Electronic Knit Radar (Contour) KR11

The Knit Contour takes all the hard work out of counting stitches when you are shaping a garment -- it virtually does it all for you!  What's more, you can choose either a 1/2 scale pattern or a 1/4 scale pattern. The KR10 comes with 4 different styles of knitting patterns.

The Knit Radar will fit all Silver Reed knitting machines that have the jack on the row counter. The punch card machines do not have this type of row counter, but you can purchase this row counter to put on them.

KR11 requires a different row counter than the one on the SK155

Bulky Intarsia Carriage

Intarsia allows you to machine knit as many colors as you like in a single row.  Great for large areas of solid color geometric or pictorial machine knit designs, with no floats on the back.

Knitting Machine Stand

28" tall. Cross bar is 42" wide. A-Frame traditional stand for all knitting machines. Easy to assembly, and stores away in 5 main pieces that take up very little space.

I have left the pictures a little larger so you can see the detail.  Feel free to to stop the loading if you are not interested in the close-ups of the machine.

a general view.
I have a two color (fair isle) sample hanging on the machine.  What you see is the purl side of the fabric and in fair isle, it is the knit side that shows the design.  So, this is the back side.  

This close-up shows the 2 standard claw weights (the smaller ones on each side) and the larger claw weight in the middle.  The SK155 knitting machine come with 2 standard claw weights and 3 large weights.

More detail of the tension pole.  This picture shows two yarns (one white, one multi-color) loaded into the tension mast and into feeders A & B in the carriage. The SK155 will knit 2 colors automatically due to the punch card mechanism selecting the specific needles necessary, according to the punch card, for each yarn.  One pass knits both colors in that row.
