Brother KH 930 with eKnitter WebApp

Everything works together

The technology disappears.
The knitting remains.

eKnitter replaces the original electronics without changing the classic appearance of your machine. The board, firmware, WebApp, instructions, updates and support are developed as one complete product.

Wireless pattern transfer

Send patterns through Wi-Fi. No special transfer cable or adapter is required.

Built-in WebApp

Create, edit and send patterns from a Mac, Windows PC, tablet or phone.

Control at the machine

Use the original buttons to change rows or return to row one. Changes also appear in the WebApp.

Stored on eKnitter

The active pattern stays on the board, so knitting continues if your computer sleeps or disconnects.

Neatly integrated

eKnitter mounts securely inside the machine. Nothing shifts and the lid closes normally.

More creative control.
Directly in your browser.

Firmware 0.6.4 brings a larger set of pattern-design tools to the eKnitter WebApp. Start with an existing pattern, combine different ideas or develop the design as you knit.

eKnitter working wirelessly with DesignaKnit

DesignaKnit compatible

Use your preferred workflow

If you use DesignaKnit, eKnitter connects through Wi-Fi for complete garment design and fully interactive knitting.

DesignaKnit 9.14.01 or later is sold separately.

One eKnitter. Two ways to create.
Start with the included WebApp. Add DesignaKnit whenever it suits your workflow—using the same eKnitter board.

Everything you need to begin.

  • Professionally assembled eKnitter replacement control board
  • Firmware 0.6.4 with the latest WebApp, pre-installed
  • 100 Brother-compatible starter patterns
  • Step-by-step installation and setup guide
  • Future firmware and WebApp updates
  • Personal chat support when the guide is not enough

Compatibility

Made for your machine.

For Brother KH 930, KH 940, Erka 85 and Erka 95.

Carriages and beds

Works with K, L and G carriage types as well as single-bed and double-bed setups.

Knitting techniques

Supports Fair Isle, multicolour Jacquard and circular knitting. Speed / KE-100 compatible.

Installation

A modern upgrade.
Made to fit.

eKnitter uses the machine’s existing mounting points. Installation is straightforward and fully reversible—no drilling is required.

Made to fit securely inside the machine using the existing mounting points.
Power supply: We recommend a modern external power supply, which is not included. The original internal power supply can also be used if it is still functional.
Watch the installation process.
Before you buy: eKnitter completely replaces the original electronics, so the original pattern memory is not required. Your machine must still be mechanically functional, especially its needle-selection mechanism and carriage movement.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need DesignaKnit?

No. The eKnitter WebApp and 100 starter patterns are included. You can create, edit and transfer patterns from a Mac, Windows PC, tablet or phone. If you later want complete garment design and fully interactive knitting, the same eKnitter hardware is already ready to connect to DesignaKnit.

Will I need different hardware if I start using DesignaKnit later?

No. eKnitter already supports DesignaKnit 9.14.01 or later through Wi-Fi. You only need to purchase the DesignaKnit software—no additional transfer cable, adapter or eKnitter hardware upgrade is required.

Is eKnitter difficult to install?

Most users can install eKnitter with the step-by-step guide. If you get stuck, personal support is available through our live chat.

Can a machine-knitting beginner use it?

Yes. Begin with one of the included patterns, follow the quick-start guide and knit your first sample.

Does it support double bed, Jacquard and circular knitting?

Yes. Both single-bed and double-bed techniques are supported.

What happens if Wi-Fi or my computer disconnects?

The complete active pattern is stored on eKnitter before knitting begins, so you can continue without interruption.

Can I change rows at the machine?

Yes. The original button panel remains connected. Move up and down through the pattern or return to row one; each change is also shown in the WebApp.

Is eKnitter a DIY project?

No. It is a professionally assembled, CE and FCC tested hardware upgrade. The board, firmware, WebApp, instructions, updates and support come from one team.

Classic outside. Modern inside.

More creating.
More experimenting.
More you.

A smoother workflow, so you can focus on creating.

I couldn't be happier with my E-Knitter board! Installing it has completely transformed my Brother 940 and made the whole knitting experience so much more enjoyable.
Being able to knit interactively with DAK completely cable-free is a game changer. The connection is seamless, everything works exactly as it should and it’s made my knitting so much easier and more enjoyable.
It’s clear how much effort has gone into creating such a fantastic upgrade for these machines. I'm so glad I decided to buy it — it has been worth every penny and has completely modernised my knitting setup.
I would highly recommend the E-Knitter board to anyone looking to get the most out of their Brother knitting machine. It's an amazing piece of technology that has made machine knitting so much more enjoyable!

It arrived very fast and protected in a big box. I’ll take a little time to start using it because my 940 is on the way. When I use for the first time I’ll change this comment. Thank you.
