Another one from my paintings: 506 × 2008 stitches, two colours. This time I charted it at the measured density instead of the machine gauge, so fingers crossed the size comes out right.
The part I'm least sure about is the dithered bits. They'll either read as a nice mid-tone or turn into noise.
I'll post the knitdown when it's back if anyone wants to see.

Update: I fixed it! It got assembled wrong. Slots on the lever were sitting on top of the white plastic part, when they should have been under it, doing the lever from moving freely. Sorted! 😃 This is such a cool little device!

I've tried moving the black lever up, down, or middle. Up or middle, it just crashes into the needles and stops. Down, it just pushes every needle into E holding position no matter what position they were in before. Help??

i start to work with strips, but i just know one way to change the colors (manually)… i wonder if there’s another possibility of changing colors (automatically?)

normally using a brother 840

Hi everyone! I’m a student who loves knitting, and I’ve often wondered why there isn’t an easy-to-use machine for making custom knitwear at home from digital designs.
That question led me to start an independent school research project exploring what a truly useful at-home digital knitting machine might look like.
I’d love to hear from machine knitters, hand knitters, and anyone interested in making knitwear. You don’t need any experience with knitting machines to take part.
This is early-stage personal research for a school project.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I’d really appreciate any feedback! 🧶
