Any owner of the LK150 knitting machine quickly has to come to grips with the fact that this machine has no ribbing attachment, and that if they want to knit a garment with ribbed edges, they need to learn how to overcome this obstacle, either by knitting a rib by hand on needles, hand manipulating it, or doing a mock rib. Or, knitting some other kind of edge to their garment. In this series I’...

Your ribber videos are extremely helpful. Not too many youtube machine knitters have videos for my machine, which is exactly the same as yours, thank God! Please feel free to do more of these ribber videos, and thanks so much!
Non knitting list of items :- nail files, plasters, coffee, wine ( depending on the progress and level of cussing 😂) pegs, safety pins and so the list goes on😂

Love the jumper where did you get the pattern please
It is based on a KAL I did on Facebook, in the Machine Knitting Beginners and Returners Circle, which gives a series of schematics in basic sizes. And then I did a follow up video explaining how I designed and calculated the “patchwork” version. If you join the group, all the information is free.
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).
@@countkostaki thanks for letting me know about the Toyota machines, glad you like the videos. I actually find card punching quite therapeutic!
Thank you sally I’ve learnt so much this last week from you! X getting there again 😊x
Thank you for this informative video.
Thank you so much for making these videos. I have an LK150 and with your help and super interesting and informative advice, I have been able to experiment with my machine ❤
Thank you so much for all your sharing! Great content. Looking forward to joining the Facebook group. Would you maybe consider sharing tips on how to finish a hand knit joke sweater on the lk150? Thnx!
@@rgranada-t6n I would knit the plain pieces first, then join them up in the round to knit the yoke.
Great techniques to know! I love your ribber videos especially, as I have just gotten my SK-280 ribber, which I've been really struggling with, and your tips are so helpful!
Greetings from France ❤😊. Lovely to see you again with another tutorial. Love the cables on the red cardigan. Hugs😊😊😊
@@Knittyneeds thank you! It was a longer gap than I’d intended between the two series, but life just gets in the way sometimes!
I always love your tutorials as they are so clear, well filmed and no nonsense and as a seasoned knitter, a joy to watch. Thank you ❤
Very useful Sally. Thank you
Your videos could be more factual and shorter
thank you. 😊
Can you share how to create cards from the motifs in the book?
It is explained in the video. I mark the pattern or motif that I want to punch on the card using the marker pen, then punch it out.
I mean thats way longer than latchooking them because youre doing the same one off and also dragging the carriage back and forth.
@@serendipidus8482 I did say it’s not quick! But it’s another option.
@@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts you actually said it doesn't take any longer than latchooking. That's why I commented that it is longer.
Hello Sally please please please will you tell me why the yarn gets tangled in brushes. I have got plastic but brushes protrude slightly. I am a new machine knitter and have had machine for a few weeks. Thank you for any help you give
Honestly? it’s a beginner thing and will go away as you improve. Your overhead tension could be slightly off so that the yarn slackens off then catches, your yarn could be a bit fluffy, the brushes could have a wonky bristle or two. Try to get into the habit of holding the yarn above the carriage just as you start to knit the row, to stop it looping. You can also use the yarn separators (Silver Reed only) which will keep the yarn travelling through the arm instead of underneath it.
should I use ravel cord instead of waste yarn? why or why not? thank you!
You could, but you don’t need to. Ravel cord is useful in separating two sections of knitting without unravelling one of them. I use it mostly on the bottom end of the work, as unravelling knitting from the bottom up doesn’t work.
Hi Sally. I'm been follow following your tutorials for punchcards, tensions etc. Ive brought a KL 116 knit leader for my chunky machine kh260. Can you help as i haven't got the 1-24 gauge rulers for the machine. 😢 Any help would be welcome xx
Sorry Joan, I don’t use Brother machines and never use a knitleader. If you’re in the U.K. try contacting Andrea at Andee Knits as she carries stock of a lot of spares
Thank you Sally
Grand! Thanks.
Hi. Is this the finest size available? Can this be used with the Royal Loom weaving attachment?
Hi, no it’s not the finest gauge. This is a standard gauge machine with 4.5mm needle spacing, and this is the gauge you need for the Loom attachment. There used to be a fine gauge manufactured, 3.6mm but they are quite rare and sought after.
where do you get the 10 cm. i have knit exactly as you describe in another video and my measurements is exactly like yours. but i don't understand the 10 cm part because if i measure my 'swatch it gives me 14x15 cm?
Don’t measure your swatch with a ruler! The green scale calculates the EQUIVALENT number of stitches and rows per 10cm. But that’s not the number of rows and stitches that you knitted so of course it won’t measure 10x10cm.
Thank you! I just had 450 rows unravel. I wish I could have found this video before I took it off. Obviously I’m a complete rookie
Great video Sally! Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much!
