I use to machine knit 30-40 years ago and now I have time I bought a secod hand Jones KH588, with the 8 push button patterning. I would love to write to someone who uses a similar machine.
Thanks
Janet

Could anyone please help me as I am having trouble understanding my manual as how to knit 5X5 rib. I have no trouble doing ordinary 1X1 rib or 2X2 rib but doing this type of rib is leaving me really frustrated…
Many thanks Jane
I just got my Knitmaster Zippy 90 back after some years in a friends loft. The sponge bar looks to be just the sponge part with no metal bar. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement. I am keen to start using it again now I have retired. The Zippy 90 is a light weight chunky machine with a plastic bed and not full size having fewer needles.
Best wishes

I have a problem with the Electronic pattern reading. I fitted a new sponge bar and gave it a good clean. Plain knit is no problems but it patterns in sections not right across the bed and not always in the same place. I am certain this is an ELECTRONIC problem. can anyone tell me where I could get this repaired. Devon or Cornwall would be most convenient.
Hope this helps.

Hello everyone-what sort of motor I will need? or I will be able to use Brother KE 100 motor drive…
Thank you.
Can someone please explain how I use the holding position on the Silver Reed. I thought I needed to bring the relevant needles all the way out, but when I did that the carriage knitted the stitches back in!
You still have to put the required needles to UWP BUT then you have to set the Russel levers so that the KM does not knit them back. these are the 2 markers at the front of the carriage above the fabric presser. They are marked l and ll. l holds all UWP needles and ll knits all needles back.
Your “Russel Levers” are on the carriage just above the arm at the front right and left.
Hope this helps

I have purchased a Brother Knitting Machine and I am looking for a club around the Exeter, Devon area to learn how to master this machine. I am not having much luck at present.
Please help.

I have just started with a second hand Brother knitting machine and cannot get it to work.
I have never done any knitting before, and I am looking for a club in the Honiton, Taunton area of Devon.
Can anyone help me to find a machine knitting club anywhere in Leicestershire, or alternatively put me in touch with other machine knitters in the same area that might be interested in forming a club of our own as I would like to share my hobby with others of like mind.
I live in Loughborough in Leicestershire but don’t mind traveling short distances with my machine if it is neccesary.
Hope that helps – if you have April’s copy of mkm contact details are on page 11.
