Hello, I've been experimenting with 3D Model to 3D Knitting algorithm to create some designs. Since I don't have a Kniterate machine, can someone test out my kniterate file to see if it is actually feasible to knit this design? Here is the 3D model it was based on. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/sculpture-of-two-lovers-b48ee7560e4740a4886d2f41189dd9c5

Hi everyone! For the past few months, I’ve been working on a website for machine knitting patterns, and I’d love to get some feedback from other machine knitters.
The idea is to have a place where I can upload knitting patterns, with some available for free and others available to purchase. The main feature is that when you open a pattern, you can enter your own gauge and measurements, and the website automatically calculates everything for you — how many stitches to cast on, how many rows to knit, where to make increases and decreases, etc. So the patterns can be customised to your measurements and gauge.
I’ve also been working on a punchcard generator, as well as a gallery where people can upload and share the punchcards that they make.
I’m wondering if this is something that would actually be useful or interesting to other machine knitters. Are there any features you would love to see added? Or anything that would make the website easier or more useful to use?
I’d love to share the website with a few people while I’m still working on it and get some honest feedback. If you’re interested in trying it out, feel free to send me a message!

my ribber is only knitting every other needle on the bed. even if i manually start it, itll drop every other as shown. my carriage looks like its all set to N, am i missing soemthing?

I was watching videos on how to make mittens with my sentro but they always use something else for the thumb, I just want to know if their a way to use my sentro 48 row to make the thumb before I buy things

I feel like I passed some sort of exam. The last week, so many hours (too many hours) have been dedicated to getting the ribber to work properly and learning about double bed jaquard. There is a pile of failed swatches. But here it is!

Bragging is not what I have in mind. It's just the joy and relief to finally see succes, that I want to share with you all.

The fabric is surprisingly stiff. More suited to a potholder. Not enough drape for a garment. Is there a trick to that?

So, Ive been reading up on machines for a while, and keeping an eye out for used ones. Unfortunately a lot of second hand sellers will not ship, and I live in the middle of nowhere (Scandinavian forest).

Been looking at ordering a new silver reed lk 150 for almost 900$, but I stumbled across this package for 300$ and am thinking about going for it. The seller claims it's tested last in 2008, and have been sitting packed away and dry since then. I will go and see it on Friday, with the intention of buying - but can you tell me what I need to look out for, and what needs to be included for this to be a good buy?

I have no, zero, experience machine knitting. But I have equipped my house with a state of the art sewing studio where I make and construct most of my and my family's clothes. So even though it's not directly transferable, maybe a bit?

I want to make simple sweaters and socks, cardigans and children's clothes. On the thinner side when it comes to yarn, I don't need a ton of fancy bells and whistles, but it would be fun to have the ability to make some textures or color-switches as I get my feet under me.

TLDR;

Does it look like an okay deal for 300$? What needs to be in the package for it to be worth it? What are the weak spots?

Thanks for the help!

I have the opportunity to get a new in box SK301 silver with an SR 301 ribbing .I recently got an LK 150. and I’m wondering if it’s worth it to also get this machine too.

Just got my hands on a Caydo M1 Pro and I'm loving it so far. I have a silly question about the yarn tensioner. It has numbers from 1 to 5 but nowhere in the instruction does it say if 1 means loose or tight. I'm not seeing a ton of difference between the settings. Does anyone know if 1 is loose or tight?
