Knitting Machine
I've been a hand knitter for a year, and I just accuried a Brother
KH-840 Knitting Machine. (Pictu http://goodeys.tripod.com/sitebuilde...other840-i.jpg) I have NO CLUE how to use it. I know how to assemble it from the book, but I can't cast on or anything. Does anyone know a good video I can use to learn? free would be nice, too. |

I have to relearn how to use it everytime I set it up (which, granted, is rarely). I managed to learn to cast on from the instruction book that came with it (though it's always been a hit and miss operation at the best of times). There are different methods and I'd recommend a "manual" approach to get started with. Your local library may still have some books on machine knitting that can help. I have a very general one that lists instructions for all kinds of machines. This is not for your specific machine but may help: http://www.clearwaterknits.com/tutorial/tutorial.html Good luck! VP |

Dillion (and anyone else who may be interested),
If you go to the Brother site in Canada, you can download a digital copy of the manual for your machine. It may not be a perfect copy, but it could help you get started. ftp://ftp.brother.ca/ENGLISH/KNITTINGMACHINE/ Happy knitting. Carey in MA "Dillon" wrote in message oups.com...
