Introduction to Machine Knitting on a Silver Reed Punchcard Machine - Video One
This is the first in a series of nine videos designed to get the total beginner started on their knitting machine. It’s intended for any metal bed punchcard machine manufactured by Silver Reed or - as they were previously known around the world - Knitmaster, Singer or Studio.
These machines all use a patterning mechanism of two drums located on the back of the machine carriage. Irrespective of model number, if your machine has this two drum patterning system, these videos will apply to you.
I have filmed on a standard gauge SK280 model, which is still available brand new. The chunky/bulky model is the SK155, also still available new. If you have the plastic bed LK150 I have a separate seri...

Machine Knitting on the Silver Reed Punchcard Machine - Video Two - Set up and Yarn Prep
Просмотров 1462 часа назад
In this second video, I talk about yarn choices and the importance of using yarn of the correct weight and type, especially whilst learning. Many beginners stumble because they’re trying to knit with yarn that is too thick, or of an unforgiving non-stretchy fibre, such as cotton.

There are several different cast on methods which can be used on a knitting machine, and each method has its appropriate uses. In this third video, I demonstrate two methods of temporary cast on, user for practice and swatches, and for the process of making turned hems and mock ribs. Neither would be suitable as a finished edge on a garment, but are important elements of the machine knitter’s r...

Being able to make and measure a proper tension piece, or gauge swatch, is absolutely essential if you want your items to turn out the correct size, and for you to make garments that fit. Silver Reed invented the useful gadget, known as the green ruler, even though technically it’s a scale, not a ruler. It enables you to make - in a matter of minutes - an accurate swatch in any yarn, any stitch...

      @@millysmoonnursery2011 yes, you can. When I shape the top of my sweaters for the neck opening, I put all the stitches into hold. Join one should seam. Then pick up the neck stitches onto the main bed, knit 1 row then transfer to rib arrangement. Knit the ribbing double depth, followed by three rows of stocking stitch and remove on plenty of waste knitting, at least 10 rows. Join the other shoulder and the neck seam. Turn the neck to the OUTSIDE, then backstitch it into place through the open loops. Remove the waste. This produces a beautiful neat and stretchy neck. It is demonstrated in the projects on the Facebook group Machine Knitting Beginners and Returners Circle.

    Hello Sally, I have had my LK150 for about 3 weeks now and I am following your videos as I go. In this one I am happy to see that all the things that go wrong with me, you have the same problems. 😊. I am knitting finger-less gloves for the needy kids. I would like to knit a 2x1 rib but I don't want holes. The rib can only be single not turned up as that would make it too thick and probably too tight. After doing a simple e-cast on I knit 10 rows. At that point I am concerned that I will get a row of holes which I don't want. Any way to overcome that situation please? Aside, when I saw Kalamunda I assumed you were in Perth Western Australia, as we lived near there. Kind regards, JennyB.

    • @sallybutcherskalamundakrafts
      @sallybutcherskalamundakrafts 27 дней назад

      Hi Jenny - to avoid the holes, you have to pick up a heel stitch from the adjacent needle and put on the empty one - same way as you do an increase. The name Kalamunda is because my dad visited the area during the war, his vessel was in for repairs, and the crew were billeted out to families in the area. He stayed in Kalamunda. Unfortunately, we don't know with whom he stayed, but he always said how much he enjoyed it there.

      @@TheJadesola87 the pattern selector PS150 doesn’t convert your machine to pattern automatically. There should be a 12 pin needle selector with it. You push the needle selector into the card reader to select the right pushers. Then you use the pushers to manually put the required needles out to D position. You must also select the correct levers so that the carriage slips or holds stitches. Coloured patterns are created by knitting two rows alternately in different colours.

    Hi Sally, that’s an excellent video. I managed to pick up one of these yesterday. It has a couple of missing parts. The first one yours looks missing as well and it’s to do with the beater bar There’s a bit missing across the top of it. Well, I downloaded a knitking manual as it was free rather than buying the weave master manual. The main piece that’s missing seems to be where the actual weave master attaches to the knitting machine. To the side of it there are letters ABCD and E and a slot well, I think the missing part goes. Would it be possible? You could send me over a picture of how you connect yours? The machine is so old and rare I very much doubt I’m ever gonna be able to purchase this part but I’m wondering look if I could look at it I could make a workaround, any help? I would be really grateful thanks rachel.

    A very informative video Sally and I really admire anyone who can punch a whole card with the pop punches. In the days before dye cutting machines I used the PM10 (or I paid someone to cut my cards for me!). Just as a note, at the risk of sounding pedantic (sorry!) at 4:46 Toyota machines don't use a belt mechanism, they use a grooved rotating rod that engages with the carriage and moves the needles. The rod spins backwards and forwards in time with the carriage movement - just as the belt mechanism would slide side to side (and in IMHO is much more reliable than the belt system which is prone to slipping).
