Thank heavens I just found you on utube. Please continue giving lessons. I learned 35 years ago on the Knit King standard and bulky machines. Life happened and both machines went into storage. I am very much interested in relearning every thing I have forgotten and am very grateful for finding you. I am a very slow hand knitter so really need to go back to machine knitting if I ever want to finish a project in a timely manner. Thank you for helping all these beginners.
This is great! I actually recently bought and restored an LK300 (via ebay Japan.) There is so little about this type of carriage (particularly aat this gauge.)
I was a little surprised when I got my LK 300 CeCe. The bed is exactly the same as the LK 150, but the carriage is like a blend of the LK 100 and LK 150. I can use all of the LK 150 carriages and parts on it, except for the yarn mast. There is a cut-out in the bed where the little square piece that holds the yarn mast connects. If you are able to find that piece, you could even add the LK 150 mast and upper tension if you wanted to. Of course, the yarn mast is not necessary in order to use the intarsia carriage and that's a great addition.
@irenewoods8480 I have also just acquired a Singer 700. I'm knitting a manual tuck stitch top on the LK300; they are placed on the two sides of a work bench. I turned the mast around on the 700, and it's working terrifically to feed yarn down to the LK300 carriage, more like the function of the LK150 mast. I'm trying to be "disciplined" to not over-buy accessories. (Somehow an entire 700 machine was a better idea than the parts for an LK150 mast? 😂)
Thank you, Irene. Will you please teach a lesson on how to change the yarn for making multiple colors in a garment. I am new to machine knitting. Your videos are very easy to follow. Please keep these lessons going.
I will be making a video on changing colors in the next lesson. We are going to make a hat with stripes and a hemmed brim, so will be using the transfer tool as well.
