  • JUKI KE-1200 knitting machine

    JUKI KE-1200 knitting machine

    JUKI KE-1200 is a standard-gauge knitting machine with punch card capabilities. It has 200 needles, 4.5 mm apart (thus, standard gauge). I have this machine in my collection and am excited to try it in the future. The JUKI KE-1200 knitting machine uses punch cards (or, as they are called in the manual, “memory cards”)…

  • 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…

  • Brother KA-8300 transfer carriage

    I have a Brother KA8300 transfer carriage in my collection and will post pictures soon. It is identical to the KnitKing RKTC transfer carriage, about which I already wrote a detailed post. Check it out while I am in the process of adding more info to this post.

  • 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…
