Work in Process: Machine Knitting

In the 1950s and 60s, knitting machines were marketed to young housewives. Although there were several brands, machines made by Brother were among the most popular. In the last few decades, home knitting machines have become less widely available, but are still used by hobbyists, textile artists, and apparel designers. RISD has several Brother knitting machines in the Textiles Department, where students regularly use them.
Peyton North (RISD BFA 2015, Textiles) shows us how to create stripes on a vintage Brother knitting machine.
