Excellent video. I love your creativity. Another thing the intarsia Carriage will allow you to do, is to knit two sides of a neck at once. Or knitting the back and front or both sleeves at the same time (garment size depending). It is really a useful carriage.
This was just crazy to watch. I loved it. I had no idea you can do two carriages on your machine at the same time. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for such a great video.
@AnnaHaferman oh thats good to know. Could you then do the two sides of a v neck at the same time or could you only do say two socks at the same time?
Anna, estoy muy agradecida por haber encontrado este video tan maravillosamente explicado. También porque tiene subtitulos en español. Desde ahora puedo usar mis carros de manera más efectiva. 😊😊😊
I appreciate this so much, my intarsia is a scary little tool I keep in the corner but this video defs made me more comfortable with using it! Thank YOU
Very dope anna! I have had an lk 150 for about 2 years but got frustrated and took a break because i couldn't gigure out intarsia (didn't know there was literally a carriage for this,) this really puts things into perspective and clears up so much! Thank you!
If you have two regular carriages, it's probably just as easy either way. I only have one main carriage for the LK 150 so the intarsia method is the easiest for me.
Thank you so much for this video. I clicked your links to purchase several items (including the cartridge!). You can buy more yarn and make more videos now :-)
So technically one could knit two front panels of a cardigan at the same time, using the intarsia carriage? I love the possibilities! Don't have one but I'm certainly considering purchasing one... Thank you Anna!
Very interesting! Could you show how to do Houndstooth with the intarsia carriage? I would assume that would help keep the floats from being so aggravating. Thank you for all your videos!
It would be a lot more work to do houndstooth with intarsia carriage. You would need a separate ball of yarn for each color change. What is the problem you are having with floats?
@@AnnaHaferman thank you for answering! I’m trying to do a baby blanket and I was hoping to do a houndstooth pattern but I realized that it wouldn’t be good to have all the floats on a blanket for a baby. I was hoping the intarsia method would keep me from having them. Maybe I could just use the houndstooth for a pillow and then it wouldn’t matter. Again, thank you so much for answering my question.
You could make the back in soft cotton cos babies love to nibble and suck on blankets so while my mom gave me lots of lovely crotchet and knit things they were pretty but we never actually put them near the baby. Cotton jersey was the closet to a knit we put on her bed. And we used the knits for the pram cover so he couldnt suck on the yarn 😂 maybe thays just my baby. Hes 17 and still nibbles his sleeves at school! 😂@angieallen7363
Thank you Anna for all these videos. I would like to know where we can get the small spools that you use to prevent the different wools from mixing. I take this opportunity to wish you a very happy new year 2023
If you mean traditional intarsia picture knitting, then not really. You can do some geometric shapes with the regular carriage by using holding position and changing colors.
this is the stype stuff I want to do with a knitting machine, if you could tell me witch machine and garage to get so I buy the right tone from the start,
There are links in the description to the knitting machine and the intarsia carriage. The knitting machine comes with a carriage; look at some of my other LK 150 videos and you will see.
It does not work with the KX 350. there was no intarsia carriage made for the KX 350, but if you can get your hands on a KH 400 or KX 395, that carriage has built in intarsia and will work on the KX 350 also. Unfortunately, those machines are hard to find.
@@AnnaHaferman oh Anna you are such a star ⭐️ I can not tell how you have changed my live… all your tutorials have helped my so much… it’s fare to say I’m obsessed 🤩 Thank you 😊 so much. I did not get any instructions with my second hand kx390, do you know what the settings are? I’m so excited 😆 now 😘😘😘😘
I have a graphed design I was going to do with C2C crochet. I am thinking I might be able to do it on my LK 150 with the Intarsia carriage that I just recently purchased. However, this is my question, is it possible to do say, 20 stitches of blue, then one stitch of black, then 20 stitches of green, then one stitch of black, and then 20 stitches of blue?
