Lace carriage from Brother KH910 knitting machine
Typical for Brother knitting machines, there is no model number written on the lace carriage, but we can recognize the lace carriage from the KH910 knitting machine by the light brown/cream color combo, matching the general color scheme of the Brother KH910 knitting machine. This carriage is more complex than the lace carriages for its…

Lace carriage for KH830 knitting machine
There is no model number written on the lace carriage, but it can be recognized by its square-ish look and brownish color to match the general color scheme of the Brother KH830 knitting machine. It is obviously a bit more complex than the lace carriages for its older sisters, lace carriages for pushbutton machines. There…

Brother KH365 knitting machine
Brother KH365 is a plastic needlebed dual gauge knitting machine. It has exchangeable needlebed sections with the distances between grooves for needles either 4.5 mm or 9 mm. However, the needles are the same. I have not had a chance to work on a convertible dual-gauge machine like this, but I can imagine that despite…

Brother KH701 knitting machine
Brother KH701 was a pleasant surprise for me. I thought by now I’d know everything about 8-pushbutton machines but yet I discovered Brother KH701. Its deep blue, vibrant color makes it stand out among already colorful Brother 8-pushbutton machines. I already described in detail the features of 8-pushbutton machines in other posts. Brother KH701 is…

Brother KG88II carter carriage
Brother garter carriages are the only add-on carriages that works on their own: once plugged-in, it can knit alternating purl and knit stitches. Only Brother Co. manufactured such carriages. When facing the fabric while it is on the machine, we typically see purl stitches. Those are knitted by the needles on the needlebed when the…

Brother KG-93 garter carriage
Brother KG-93 carriage continues a series of automatic carriages that knit independently when plugged in. They are capable of creating alternating knit and purl stitches: purl-facing stitches are knitted in the main bed needles and knit=facing stitches are knit by the garter carriage needle. I am a proud owner of Brother KG93, so come back…

Brother KG93e is the same model garter carriage as Brother KG93. The difference is literally just the color of some of its parts. It is an anniversary edition and “e” stands for Eleganza.

Knitking Compuknit garter carriage
I am still trying to figure out what Knitking Compuknit garter carriage is compatible to in terms of Brother-branded garter carriages: maybe Brother KG89II because Knitking Compuknit III is identical to Brother KG93. Regardless, it has an automatic cast-on option and is compatible with majority of electronic and some punchcard knitting machines.
