Use two latches to double your ribbing speed, or reform up to 7 stitches at a time for garter stitch, seed stitch, textured motifs, cable columns or plain or fancy ribbings.

24 needles can be selected for fairisle, tuck, cables, or any other manual selection for patterning!

Magic Wand Selector $36.00


For knitting machines such as the BOND that do not come with a yarn mast.

Yarn feeds smoother and is less likely to tangle or get caught on the row counter when run through the mast.

 

It comes apart so that you can pack it and take it with you.
This handy item is handcrafted from pine, stained and finished smooth and has two flexible wire eyes for feeding yarn and a slot for holding pattern booklets  or clipboard.
Here you can see the mast behind a Bond USM machine.

The yarn is feeding from a cone, but works just as well with a ball or skein of yarn.

Notice that it can also hold
2 colors, add a second mast to hold 4 colors.

 

Yarn Mast $15.00

 


Intarsia Key Plate

This is for creating pictures, but no floats! You paint the picture by draping your yarn colors over the needles, and then knitting the colors in one pass of the knitting carriage.

I use this for knitting both halves of a neckline at the same time, knitting two baby/child sleeves, or the front and back of baby/child sweater at the same time. Anytime you want to knit identical pieces, this is the tool to use.

$22.95

 


Claw Weights

These are from other brands of knitting machines. They are just convenient weights that you can add for a bit more weight where needed. Wonderful for socks or other small pieces.

$7.95 a pair

ISM to USM UPGRADE KIT

All the features of the USM model for Incredible Sweater Machine® owners, the new Ultimate Sweater Machine® Upgrade Kit

Here's HOT NEW CARRIAGE NEWS too!!

Roger together with Caron has re- designed the USM carriage - just slightly, but enough to make this new version a dream to knit with!

The keyplates are SO easy to insert, but the biggest feature is re-designed “stripper plates” that give the carriage the appearance of “wings.”

Yes, it almost floats across the bed, but the most important aspect of this new design is that it is nearly impossible for the yarn to catch on the plates and thus drop your knitting.I

Contents: Ultimate Sweater Machine® carriage, 4 reversible keyplates, new needle number strips.

Second Carriage Kit

Another use for this kit, is as a second carriage for two color work. Thread one color in each carriage. This technique is explained in

BOND Stitch Encyclopedia Vol #1,

and also in the Sept/Oct 1991 (Issue #44) of The
Machine Knitters Source
.

ISM to USM upgrade kit or Second Carriage Kit, $35.95