@@AnnaHaferman Thank you for your reply. I am thinking it might be possible for me to redesign the pattern and omit the black stitch. I just watched the Snowball Beanie video and I would love to see you do the entire hat with the Intarsia carriage. You are so talented! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge
No. They did not make an intarsia carriage for the KX 350, but if you can find a KH 400 or KH 395, the carriages have intarsia and can be used on the KX 350.
You won't be able to do the picture knitting but you can do stripes, and patterning. This video shows the snowball pattern: th-cam.com/video/hT3wLvEasDo/w-d-xo.html
This was a good machine. But everyone knits way too loose. The knitting would never keep it's shape. It wouldn't be able to be sewn up easily. And you could forget washing the item !
Not true. This machine produces perfectly good knitting. I have been using mine for several years. If you have problems with your knitting, then I would advise you to check that the yarn you are using is suitable for the sort of knitting you want to do, and that you follow the yarn manufacturer's instructions for washing the finished item.
Thank you so much. I bought the carriage and well not even attempted it but you made me not scared of it lol
Don’t be scared! It’s really easy once you get the hang of it. I suggest practicing with swatches at first.
Excellent video. I love your creativity. Another thing the intarsia Carriage will allow you to do, is to knit two sides of a neck at once. Or knitting the back and front or both sleeves at the same time (garment size depending). It is really a useful carriage.
Thanks! I thought of showing how to do two socks at the same time in that video but decided to do it sometime in the future.
Is there any video to show working both sleeves?
Could you please show in a video how to shape a neckline and shoulders on both sides? It would really be appreciated, I'm sure.
@@AnnaHaferman
wow i had never thought about that. nice
This was just crazy to watch. I loved it. I had no idea you can do two carriages on your machine at the same time. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for such a great video.
Thanks! You can even use two regular carriages on your knitting machine.
@AnnaHaferman oh thats good to know. Could you then do the two sides of a v neck at the same time or could you only do say two socks at the same time?
Thank you am pulling out the intarsia carriage today, your instructions are very good. Step by step and clear
Thank you!
Wow! I've never used my intarsia carriage. Gotta get it out! Thanks so much for a fantastic video!
Thanks! Definitely try out your intarsia carriage!
Thank you so much for making this very, very thorough demonstration! You've demystified the intarsia carriage :D
Anna, estoy muy agradecida por haber encontrado este video tan maravillosamente explicado. También porque tiene subtitulos en español. Desde ahora puedo usar mis carros de manera más efectiva. 😊😊😊
That's great! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the intarsia demonstrating. I joy all your video
Thanks! I appreciate it!
How is it possible to be so clear and precise ??? Thank you so much for such a good tutorial Anna
I appreciate your kind words!
Thanks for watching!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. I am becom8ng reacquainted with my machines after a hiatus!
Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you Anna for another great tutorial. You always explain so clearly in your videos which I enjoy learning from so much.
That's very nice to hear!
Now I have to buy an intarsia carriage :) . Very good tutorial, thank you!
Very dope anna! I have had an lk 150 for about 2 years but got frustrated and took a break because i couldn't gigure out intarsia (didn't know there was literally a carriage for this,) this really puts things into perspective and clears up so much! Thank you!
Great! Let me know how it goes if you get the carriage.
Ann i have the carriage but didn't know it went with this machine 😳
Anna did you get the rollers , and ate they much better than the brushes
its gorgeous 😍,
Great tips, I especially like the idea of the stripes. I was using 2 carriages to get the striping but this looks so much easier!
If you have two regular carriages, it's probably just as easy either way. I only have one main carriage for the LK 150 so the intarsia method is the easiest for me.
Thank you so much for this video. I clicked your links to purchase several items (including the cartridge!). You can buy more yarn and make more videos now :-)
Thanks! I appreciate your support. The intarsia carriage is fun to use!
Thank you for the video tip and your great way of explaning how to do
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your kind words.

