knitting help needed

scrooge_by_necessity

I have been given an empisal 326 knitting machine, so I can save money recycling old jumpers into new ones, and blankets, and other stuff, and on looking in the box eagerly to see if I can have a play with it there are no instructions. No manual, nothing, but a lot of punched cards, help please.

Where can I get some instructions? I have tried a google search, but all that comes up is a lot of Auction site items, I dont think the empisal company is here any more. I want to be able to knit a warm something for this winter.

Any Ideas. Are all knitting machines the same idea? How do I do it?

Boo hoo, cant knit a blanket tonight, and its cold. Boo hoo

Cheers

Empisal is Knitmaster/Silver Reed.

Try here http://www.undyarns.co.uk/acatalog/manual.html. Your model is listed there so hopefully you will have some luck.

The principal of machines is the same but you do need to know which levers go which way and this can differ from make to make. I can't remember how basic the 326 is. I will check which model I have but I am sure it is later than that.
