I have recently purchased a second hand knitmaster 700. Unfortunatly it is missing the original punchcards, point cams and magic cams.I have looked on the web, but find it confusing.Can anyone point me to a supplier of these items?
Hi Anne
I sent a letter you printed in the February magazine asking if any of your readers came from the Dewsbury area of West Yorkshire. June got in touch and I replied to her letter in late November 09. She was returning to machine knitting after about 20 years and when she opened her Brother knitting machine 850 (I think), it was a bit rusty so she wanted help to clean it.
Dear Anne
Can you believe that having briefly worked for Jones+Brother as a demonstrator I’m back to square one? I also now live in Brittany in France where I finally have a room to myself for all of my crafting desires.
Dear Anne
I’m a subscriber to your magazine and live in Australia. I used to buy most of the other magazines also and have quite a vast array of patterns. However when I was asked for a lacy bed jacket for a woman with cancer, I couldn’t find one anywhere. Would you be able to locate one in your files? Hope you can oblige and please keep your magazine going!
Yours sincerely, Brenda Jones
As fast as the arthritis in my left shoulder starts to improve, I get a frozen shoulder and torn muscle on the right, so for now there’s no knitting machine! Consequently, I am delighted when MKM arrives and I can sit down with a cuppa and browse! With my forearm supported on the desk, I can also browse the Net. It’s mostly hand-knitting but interesting. One site is Knitting Daily, which has recently come up with what it calls a (moebius) snood, a lacy scarf with a single twist before stitching the cast-on to the cast-off edge, making a circle with a twist. When you put it over your head, it hangs in a neat fold in front.
