​Hi everyone!

​Wanted to share one of my latest creations knitted on my LK150 machine. It’s a super fluffy and cozy black balaclava made with premium soft yarn (angora blend).

​It fits so comfortably around the face and neck without being tight, and the texture turned out amazingly warm and light!

​Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback from fellow knitters! 😊

​Hi everyone!

​Excited to share my latest machine-knitted project — a chunky, ultra-cozy turtleneck sweater in a rich royal blue shade.

​I used a textured rib pattern with raglan sleeve shaping for a comfortable, classic fit and a high double collar. Made with soft, premium yarn that gives it a warm yet lightweight drape.

​Would love to hear your feedback from fellow knitters and craft lovers

Patterns Looking for testers

Hello, I’ve recently launched a website for my own machine knitting patterns, where you can customize them based on your own gauge and measurements.
Since the website is still new and this is my first time doing something like this, I’m looking for people who’d be willing to test it out and give me some feedback. I’d love to hear from both experienced machine knitters and beginners.
I’ve attached some examples of the patterns currently available.
To clarify, these are all patterns I’ve made myself, the videos, photos and punchcards on the website are all made by me.
If anyone’s interested in trying it out, let me know in the comments and I’ll send you the link
I’d really appreciate any help or feedback :)

Also this is a continuation of my previous post from 10 days ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineKnitting/s/tICS3UDJj4

I made a swatch with two different tensions . I experimented with a simple eyelet too. And my stitches are jagged they are going on zig zag shapes. Yarn is a cone wound yarn I got from Temu. I saw the reviews of peoples samples and they looked fine. Any advice?

Help! Brother KH260 missing button spring

Long story short, I lost one of the tension/compression springs that goes with the buttons on the cartridge. Is my only option to replace the whole button unit just because of the one spring I lost?

Help! Ribber (KR850) Setting Plates Swivel/Movement

4 Upvotes

When the ribber is up as high as it will go, I push a carriage across and the ribber moves half a centimeter. The setting plates swivel left and right when the ribber is set to be right against the main bed.

Is this swivel movement supposed to happen?

Ultimately, I need to get the ribber to stop shifting when a carriage goes across. The parts that connect to the main bed are fine, the legs are clamped to the table, all the screws are tightened.

The big knob at the bottom left to shift the ribber left/right a needle space can also be turned micro movements between each click. Maybe that is the issue...?

Thank you in advance for the help.
