| Jean O is the are way to knit a triangle trim on the shawl on the Knitting machine? |
| Marianne M Thank you for the alternative edges. I'll have a good look on the site. |
| Cindy Minota KnitPicks.com sells the yarn-it is theirs |
| Betty E J Where did you find the yarn? |
| Jamie D No worries; I am puttering around my house and miss some bits too |
| Jean O Thanks. Jamie - my computer froze |

| Marie-Jo C Sue, may I ask if this shawl can be knitted on my bulky ? |

| Nancy M we all need to learn how to read and write lace diagrams... |
| Jean O is there a beginner lace shawl pattern available on your site? |
| Jean O Patricia B- my hand knitting favorite life line is dental floss! I will have to try it on machine! |
| Jamie D Awesome, thanks! |
| Patricia B I like to use dental floss for my lifelines. Itâs thin, but strong. I can add them more frequently and leave them in until Iâm done. |
| Jean O DAK, sorry |
| Phyl in Raleigh, NC Hi Laurie. If you knit a lot of lace, maybe "Lace Laurie" for a nickname? |
| Jean O Das add on |
| Jean O Yes - $75.00 |
| Dawn W Got a set of tweezers (like for serger use) with my Singer 700 - wonderful for picking up stitches that are visible for pick up on the back side. |
| Jamie D How do you run a life line on the machine? |
| Nancy M beside lifelines keep a few opened safety pins at hand to grab that dropped stitch before it can run |
| Jean O worth* |
| Jean O I have dropped stitches on a sample...not fun. Life lines are with the time! |
| Phyl in Raleigh, NC Sue, that ravel cord "lifeline" trick is fabulous! |
| Phyl in Raleigh, NC Though not all linen is MK friendly. But sooo lovely. I stick with really thin stuff or weave the thicker. |
| Cynthia P Jenny from N Wales is missing today. I hope she is alright |
| Phyl in Raleigh, NC Cindy, linen lace sounds beautiful, linen knits up so lovely. |
| Mary Ann B I use rain gutter covers for my bulky. |
| Lauren B (Laurie is my nickname). Thanks for the welcome. |
| Jean O cool thanks! |
| Cindy Minota I am working on a linen t-shirt style top and the sleeves have eyelet above the hem-I did it by hand yesterday, today I will do it with the lace carriage!!!! |
| Jody A you can use file folders over the ribber |
| Mary Ann B The tilt of the bed may mean that the stitch isn't in the optimal position on the needle. Over the ribber pulls the stitch forward a bit. |
| Cindy Minota Likewise, I will need a cover for my ribber! |
| Erin P Thank you |
| Nancy M your tension can not be too loose either. be careful that there are no latches that are not working properly., |
| Jean O what do you have over your ribber? Is there a cover for the SK840< |
