Patricia H
Thank you Sue! |
Wilma T
LOL, I agree. While I tend to change each pattern I knit, done that since I started |
Dawn W
Some people can't plan for their projects and totally rely on a pattern. Have seen the same thing with quilters. |
Cynthia P
with little ones i like the hoodie poject. |
Jenny M B
It's not a luxury - it's a restriction! |
Nancy M
the pockets would be a a great place to practice motif knitting. |
Cindy Minota
Pockets will be very interesting-good idea! |
Jacqueline O
Excellent idea. Thank you for that pocket concept. Nice topic. |
Les B
My wife hand knitters are different |
Cynthia P
I would have had a problem keeping quiet. lol |
Leo B
Thank you guys .I learned so much and I think I will play with it. |
Kelly C
That's because you are thinking logic. |
Matthew F
That is great Annie - I like that |
Annie L
It's the same as being dropped into a foreign country and need to find a bathroom. It's fear of the unknown. |
Dawn W
Thanks, Jenny! |
Kelly C
Hi Sue Can you do this on a brother 260? Thanks Kelly |
Jenny M B
You can do plated tuck! |
Dawn W
Can you only plait stockinette? |
Erin
i don't understand my singer 560 plaiting instructions |
Annie L
Would a dental floss threader help? |
Mary Ann B
I've done that Nancy, and it works well. |
Ebba R
Hallo from Sweden |
Dawn W
Nancy, thanks. Sounds like a very good solution! |
Jacqueline O
More expensive but fine/thin yarn or thread you can put on the public side of the plaiting feeder (I am not a fan of either metallic or mohair but these are options) then the surface of the public side better shows off the 'fancy' yarn |
Nancy M
if you stack your cones and put one yarn up through the top most cone's coneand then thread them together it will automatically twist them as you knit. |
Nancy M
on some yarn antennas have a small wire loop that directs the plating yarn afyer it goes through the take up . |
Nancy M
just cast on with both strands |
Jenny M B
I've only made plaited sweaters, but 2 very fine strands make quite a lightweight fabric. |
Mary Ann B
You could use it to line an itchy wool. |
Annie L
Do you have a photo of a yarn twister? |
Eleanor L
Plaiting is good when you have a thin yarn you really like because you can use two yarns for extra body and still have your preferred yarn show. Eleanor from Michigan |
Diane C
I must have needed a third cup of coffee that day. Duh! Thank you! |
Jenny M B
Yes! |
Diane C
Jenny: after you thread the plait gadget? |
Jenny M B
Diane C, I e-wrap cast on with the 2 strands together. |
Betty E J
Like double knitting by hand? |
Diane C
This webinar is great timing for me! I just got a part for my Toyota 901 that allows me to plait. Iâm baffled by how I would cast on, though. The yarn is threaded through two separate holes. I canât make this very clear, sorry. Any thoughts on this?? And hello from Vermont! |
Mary Ann B
I've wondered about using plaiting on mittens to make them warmer. |
Jenny M B
Hello from North Wales, everybody! Big fan of plating here. |
Cindy Minota
The door is locked so I can't get any surprise visitors! I want to listen to this live for a change!!! lol |
Ruth S
My service dog. |
Mary Ann B
The instructions -somewhere- said to hold the top yarn to the back. I had stripes where the yarn colors changed sides. Wasn't a total loss as they were irregular enough and kind of looked planned. |
Ruth S
Ruth and Agadore here from Canada. He's a big fan - loves to sit on the desk and watch you. |
Nancy M
speed and how the tension pulls the yarn from the ball. |
Dawn W
Good afternoon from waterlogged Ohio. |
Joan W
Hello on Wednesday morning from New Zealand |
Wilma T
I do decrease weights when my piece gets smaller. |
Aly T
Hi from Dublin |
Wilma T
Have to try that Mary Ann, thank you! |
Annie L
The pocket swatch you showed has some rowing out. How can the accuracy be maintained? |
Lyn R
Good morning |
Mike L
Good afternoon from Illinois |
Betty E J
Hello from rainy hot Alabama |
Mary Ann B
I wonder if threading the yarn from behind the handle would keep it to one side more efficiently. |
Marelda C
Hello from South San Francisco. |
June H
Good Morning from Washington! |
Darcy W
Am I late? Did you start early? |
Mary Ann B
I was using my Silver Reed 860. It doesn't have a plaiting feeder. |
Mary Ann B
I like that pocket idea. Want to make pullover for my grandson with that pocket. |
Cynthia P
hi from Oshawa Canada |
Patricia H
Patricia from Louisiana, good afternoon ya'll!! |
Mary Ann B
That was midguage. |
Nancy M
Nancy Mangeri in Kansas here!! |
Mary Ann B
I used plaiting on a Misgauge without a plaiting feeder. The yarn switched sides periodically. |
Leo B
Thank you |
Wilma T
Thank you :-) |
Mary Ann B
Hi! from Minnesota. |
Leo B
Do you have to use two threads of the same weight or diferent weights |
Wilma T
Need some tips on avoiding , poolingâ of one colour in the other. I really want one colour on one side and not switching sides. Why does it happen? |
Leo B
I have a brother 970 |
Leo B
Hope to learn to used the plating feeder and what we can do with it. |
Wilma T
Only tried it double bed with thin yarns. Need to do a single bed swatch on the kh940 and lk150 soon. |
Wilma T
