I recently bought a Brother KH965i with KR850 ribber and I'll be going to Japan in a few months. I've been trying to find accessories in the US (color changer, intarsia carriage, knitleader, brotherlink, garter carriage when I dream big, etc.) but I'm finding them to be rare and/or expensive. It occurred to me that as a Japanese machine things may be easier to find there. If you live in or have traveled to Japan, is that the case? Any recommendations?

Hi all,

I've just purchased a Toyota Simulknit K80 but it doesn't have the triangle cams. My plan is to try and 3D print some replacements. Is there anyone here who has this device and would be willing to send me some photos of the cams with measurements?

Once I've got a design functioning, I'd be happy to share the print file.

If you have a different model Simulknit, feel free to get in touch too!

so a Caydo electric circular machine turned up for me to test out and i have zero machine knitting experience, i'm a hand knitter. before i open the box and get myself in a tangle, what would you tell a total beginner starting on one of these? the yarn weight that behaves best, the rookie mistakes to skip, a first project that isn't going to end in tears. i've already picked up from a few kind people that these like DK or aran and to work from a cake not a skein, so any more of that kind of wisdom would be gold. thank you 🙏

I am interested in learning more about hand manipulating stitches on my machines. Is there a resource that covers recreating stitches like double seed, box stitch, etc.? The books I own don't have the exact info I am looking for, and I am beginning to think it isn't really possible.
