This workshop will be taught using a Brother KH881 knitting machine but most information will translate to a variety of makes and models of knitting machine. I will take you from threading-up to knitting swatches, striping and casting-off in the morning, followed by using the punch-card function and knitting your own scarf!
At the end of the workshop you will have a good working knowledge of the basic functions of your knitting machine and you will be able to cast on, knit stripes, use a punch-card, calculate from swatch to finished piece and cast off!
