An interesting adaptation for your machine is to knit over every-other-needle (EON). This technique allows standard gauge knitters to use heavier yarns. It can also create lightweight, loose, open fabric. Let's explore some of the possibilities of every-other-needle on any knitting machine

The tech is always a challenge ... for all of us. We host this on Knit it Now and it makes things a little clumsy, but I find that I get easily distracted when watching
Jeanne Crockett
Well, I was there, but not in the LIVE. So I watched you waiting to start. LOL. Duh.
Sue Jalowiec
Thanks for being there ... there are no demerits for being tardy ... :-)

After transferring to eon for the top of the hat, I always knit an odd number of rows, ending on the left, and pull the yarn through from the right. You will get a tighter close on the top
Jeanne Crockett
Oh, my goodness. Nine years. Congratulations!
Phyl in Raleigh, NC
Yes, mitten KAL!

If you have a "friendly" yarn making a new punch card may not be necessary.

Can you use cotton on the knitting machine? I always thought it was too unforgiving
