wow, what a crazy machine and very inspiring video! you are very dedicated to your projects and you still have a lot of fun with it, that is great to watch (:
So interesting watching this video, it brought back so many memories of my grandfather buying himself a very similar machine in the 1960s & knitting for everyone (usually very badly & unwearable). My sister and I both made scarves on it & I remember loving pushing the cartridge back and forth (we were very young so I’m surprised they let us). After he died my mum had it but she never got on with it, it was too prone to mistakes. I wonder what happened to it? As children we loved it. You have great tenacity Kachi, I’m afraid I would be like my mum and give up. I love your multi coloured jacket - something to be very proud of. 😁
I'm so excited to see this video! I just bought a 1960's knitting machine (currently cleaning out all the old oil, yuck). I'm definitely going to play around making numbered samples like you have.
Hey, interesting to hear that, same as in my native language, also in German the basic stitches are called "right" and "left"! For English speakers - "knit" and "purl" was meant, respectively (as I understand)!
Can't wait to see what you make next on this machine. Also, I really enjoy when you use the German words for things. I'm moving there soon and last time I went to buy fabric in a store I had such a hard time communicating what I needed since I'm not familiar with the terminology. My husband was trying to translate for me, but didn't know the words either since sewing is not his thing. Do you think you could occasionally translate some of the words you're using?
She has helped me out with this before in the comments, back when I lived in Germany. I am now the happy owner of a roll of pattern paper I had no chance of finding by myself! It was so kind.
sledge = sled ... maybe? when knitting, try standing and pulling with your whole body side to side otherwise that looks painful if sitting. needs to be longer, but colorful!
sorry, but when you put shoulder seems together, shouldn't you have a room for neck in the back peace? it seems that side front pieces meet together, while they should be a bit separate?
What a workout! The finished garment looks very cute and charming.

Ok but that garment is really cute! It's going to be irreplaceable during cold winter days in! 😻

How long did that take?
Wie heißt die Strickmaschine?

I was thinking the same thing, but I think the collar helps solve that problem.
