Over the years, knitting machines have been made by various manufacturers and marketed in different parts of the world under different brand names.

It's important to remember that one brand isn't "better" than another. The machines may have different names and locations for buttons and levers, and they can have different logic (especially with automatic patterning), but they all do basically the same thing.

Whether manual, punchcard, electronic, vintage or new, our knitting machines are tools that we can use to more quickly create knitted "fabric" and express our creativity.
