Two knit hats in green and white stranded colourwork, with solid green at the crown. They have folded hems so they're triple-thick over the ears, for triple warmth. They have tags tied to them with the KnittingPirate logo on one side, and care instructions on the other.
After some trial and error, I got the tags to print properly. Now I just have to pop them out and tie them on.

A knit beanie with a brown ribbed brim and brown cats on a tan background, modeled on a mannequin head.
I found the stitch pattern for these cats on Pinterest, then punched my own card for it and knit a hat.

slowly advancing in my skills with the brother knitting machine. One could think its easier to knitt by hand? Weeeeeeeelllllllllll NO ๐คญ๐๐. But allows you to be quicker.
Here a band trying different techniques with a chewron punchcard. #knittsky #machineknitting #punchcard #slipstich #weaving #tuck
The start of a stranded colourwork hat which has a pattern repeat of five gray wolves on a dark blue background, howling at the moon. The brim of the hat is green and brown with tan speckles, which is supposed to be the ground.
I successfully knit the wolves, but it took so much manual needle selection ๐ญ The machine's been brought to the workshop for cleaning & figuring out what's wrong.
Next time I might just do more dark blue ribbing at the brim instead of the 'ground' effect.

Iโm back on my bullshit/fixation for trying to get a flatbed, digital knitting machine.
Iโll take any advice or suggestions why this is a great or terrible idea! Or experience with using one? Brand recommendations?

Three knitted beanies in different colors, with folded-up brims.
Three more charity hats, ready for donation! I hosted my knitting group for a brunch recently and we cranked out a few hats with my Addi Express knitting machine.

I am modeling a burgundy and gray hat that is not only too large on me, but significantly too tall as well. This is a top-down view that shows the pointed crown of the hat.
First attempt at a machine-knit shaped colourwork crown was... well, let's just say I'm glad I'd already considered this to be a prototype hat before I got started. I think a pompom will fix it, though :)

Okay. I successfully did a comb cast on and a e-wrap cast on. Had a little trouble figuring out tension and random floats, but I made two more swatches.
And then put the machine away.
I have got to get into the habit of putting it away. XD #machineknitting
Knit swatch.
Did my first test. This took me longer than I want to admit but once I got started it went pretty fast. :D
I think most of my issues was this yarn was too thick. Might be pushing it with worsted weight. XD
#machineknitting I got the DLLES IN GK-370.
I decided to invest in a flat bed knitting machine, but I am finding it difficult to find accessories (like transfer tools) for the Mid Gauge (6.5mm) I got. Everything online feels like its for Standard (4.5mm) or Bulky (9mm) XD; #machineknitting
Tank was determined to be helpful when I pulled my knitting machine out a few days ago to upgrade it.

Thereโs something so comforting about the sound of a knitting machineโanyone else agree? #MachineKnitting #KnitDesign #TextileArt #FiberArts #KnitPatterns #KnitwearDesign #Knitting #FiberArtist
Dear #knittsky, #knitting people #machineknitting and #knittdesigners I want to make a call to all of you. In a world that is diverse, we have as humans different learning profiles, some of us are disable and engage the world in different ways. As we all love knitting and their beautiful bennefits
A beautifull nearly finish back piece of a cardigan hanging from a brother knitting machine Allegro. in the upper part is unravelled very deep because the loops jump out of the hooks because of the lack of heavy weights
A close detail of the dissaster, in the image one sees two major holes that goes down at least 7 rows in some parts
not having the proper weight ended in disaster ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ i will try to see how to mend this next weekend #knittsky #brother #machineknitting
