An alternate Fair Isle method for the LK 150, KX 350 or LK 100 knitting machines. This method works well when you need an odd number of rows of the contrast color or want more than two colors in the same row.

Some other helpful items for machine knitters:

LK 150 Knitting Machine.

Claw weights.
Your machine comes with two claw weights but it is very helpful to have more.

Double eyed transfer tool.
These are great for seaming or transferring stitches.

Mini Metal Spring Clamps.
I like these clamps for weighting down yarn tails. They are a nice size and weight and they have rubber tips which makes it easy to grab yarn quickly.

Yarn winder.
Yarns, unless they are sold as cakes or cones, will have to be re-wound into a cake, otherwise it is impossible to get an even flow of yarn to the yarn feeder. This basic one is inexpensive and will handle a 100 gram skein of yarn.

Crayola washable markers.
These markers are one of my favorite tools to use with my mid-gauge plastic machines, especially for hand-selecting patterns. Because they are easily wiped off with a damp paper towel, they are wonderful for marking your machine bed. I sometimes even write knitting notes on my carriage with them. Although other generic brand washable markers will work in a pinch, the Crayolas are the best.

Books.
There are many great books on machine knitting that can be found on the used book market, but there are still a few in print. Some of them are better than others, but here are some very good ones that are very helpful for owners of mid-gauge hobby machines such as the LK 150 or the KX 350.
