- Emma and I have a Toyota knitting machine from the 1970's! We have no idea what we're doing, but we are determined to learn.

I can only laugh!!!!! Because I'm sitting here, trying to warp my head around my knitting machine too. I thought it will go quick quick and voilà I have knitted a jersey lol. Sharing your experiences give me comfort that I'm not alone. I'm sure we will crack this, and by trial and error we will find our rhythm. Send you much love from heart to both your hearts
I really loved the totally unprepared and unprofessional nature of your video. That was literally me trying to set up my machine. It is nice to know there are other people in the world muddling through and working things out. I loved it and it really has helped me
Unprofessional and unprepared basically describes my life. My toxic trait is that I believed my parents when they said I could do anything I put my mind to.
Finally a tutorial I can follow! I scored a Brother KH840 at a thrift shop last week. (Of course it didn't have the manual). I found a manual online but have still been so confused over the whole thing. I want to thank yall from the bottom of my heart for the instructions in terms I can understand 🥰 sending love and good vibes from central Florida!
You two are adorable 😍. This video wasn't what I was looking for but I stayed to watch you two anyways
You two crack me up. Oh, and I knitted a whole sweater while watching you set up that machine (we both know I'm lying),
I had 3hr of footage to edit down!! I bet I could make a sweater in that amount of time.
I actually acquired a knitting machine from my great aunt after she passed away. This video has encouraged me to open it up again and give it a shot. Thanks 👍😊
Best of luck with your new machine!
lol love watching you girls :) I'm SOOOO glad to see I wasn't the only person who made the same similar mistakes BUT I gave up hopefully you can help me learn to love my machine again .
Very nice Mechanism for knitting
Toyota ?!?!?!?! 👍🏻♥️
There was actually another attachment too, but i couldn't get it😓 looks so fun, I wanna try it when the plague is over 💋🥰
PS: i expect longstocking hats and leg warmers for Christmas
Dang, that was probably a lace carriage. You definitely get to try it when the plague is over!
you 2 are great
I want one!
I like your dedication. I hope you are successful on your journey
Thank you! It's definitely been a challenge.
@@kinsey4309 what kinda stuff you make?
Mostly I have made a mess. We have come to the conclusion that the knitting machine needs all the hooks cleaned before we can make major projects.
@@kinsey4309 that's crazy🤦 and I was just about to get one frfr. I just learned how to knit and it really take sooooo long😭 and I saw those circle ones but I saw this lady using one of these on here and I wanted one because it makes straight knits. These are expensive though and hard to find and it looks like alot of small parts and stuff you gotta do. It's so hard to find new ones for a price under a thousand. So I didn't wanna rush and get one but I know it's well worth it though, obviously once u learn to use it and what not. Because I sew and do upholstry. I'm new to knitting but it's really useful because it's stretchy. I hope I get one soon🤞
Second hand ones are common on eBay and other resale sites. Its definitely a different beast than hand knitting. Im looking into one of the round ones too!
Thank you I have second hand Empisal Model 321 its too hard to knitt .I never do knitting its my first time
It provides needs a new sponge bar and a good cleaning. I would also recommend you practice basic hand knitting to get more familiar with what stitches should look like. Best of luck!!
Love c ontnwe❤
I have everything set up correctly, but my carrier won't knit. What are some troubleshooting things i can try. Please....i want to start knitting😊
It's a vintage Brother kh551
I would need more information on what happens when you try to knit.
I have empisal kh 710 when knitting it's just knit going to left when it has to go back to right it removes all the stitches don't know what to do please help
That sounds like it could be a setting on the shuttle/carriage. You may need to manually cast on to get it started if its not working. I have a kh710 manual PDF if you need it!
do you have a pattern for lap blankets. i am making them for the hospice patient. thank you janice
I don't have any specific patterns since I don't have cards for my machine. If you have a knitting machine that's fully functional you can buy pattern cards online to make really cool blankets. I like some of the tuck stitch patterns myself.
♥️
I think you need to do every other needle
Where can I buy this?
Your best bet is eBay or Craigslist, this particular machine hasn't been made for decades. There are some new ones you can but but they are very expensive.
You can visit TheJapaneseMachines shop on etsy to purchase.
do you have any recommendations for machines with pretty versatile capabilities?
Most of them are really versatile! Having a machine with a ribber really makes it more versatile than those that dont.
I've just spent hours following all the instructions and I cant get it to cast on :( it does the right to left row and then nothing else catches :/
Double check the settings on the carriage and also make sure you have enough weight so it doesn't pop off. (Sorry if you've already checked this)
Best of Luck!!
@@kinsey4309 Thanks for your reply, I checked my sponge bar and discovered it was obliterated 😅 I'm hoping that was the problem!
Same as mine am really struggling
@@trueloventombi6221 hi, my actual problem turned out to be some parts inside the carriage that should be free to move were seized up with the oil that had gone sticky or something. I fixed this by holding a hair dryer over those parts to heat up the oil and it loosened and suddenly worked perfectly! Try taking the bottom off your carriage, I think you'll need a screwdriver, and then just run the hairdryer over all of it just incase. Might not be your problem but worth a try!
Did you sort out how to stop yr scarf rolling up?
We would need to wet block it. There doesn't seem to be a way to get a straight knit not to roll.
Sadly I'm still struggling and I think ..I think I might have destroyed most of the needles 😭
Oh no! How?!
