Good afternoon. I have just found you and are really pleased to have done so. In the 90s I bought my first knitting machine. A brother 891/ribber. Shortly followed by the birth of my three sons. Needless to say the knitting machine got stuck in a cupboard to be sold somewhat unused a few years later. About 10 years ago a purchased a brother 965/ribber and a 260/ribber and then my mum became incapacitated with Alzheimer’s. So my knitting machine studies, again, got put on the back burner. Well, the time is now. I have serviced them with the help of many TH-cam videos and up to now they are working perfectly with just one small rectifiable issue. Could you please tell me the name of the software you are using as it looks really interesting. I have many pattern books all of which are extremely dated but a lot of the patterns could be brought up to date. With patterning software I wouldn’t have a clue where to start. I am now going to digest your videos and learn as much as I can as I feel I am starting from the beginning. I hope you can help and I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks
The software I'm using is abandonware called KnitWare, not available since 2015, however you may have some luck getting it to work from this link: web.archive.org/web/20141220065517/www.greatknitdesigns.com/
Broadly, either see the whole thing together leaving it open at one end, hang it back on the machine, take out the waste yarn and knit a neckband, or knit a separate neckband, fold it over the raw edges and sew it on.
The action on that machine sounds so lovely and light and smooth!

@@singlentendre thank you. I will take a look.
Thank you! Seriously helpful
You're videos have been the most helpful beginners guide, question with this how, are you finishing the part of the neckline done with waste yarn?
