for a lot of my projects back then. But... I will go check. I love that stocking and have it not far away.
Yes, the White yarn and red yarn are both Loops and Threads wool like - and it is a "1" which is "super fine" yarn. The thicker yarn used for the weaving was a Medium yarn.
Do you use the motor on the 260? Can it be used with a ribber?
Absolutely. That is the only reason I have it. One does have to be careful and align it perfectly. and go slow. I do not use it in my videos because it would not be fair to folks who do not have one.
Great. What kind of help are you needing?
I am having to relearn the passap after not using it for more then 3 months. Lots to remember. ArtofClay is a really good mentor and we are looking forward to knitting a few projects together soon.
@@CJMactaggartknits Great that will be awesome for both of you. Are you in the USA or Canada?
@@galaxythree4653 I am in canada, Art of clay is in Europe.
Very cute. Please do this on the Passap machine also. Am I missing your Passap videos or have you not made as many? ❤
I am planning on making a few more videos on the passap - with the help from ArtofClay. I am sure I can figure out a way to do this hat on the passap, mittens too.
❤thankyou

thank you!! :)
Hello Can I ask what was the size of your needle?
Which needle? do you mean the machine itself - it's spacing is 4.5mm.
My needle stock on my lace carriage I found a way to fix it. Now every time it knit it drop stitches
@@EnjuAhmed you should order some new ones. You can buy them on Ali Express you just need to make sure you order the right ones for your machine.
I would be gently advise you to rename this great video adding Brother & knitting machine words to it. I occasionally found it and I really want it will be visible to other people.
I will see if I can edit it in some way. Thank you for your suggestion.
I made some changes - let me know if they work.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, and special thank you for the feature you've given in the end of the video.
Love your videos warts all. Any way of adapting this to a bulky machine?
Absolutely. I just need you to do a tension swatch and then share your tensions with me. Then I will post a Quick video on the Bulky for you. Please tell me your yarns name and I will put it in the video too.
I made this mitten and I must be doing something wrong because the side seams are really loose you can see through them. What could I have done differently to make the connections tighter?
@@nancyjones6784 You did NOTHING wrong. Your yarn might be too thin though. Mittens are so hard to get perfect. The best way to get perfect mittens is a tension swatch, and a good knit leader pattern. It is luck if you can pick a yarn that works with another persons pattern. Another thing you can try is using a different seaming technique. Sew as you go is tricky. Knitting it in 2 pieces and then sewing both halves together is way easier and I think it looks neater.
@ Thank you I was not sure as this was my second project since getting a knitting machine. Thank you for the great videos they were extremely helpful.
❤ beautiful
What is the pattern #?
Its stitchworld # 20
Hai Cindy the bed is out of focus 😮
I noticed that when I was editing. It's one of the many things I do not know until I edit.
Thanks for this video, I'm making my first ever flat bed socks with seam and it was really useful to see how you did each stage
AWESOME to hear !!! I am working on Mittens inspired by flat bed socks for Octobers knit a long.
Will any punch card work with any of the settings, such as tuck, slip, fair aisle etc?
no. not all. There is a chart in the manual which states which punch card work for which of the settings on the carriage. And if you bought a secondary set, they also have a index normally which tells you what they do. For example Weaving punch cards do not work for slip or tuck. And you would not use Lace punch cards for Fair isle etc.
@@CJMactaggartknits Thank you so much for this information. Sadly the charts you speak of did not come with my machine, in fact I don’t think the few punch cards I got are even the cards for my 360K. I’ve been doing trial and error and I have managed to do a Fair Aisle swatch (with much difficulty). I have had a lot of problems with this machine as some of the parts were missing and the white bar under the carriage was cracked and it would not knit. The person I bought it from did send me another piece of carriage that she had listed for parts only and I was able to use some of the parts from it to fix the carriage. I have had to replace bent needles, clean, and oil the machine. This is my first punch card/knit radar machine so I’m not really sure what I am doing. I do have the LK150 and even a Bond ISM, so I’m somewhat familiar with how these machines should work. I do enjoy your videos and learn from them. Thank you!
Use a garter bar to move the stitches, so much faster.
absolutely. But not everybody has one.
I would have removed the left side on waste yarn then drop it off (just the side with waste yarn) and hang those sts on the ribber. You can also incorporate a "jaws" tool to do the transfers to the ribber then move the main bed stitches over. :)
YES ! You are correct, BUT one has to remember it's backwards on the ribber So you would remove it on waste yarn - reverse it, hang it on the ribber, Then start section 2. One can also do the Sew as you knit when knitting the 2nd section to avoid having to seam it.
Where do I get a pattern for a plain sweater
I have used needles of steel, and machine knitting etc. But I have also used Design a knit. Tell me more about what you are looking for in a pattern. Do you want V neck or crew? Pockets or no? cardigan or just a Really simple sweater?
@CJMactaggartknits I am only starting out I got 230 knitting machine from my sister and need some patterns that I can follow 😊
@@maryvanbree4482 Well then. A another great resource with LOTS of easy to follow patterns are on the "blog spot" for the Ultimate sweater machine. The USM has a similar tension to the KH 230, uses similar yarns, and the patterns are easy to follow. I will post the link for you. Because you are just learning to like your machine - for the USM patterns just used Tension 4 on the KH 230 to start. As you get used to your machine then go up or down on the tension dial. Also... make sure you change the sponge bar on your knitting machine.

@CJMactaggartknits thanks so much I was to a point of giving up till I saw your videos thanks again
Thanks!
Nice work, but….. I doe have a question 😊. You have 2 right sides on the triangel. Only one has the scallops? Will you knit scallops on the other side ? How will this look on a person? 😅
The scallops are only on the base. I just finished the full sized scarf. It's pretty cool. I will post the photos on the facebook and then make it the thumb nails for the videos. I am going to see if I can get it on a maniquin for more photos today.
Lovely thank you ❤
Thanks CJ. Excellent video.
The full size project is coming up this week.
Thanks!
Adorei, top 💯
