Welcome to my Knit-O-sphere!
The goal of this site is to invite you to the fascinating world of knitting machines, where threads of tradition and technology intertwine seamlessly.
My blog invites you to my unique journey into the realm of knitting machines – the ones I fix, work on, pass on…
As a dedicated troubleshooter in the world of yarn, needles, carriages, ribbers, tension masts and sinker plates, I invite you to explore the fascinating stories behind the machines I seek out, service/refurbish and pass on to other knitting machine enthusiasts.
From vintage all-mechanical models to the latest in cutting-edge knitting technology (focus on electronic patterning and digital pattern transfer), each machine has its own tale to tell. By reading this blog, you will join me, one machine needle and one stitch at a time, in discovering the intricate dance between gears and yarn that turns potential chaos into either beautifully crafted masterpieces or simply warm things that our family members and friends enjoy wearing.
Whether you’re a fellow knitting machine enthusiast, a curious onlooker, or someone facing a technical glitch in your own machine, this blog is a hub of insights, tips, and shared experiences.
Dive with me into the world where creativity and mechanics converge, exploring the challenges and triumphs of keeping these remarkable machines humming with life.
Welcome to the workshop and to the world of knitting machine repairs.