C'est systématiquement la méthode que j'utilise après en avoir essayé plusieurs.. A mon avis, c'est la plus simple et la plus sûre... Pour les diminutions, comme vous l'avez précisé, je retire le premier rang de fil principal après les diminutions car je trouve que les vides des aiguilles manquantes se voient trop 🤭... donc je détricote ce premier rang sans problème et je reprends le tricot. 😇 Pour les augmentations je fais exactement comme vous Un grand merci pour cette démonstration très claire 🥰
Anyone know what could be causing dropped stitches on a LK150. Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
Sometimes you can get dropped stitches if one of your latches is closed when the carriage goes across, you can also get them when you have a break in your yarn, or you have some static when using synthetic yarns. Another reason can be your weights, if you have too much, or too little weight your stitches can drop, especially at the edges. I start with claw weights at the edges and every few inches along the bottom and move them after about 2-3 inches of knitting has been done. I hope this helps you a bit.
Is it in the same place? If so, could be a damaged needle. If random, could be insufficient weight
Thank you so much! This was definitely a big help!!
Thank you!
Sally do you do any videos on how to use a KR11 knit radar for the lk-150 it would be great because you explain so so clearly thank you x x
Sorry Margaret, I don’t ever use a Knitradar.
@@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts thanks for replying x x
Это действительно лучшее видео по вязанию мотива. Спасибо.
Thankyou for this simple and clear video Sally!
20 years ago I spent most of the time only doing Knitweave because it is so beautiful. I learnt from Audrey Palmer who has unfortunately passed away . She wrote a very comprehensive book called Create with Knitweave and if one is lucky her books are sometimes available. Once set up knitweaving can be fast as the weft yarn is threaded through the tension guide , so no weaving off the floor. . Knitweave stretches sideways but is firm in the length eg skirts don’t dip but give around the hips. Most of her designs are created sideways on the machine. The effects are fabulous.
Thanx for an amazing informative video. I have my mom's Empisal model 260K . is there any punch cards available for this model and where do you buy blank punch cards? I would really appreciate any information regarding the punch cards
I believe this is a standard gauge machine, so any Silver Reed (now the global name for Empisal/Knitmaster, Singer and Studio) 24 stitch punchcards will work on it. You can also use other Brands such as Brother with the exception of lace. Just remember the start number is marked differently. Any machine dealer should have blank cards, you can also get them from EBay and Amazon.
This is the first time I have understood wrapping and short row. You are an excellent teacher, thanks very much.
Thank you.
I'm in the US. What is the US equivalent of "white spirit"? Rubbing alcohol? Isopropyl alcohol?
White Spirit in the UK is used as a paint thinner for traditional oil-based paints and is also used for cleaning paint brushes and rollers when used for this paint type. It is also sold here by the name of "turps substitute", "turps" being a contraction of gum turpentine. I think this is called "mineral spirit(s)" in Canada and the United States. It is definitely not propanone (aka "acetone") or propan-2-ol (aka "iso", "iso-propyl alcohol" which I believe you call "rubbing alcohol"). It also is not the thinners used for cellulose paint or spray gun cleaning, known as "cellulose thinners" in the UK.
That was very very helpful. Thank you!
Grazie Sally sei bravissima, sai spiegare molto bene e semplicemente tutti i passaggi no Ei tuoi video. ❤
Please can you help Sally. When I first started knitting I didn't put the yarn in the top tension properly and I could knit a lot of rows this way. Now I have correctly put tension right the carriage gets stuck a lot. Why is this? Thank you
Thank you so much Sally for explaining everything so well. I've had weeks of untangling yarns
Thank you for such good videos, I learn so much from watching them
I love your videos ♥
Where exactly do I find a copy of the tension sheet for different rulers?
it is available via Facebook on the Machine Knitting Beginners and Returners Circle
@@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts Thank you.
Hi. Thank you for the information. Where do I buy a new sponge bar? I have a singer 580. Its nearly the same as your machine. Could you send a link to buy a new sponge bar please. Regards Carol
It depends where you are located.
@@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts Victoria Australia 😄
@@carolcook8029 sorry, I’m not familiar with suppliers in Australia. Try googling for a Silver Reed supplier - there is someone called Susan Glaus who supplies parts. Or EBay.
@sallybutcherskalamundakrafts 🤣 okay thank you 😊
Essa cartela de losangos é o meu terror! Não transfere um ponto aqui e ali, e o desenho nunca sai perfeito
Thank you. It is very interesting. I wish I could get started instead of it tangling underneath. Can't wait to get started
How do you tension the carriage opening ? Thank you
You don’t. The yarn is held in tension by the overhead mast. You need to adjust the dial on the mast assembly so that the yarn is held in a shallow arc, like a D on its side.
Thank you! Can you pls make a video on how to save dropped stitches? I’ve gotten into some right messes before
