LK 150 Hobby knitter - mid-gauge machine (6.5 mm)(this is for information only - not for sale)
AG 10 again with the Instruction Book http://clearwaterknits.com/patterns/
This photo shows the carriage of the LK150
Light weight, compact, easy to store, easy to use, plastic bed machine for which there is no ribber (you can either
knit the ribs by hand, or hand tool them on the machine). Has 150 needles and ideally knits yarns about the weight
of Patons Astra which is 22 sts to 10cm on 4 mm hand knitting needles (Light 3) double knitting yarn. By use of
the tension dial you can knit yarns that are slightly thinner or thicker than this. It knits stocking stitch but
with hand manipulation you can knit tuck, slip and fairisle.
Here is a photo of the needle bed, notice the needle butts are colour coded in sets of 10. Also
you can see the row counter at the back of the bed and the mast to the left.

LW1 Weaving Attachment
LS6 Pattern Selector (manual here)
FC6 Fairisle Carriage
People who buy this machine sometimes complain that there are no patterns for it when the beauty of this machine
and the LK140 is that it is easy to adapt your handknitting patterns to it. Knitting done on this machine looks
like you hand knit it. However, if you need patterns check out
Lion Brand Yarns also make this wool (LB1878) on cone for the LK150
