What are the main differences between the Incredible Sweater Machine or Bond Classic and the Ultimate Sweater Machine?
The needle bed is the same. The carriage is quite different and incorporates all the wishes of Sweater Machine knitters over the years: the front of the carriage is open (no fabric guide) so doing intarsia on the fly (as you knit) and other changing of yarn, such as for stripes, is especially easy. The carriage also has a built-in tripper for the row counter. There are six different keyplate sizes to match every size hand knitting needle from a 6 through a 10. The color of the carriage is plum and the keyplates are a transparent green. There s a new pattern book, instruction book and video and lots of new accessories and pattern books.
