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.
How does one cast on with two threads when only one cone is in use
She bought a recent copy of MKM and was so interested in the articles that she’s dug out her Brother 830. It’s some years since she’s done any knitting and if you think you can help, drop us a line and we’ll put you in touch.
We have been emptying my mother-in-laws house and she house a number of knitting machines and lots of accessories. Is there a market for them or if not perhaps charities or colleges we could donate them too. It seems a dreadful waste just to take them to the tip. I would be most grateful for any advice.
I’m disabled so any thing I don’t have to pay a lot for will be a help.
Thank you so much.

Please could you let me know if there is a Machine Knitting club in Gt Yarmouth/Gorleston area for beginners
Thanks
I saw a picture of Nina’s book No. 2 and like the knitted V neck longline jumper on the front cover. Does anyone know where I can get a pattern for this? Would the pattern be in the book?
Nina was wearing this design at the Nottingham Show this weekend and it looked fabulous! She sells the pattern and you can contact her at PO Box 32503 London W3 8GD. Drop her a line now and she’ll let you have full details.
Specifically, a Toyota 901 sponge bar – can anyone help please?
Thanks
Please contact either Heathercraft Metropolitan Undy Yarncrafts or Uppingham Yarns because all of them can supply a sponge bar to fit your Toyota machine. They all welcome personal shoppers or offer mail order. Don’t forget to mention the make and model number when ordering.
They have an Ebay shop and used to stock Toyota spares at one time.
Knitmaster sponge bars are the same width as the one from the Toyota 901 so you could try using one of those instead.
Don’t buy one for a Brother machine as they are too wide.
We usually buy ours at Knitting Machine shows – they are usually cheaper at the shows and it saves on postage costs.
I am looking for a pattern of a short sleeved jumper published in back copy of MKM June 2006 issue 101.
The jumper was in a dark plum colour,with flowers embroidered here and there. It was sent in by Linda Ireton who is a member of the Sweatshop Knitting Club based in Bispham. I would be very greatful for any positive replys.
Thanks.
Copies of the June 2006 issue of MKM are still available and the cost is £2.50 plus 65p towards p&p. Just e-mail or call Anne on 01628-783080 and we can send you a copy.
I have a super old Passap Automatic Knitting machine, (manufactured in 1958) with ribber which is missing the stripper which screws onto the front of the lock (carriage) and which enables one to use the single bed on its own.
Many thanks
Please contact Metropolitan because they have an excellent selection of spares for most Passap machines. They can also let you have a free catalogue of all machines and accessories. Call them on 01270-628414 or e-mail metromachineknit@btconnect.com
Hope that helps – if you have April’s copy of mkm contact details are on page 11.