Yes, or two socks at one time.
@@AnnaHaferman Great! Will certainly try some day - thank you!
Thank you for a fantastic video! Just used your link to order the carriage. Can't wait to try it!
Thanks so much!
You can also shape both sides of a neck opening at the same time or knit 2 identical items (like sleeves) at the same time
Yes! I thought of including that but it was complicated to show an example so I left it for a future video.
Please do make that future video soon. I'd love to know how to do necklines at the same time.
@@AnnaHaferman
Some great ideas, Anna! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bonnie!
This is the information I was looking for. The link for the carriage is not working, do you have another one?
Thanks! I updated the link in the description.
Thanks very much that is a great help🤗🇮🇪
Thanks for watching!
do you know how to match the tension of the carriage to the tension of the normal carriage? there are more numbers in the normal carriage
You would have to swatch with each one and do trial and error.
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Спасибо, очень полезное видео! 🌷
Thank you so much!
Thank you 😊♥️☕️
Thank you for watching!
Could you make a baby blanket with your snowball design this way?
Yes you could!

Hi and thanks so much! There is a link for the bobbins in the description for the video.
@@AnnaHaferman Ok Than you very much.
I have the AG 10 version (but never used it). Is there a big difference please?
I think it’s pretty much the same thing.
Thanks for the video!!! I'd like to know if it is possible to knit intarsia with the regular carriage.
Thank you so much.
If you mean traditional intarsia picture knitting, then not really. You can do some geometric shapes with the regular carriage by using holding position and changing colors.
@@AnnaHaferman Thanks!!
Can you use this carriage on your sheep hat to stop floats ?
Yes, but it would be quite a bit more work.
Love your video, where can I get a intarsia for my LK 150 knitting machine???🌹
I put a link in the description of the video.
This video is so awesome! I have that carriage but never really used it. You are so smart- you make it look so easy. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks! It is really easy with practice and of course, I edit out the parts where I drop stitches! LOL!
Muito obrigada

@@AnnaHaferman thank you so much
Do you find the tension for intarsia carriage is the same as the regular carriage?
I haven't compared them to be honest. You could knit a swatch with each one at the same tension, see how they compare and then adjust if needed.
Olá, uma pergunta... o carro original do lk150 não consegue fazer esses desenhos que o intarsia faz?
No, it can't. You can approximate it with short-rowing but the designs you can do are limited.
Hallo mam i have brother 881 can i use intersia carriage on it
Yes, but not the one shown in the video. You need one that is specifically made for the 881. Brother KA 8210 will work.
Three color fairisle!
Thanks for watching!
Is this intarsia carriage used the same way as the weave-R?
No; it's a totally different thing.
love this video explanation for intarsia! do you know if this carriage works on the brother kx 350 or is it only for the lk150?
It does not work with the KX 350. there was no intarsia carriage made for the KX 350, but if you can get your hands on a KH 400 or KX 395, that carriage has built in intarsia and will work on the KX 350 also. Unfortunately, those machines are hard to find.
Oh great! I have one.
@@AnnaHaferman
Would the AG11 carriage work on the KX 395 as they so similar? 😊
No, the beds are different widths but the Brother KX 395 carriage has an intarsia setting so you can use that instead.
@@AnnaHaferman oh Anna you are such a star ⭐️ I can not tell how you have changed my live… all your tutorials have helped my so much… it’s fare to say I’m obsessed 🤩
Thank you 😊 so much.
I did not get any instructions with my second hand kx390, do you know what the settings are?
I’m so excited 😆 now 😘😘😘😘
Do you have the KX 395 or the KX 390? The 395 has intarsia but the 390 does not.
@@AnnaHaferman aaaagh dear! I have the KX 390. Never mind 😔
Thank you for all your help. Have a wonderful day. 😁👍❤️
@@SaffyFoo Oh no! So close! Anyway, there is plenty you can do with the convertible machine so don't be discouraged!

However, this is my question, is it possible to do say, 20 stitches of blue, then one stitch of black, then 20 stitches of green, then one stitch of black, and then 20 stitches of blue?
Yes, but I would do a swatch first to make sure you like how it looks. Sometimes a single stitch in an outline doesn't stand out enough.
@@AnnaHaferman Thank you for your reply. I am thinking it might be possible for me to redesign the pattern and omit the black stitch. I just watched the Snowball Beanie video and I would love to see you do the entire hat with the Intarsia carriage. You are so talented! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge
That's a great idea! Thanks!
I would suggest using duplicate stitch to place the single black stitches in the pattern.
Would this carriage work on the kx350?
No. They did not make an intarsia carriage for the KX 350, but if you can find a KH 400 or KH 395, the carriages have intarsia and can be used on the KX 350.
Bravo!
Thanks!
Hi. Thanks again for that great video. Can I do that with the main slider too?
You won't be able to do the picture knitting but you can do stripes, and patterning. This video shows the snowball pattern: th-cam.com/video/hT3wLvEasDo/w-d-xo.html

The main carriage. Sorry

This was a good machine. But everyone knits way too loose. The knitting would never keep it's shape. It wouldn't be able to be sewn up easily. And you could forget washing the item !

If you have problems with your knitting, then I would advise you to check that the yarn you are using is suitable for the sort of knitting you want to do, and that you follow the yarn manufacturer's instructions for washing the finished item.
