  • JUKI KE-1200 knitting machine

    JUKI KE-1200 knitting machine

    JUKI KE-1200 is a standard-gauge knitting machine with punch card capabilities. These cards are called ” memory cards ” in the manual (more below). The manual describes that the needle selection can be done by the pushbuttons as well as by memory cards. It has 200 needles, 4.5 mm apart (thus, standard gauge). I have…

  • Studio SRP20 ribbing attachment

    Studio SRP20 ribbing attachment

    Studio SRP20 ribber fits a vast majority of Silver Reed/Silver/Studio/Riccar/Empisal Kitmaster/Singer knitting machines with needles 4.5 mm apart and punchcard-based patterning capabilities. Studio SRP20 fits such a huge variety of knitting machines that it feels like it fits them all. Well, if your machine is manual-only or has turn-knob patterning capabilities, check first if SRP20…

  • Studio Bulky Ten, S-140 knitting machine

    It is hard to find ANY information on this unicorn. I stumbled onto a couple of pictures. There is a manual online, suggesting that the gauge for this machine is 10 mm and that it operates identically to the Studio SK120. Stay tuned for more info!

  • Studio SR303 ribbing attachment

    Studio SR303 ribber fits turn-knob Singer/Studio/Silver/Silver Reed/Empisal Knitmaster/Riccar standard-gauge knitting machines. It is very similar to Studio SR302, about which I wrote a detailed post already. Thus, refer to it while I research more info on Studio SR303 ribber.

  • Mitsubishi Color 8 MH700R

    Mitsubishi Color 8 MH700R

    Mitsubish Color 8 MH700R knitting machine at first glance looks like its earlier counter parts, Mitisubishi Color 7 MH700 and Mitsubishi Color 7 700B models. I see some minor differences but need to figure out how real/critical they are. Stay tune as I discover these details with confidence and enjoy the pictures below. For now,…

  • Super Speed SH-20 knitting machine

    Super Speed SH-20 knitting machine

    Super Speed SH20 machine is very likely a standard-gauge knitting machine, also resembling one of the Mitsubishi models: its color combination is closest to the Mitsubishi MH-15, but the MH-16 has similar functionality. Despite differences in color, I do see the most technical/engineering similarities with the Mitsubishi MH20. Thus, refer to that post for additional…

  • Super Speed Color A knitting machine

    Super Speed Color A knitting machine

    Super Speed Color A machine has an eight-pushbutton patterning mechanism. It looks very similar to Mitsubishi Color 7 MH-700 and Mitsubishi Color 7 MH-700B machines (read those detailed posts). Such striking similarity makes me think that Super Speed is a clone of Mitsubishi machines. Super Speed Color A is a standard-gauge machine. Stay tuned, as…

  • Knit Max Home Knitter knitting machine

    Knit Max Home Knitter knitting machine

    KnitMax Home knitter knitting machine is pretty unique and I have not seen any other model of any maker looking similarly. It looks like a basic/manual only knitting machine. But by looking at the carriage and comparing with later models, this machine might have some turn knob capabilities of needle selection on the carriage. Stay…

  • Knit-max Hand Knitter Double

    Knit-Max Double is a mystery machine that I recently became aware of. Besides being a double-bed, I can’t figure out much about it. It looks standard gauge and probably has just manual capabilities of patterning and stitch manipulation. Stay tuned!

  • Art Knitter Synchro Hi-matic DX-3000 knitting machine

    Wow, quite a name! Synchro Hi-matic!! So… Art Knitter DX-3000 is very likely a standard-gauge knitting machine with an 8-push-button mechanism. The only difference I see from the earlier model, DX-2000, is the markings on the pushbuttons. I agree that when the buttons are simply numbered as 1 through 8, it is hard to remember…

  • A.R.S. Amoretto MT-3 knitting machine

    A.R.S. Amoretto MT-3 knitting machine

    ARS Amoretti MT-3 machine is a vintage beauty. It is very likely a standard-gauge machine. It is similar to its younger sisters (ARS Amoretto MT-4, ARS Amoretto MT-5, and ARS Amoretto Super 8). The most similarities are with the ARS Amoretto MT-2 model. Refer to the corresponding posts, in which I described the features in…
