Archive of Thread: New to Machine Knitting Back

3 years ago

Hello,

I am Renée Adams from a small town in the upstate region of New York in the US.  I have the Silver Reed LK 150 mid gauge machine.  I am new to machine knitting and have not knit my first garment yet. I am still working on it. 

I think I need a new sponge bar for my machine and I would like your advice on the best type, brand, and where is the best place to purchase it.

Also do you have any experience with the Hague Linker (manual or electronic)?  Is it easy to use?   How do you like how it seams?  Is it a bulky seam?  I would love to hear your thoughts and recommendations.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you.

There are several places you should be able to get sponge bars for your LK. Allbrands.com,  yarn-store.com, knitknackshop.com, theknittingcloset.com.  There are probably more stores but I don’t know all🤣.

 Sorry I know nothing about linkers. I prefer joining my work by hand in the evening while watching TV😉
