Hi, I am thinking about buying a knitting machine with garter carriage, and would like to read about
them to find out more of what they can do--but can't seem to find any useful books here in the U.S.
I went out to visit two shops to talk to the owners and see what I could find out. One was closed
until Tuesday, and I have to be back at work then. The other lady spent most of the time I was in
the shop trying to talk me out of the idea. Now I don't know if I am expecting to be able to do
things with the garter carriage that it isn't really capable of--or whether she was trying to talk
me out of it because the brand of machine she deals in doesn't have that capability.

What appeals to me about the garter carriage is the ability to let it "run by itself". I am
imagining coming home from work in the afternoon to find a sleeve or something hanging out of my
knitting machine. Can they really do this? My situation now is that I have many more ideas than
time to knit them (I'm sure I'm not the only one, either.)

I see in the list below

The Garter Carriage Diane Bennett Garter Carriages Paperback

I'm not quite sure whether this is one book or two, but I'd like to know how much extra I'd need to
add to the postage cost for shipping them to the U.S.

Of course I'd also like to hear from those of you who knit with the garter carriage. What can you
tell me about it?

Thanks,

Karen

Hi, Karen,

I have been knitting with a Brother 950i and a garter carriage for some
time. It is a wonderful machine but it does have some downsides you should
be aware of. Yes, it does knit on its own - but VERY slowly. I mean
SLOWLY. About 2 minutes a full row of stitches. This means your knitting
machine is tied up for quite a long time. OK if you have two machines up at
the same time so you can be working on the other one whilst it clacks away
on the other. I should mention that it is fairly noisy so if you are living
above people who do not like noise, this could provoke problems with the
neighbours.

You also have to be around it if you want any kind of shaping. Therefore
your dream of knitting a sleeve while you are at work is only realistic if
you want to cut and sew the shape. Otherwise you will need to be there each
time you come to a shaping row.

It is also not advisable to run the machine for too many hours at a time
since you could burn out the motor. I am not sure how many hours this would
take but I try not to run it more than 4 hours at a time (and I think even
this may be pushing it) before letting it cool down.

If you were planning to do ribs using the garter carriage, you will find
that they do not have the elasticity of a rib knitted with a ribber. It
looks OK but does not spring in the same way. You also could not do the 2 x
2 commercial rib (one I am particularly fond of).

Having said all this, I still would not be without it.

Good luck.

Margaret

Hi Knitters
The garter carriage i have knitted dozens of garments.
Have two machines and sometimes have two garter carriages going
together.
Mostly knit with DK superwash or two ends 4 ply.
They knit all day and I set it off again to knit all night.
I am lucky i have the room to keep the noise out of earshot.
Sometimes they work for 3 or 4 days and nights. Perhaps i
have been lucky but i have not yet burnt out a motor.
Have not used garter carriage so much the last few months
i must admit to getting a bit bored with the time it takes to
complete garment but i do like the finished results.
Regards. Anne

I thought the garter carriage was for 4 ply yarns.I assume you are not
knitting with a chunky machine.I would have thought double knitting yarn
would be too much for the garter carriage but obviously not!

I will have a go because it would make knitting a garment much quicker

[Marian Prescott]

Hi everyone.

A friend of mine has knit with 3 strands of 2 ply cotton and the garment was
lovely. She also uses double knitting yarn and several strands of
industrial to get approx double knit thickness. I have some Phyllis
Waterhouse pattern books which use 2 strands of Bramwell's duo magic(3 ply)
which comes out as approx double knit. The garter carriage can knit with
the thicker yarns on a standard gauge machine. I would not try to use
chunky yarn though.
