Keeping your Knitting Machine in good shape
Every machine knitter meets a bent cast-on comb eventually — a prong drifts out of line, the comb won't sit level, and all at once your cast-on won't behave. The reassuring news is that most bends come straight again at your own table, with one small tool and a little patience. This guide walks you through rescuing a bent comb step by step, with clear diagrams for where to grip and how to check your work, so you can get back to knitting rather than hunting down a replacement.

From stuck to creating knitwear
The snag that nearly stopped it
Finished or mid-row, both count
Dropped stitches, tension miscalculations, carrier jams. Members post what went wrong alongside what finally worked—find the resources you need within the classroom.
Machine Knitting Hub is focused on beginners — and those of you who've knitted a few rows, watched a few videos, and somewhere along the way got stuck and put the lid back on your machine.
A tension swatch deserves as much space as a completed garment. Showing the in-between is how newer makers understand what progress actually looks like.
Your machine is waiting.
So are we.
Machine Knitting Hub is a warm new community for domestic machine knitters — beginners and the beautifully stuck.
You bought the machine. Maybe you even got a few rows in. But somewhere along the way, it got complicated — and now it's gathering dust while you wonder if you'll ever really crack it.
Machine Knitting Hub is built for exactly where you are. A friendly, no-jargon space where you'll get the guidance, the community, and the confidence to finally make the knitwear you've been dreaming of.
