Eunice, check eBay. I've been seeing lots of 9mm garter bars there lately. Some of the prices are higher - do shop.

Kriskrafter.com has some nice one from around $54 each. That's where I got my 8mm bar for my Incredible Sweater Machine. However now I am on the hunt for a 4.5mm setup and eBay looks good. Happy knitting folk!
DeleteWatched all of these garter bar videos and am now practicing these techniques. Have done some decreases and increases, turning for garter stitch, ripping (oh now a favorite), and am now doing some weaving with ribbon for practice. Love it. Thanks so much for making it so clear.

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time not only to make these videos but make them available. They are fantastically clear and useful - especially the one for turning the garter bar. Being able to see what was happening from underneath really helped for me.

thankyou so much for the videos i saw some on ebay .they dont have the stopper ,do i need a stopper ..??
ReplyDeleteregaards
thanksagain . My Q is do i need a Stopper for the Garter Bar
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need a stopper. The garter bar will do far more with a stopper.
ReplyDeleteWithout a stopper, you will find increasing, cables, lace, and garter stitch much, much more difficult.
Thank you Diana! I just received my 8mm garter bar set and needle stopper from KrisKrafter. You have really outdone yourself on these tutorials. Until I watched your videos, I had decided that I probably didn't need a needle stopper. Your tutorials changed my mind. My only problem now is that I have so many ideas that I cannot decide what to do first with my new toys!!
ReplyDeleteI have tried 3 times to Purchase a Garter bar from Kris the purchase form only applies for Canada USA . it wont let me buy! I sent email to Kris and still no answer
