Just found this video, I bought my Brother machine over 40 years ago, most of the time it had been in the storage, I am glad I found this video I'll give it another go thanks for sharing.
Fantastic video digitization from a well-preserved VHS. I'm having an all-retro experience using an analogous machine. A new sponge on the press bar and I'm ready to go. I used two layers of weatherstripping to make 1 CM high and left the peel-off, cellophane-laminated paper on it. Working greatly.
Actually there are four guages of knitting machines: Fine, standard, mid-guage and bulky. Fine is not something you see often. Standard, mid-guage and bulky are common. I am partial to the mid-guage & bulky machines.
Ella Uche I used to machine knit many years ago and really loved it, however my circumstances changed, I had a handicapped daughter who required most of my time - so I sold my machine. I have recently bought a second hand machine on eBay and I must tell you how glad I was to watch your video and rekindle my knowledge of machine knitting. The video was very explicit, spoken clearly by someone who I could understand perfectly, I could almost feel the machine transfer tools in my hand again as I watched! Can you tell me where I can get machine knitting patterns from? I gave all of mine away when I sold the machine. Thank you so much.
absolutely GREAT! ...I can only buy a secondhand/used machine in South Africa --can you advise me on what to look at on the machine to make sure it is in good condition?
And I thought my Serger was intimidating. If I would go for a knitting machine, I would want a fine gauge machine. I want to do Barbie size cardigans. Do they come in a really small size?
I don't have one of these machines and I don't knit apart from doing it for 6 months as a kid about 45 years ago but found you're video very interesting
Not mentioned completely, but: Knit a gauge swatch, and don't forget to block it! Yeah, she left out blocking; merely, resting. No. Block it, then measure it. Then you'll really know.
hi Ella.. there are a few free video on youtube.. for example Diana Sullivan, She show how to make for Child sweater. Try out that first. take that for sample and measure your adult size do it the same. u can find out on youtube, how to calculate to your size too.
Lightanddarker the titles and video effects look like they would have been made on early Amigas, so I’d definitely say mid eighties. Too far into the seventies, there didn’t exist VCRs, so videos like this for home consumption wouldn’t have existed either. This is also pretty clearly from the UK, not the US, and the UK got VCRs a little later.

So thankful to see this. We lost ours in our fire. The water to put out the fire destroyed ours. Now to find an affordable replacement with a ribber.
This video is the handbook for those looking at machine knitting! Thank you so much for posting it. Tremendous help!
Millions of thanks! I've been looking into machine knitting for over 10 years, and this video has been the most helpful of all!

Love the mitten pattern you showed all done on the machine. Thank you! Much easier than other methods I'd tried for the thumb.
Thanks for putting this up - very helpful. Got a machine a while ago but have been too scared to try it! I think I'll have a go now.
elfy60 r machine hasn't been used in over a year you need a replacement sponge bar and some oiling first.
Yes thanks - will do that.wmpdd33
Takes me right back to the 80's!😱

Very helpful video 👍
OMG I think this is the same video that got my mom to buy a Knitting Machine in the 80s
I think I'll stay with the hand knitting.
Audrey Lindsey Lol. It's like learning a whole new hobby
absolutely GREAT! ...I can only buy a secondhand/used machine in South Africa --can you advise me on what to look at on the machine to make sure it is in good condition?
She said it was simple. Didn't seem simple to me. Very interesting, though
And I thought my Serger was intimidating. If I would go for a knitting machine, I would want a fine gauge machine. I want to do Barbie size cardigans. Do they come in a really small size?
Where can I buy this wonderful machine?
wow - first time watching - was curious -- fascinating to say the least
I don't have one of these machines and I don't knit apart from doing it for 6 months as a kid about 45 years ago but found you're video very interesting
Does anybody know where I can find more of these video's? It is really helpful :)
Nosso trabalho é show
What about the Passap? Is it covered in the comparison? Is it really the Cadillac of knitting machines?
Gracias, muy ilustrativo. He aprendido bastante. Thank you very much. I learned so much.

Pena que no Brasil não se dá o devido valor, e a gente tem mujitas dificuldades pra ter uma maquina desta marca. Parabéns pela video aula.
Ivanete, você trabalha com máquinas de tricô? Eu tenho 3 dessas máquinas, todas compradas naquela época! Elas são ótimas!

DreamingOf Freedom this video dates from the late 70s, early 80s.
Very helpful.
Ah. The 80s.

Hi Ella - I'm sorry I'm not actually a knitter - just put this online for a friend - afraid you'll have to ask elsewhere!
hi Ella.. there are a few free video on youtube.. for example Diana Sullivan, She show how to make for Child sweater. Try out that first. take that for sample and measure your adult size do it the same. u can find out on youtube, how to calculate to your size too.
What year is the original video from?
+Arelia Esthela Dominguez Looks a lot like late 60's to 70's, do you think??
Diane Soper Arelia Esthela Dominguez I'm sorry I don't know the date, but from the fashion and especially the hair I'd say it was definitely 80s

It is usually an old sponge bar. Replacement videos are online.

Gee, by the time you finish setting up (and learn how to), you could have knitted your garment by hand instead.
