There's so much to cover with the knitting machine and it's various settings, dials and features that I've split up the learnings into 6 classes.
It's important that you attend at least some of these classes before attempting to use the knitting machine to reduce the risk of breaking it and spoiling it for everyone. As you don't need to know all the things to just use the equipment properly only these classes are compulsory:
- class 1 (knitting machine setup, basic knit and trouble shooting)
- class 3 (ribber attachment setup, basic knit and trouble shooting)
Sessions and people
