| Yes I'm trying to use a garter I'm trying to use a garter bar and am having a hard time getting the fabric back on |
| Jacqueline O Oh last night I finished a lace scarf. |
| Nancy M also check that your latches are working easily and gate pegsare straight |
| Nancy M lace, tuck and slip stitches are radically affected by bad spongee |
| Mary Ann B Great idea Nancy! |
| Nancy M that's why I often made 3 swatches exactly the same...one wss by hand dry flat, one thru washer dryer several times. one indressed |
| Michelle E Had that surprise after washing too many times |
| Marjorie M Math not the problem! I need to know what she got with what she did. Then I. Would have a basis to adapt from for me! |
| Lynnette D It's time to replace the sponge bar |
| Lynnette D When the needles won't stay up in working position |
| Lola P When is the right time to replace the bar?? |
| Cindy Minota I won't do a pattern without a schematic now--saves a LOT of hassle! |
| Nancy M swatch |
| Beverley G What is sponge bars, I donât seem to have it on my sk155 |
| Julie Ann M Thatâs me |
| Nancy M ease |
| Nancy M I've even added eae that was included because I didn't read all the pattern |
| Marjorie M Read pattern! If you can before buying. I bought pattern from British designer for machine knitting that has no gauge, machine, or sizing to it! |
| Carol D Kay M I don't know any MK's live in person, but this is a great place to get help!!! |
| Julie Ann M Check your sponge bar |
| Kay M My first time here so forgive if it all seems very elementary. No machine knitters in my city. |
| Joy G yes, i did that lol and had to undo it :( |
| Mary Ann B At the same time! Been caught with that one. |
| Wilma T That would be great Kay!!! Thank you |
| Nancy M LOL. I have a few things that I didn't read ahead.... |
| Kay M Wilma, I will see if Sue can help me figure out a pattern and share with you if we are allowed to do that. |
| Cindy Minota I set small goals for each session-I like to start with sleeves because they are a good canvas to see what your works look like; |
| Wilma T Kay, I do not like a drop shoulder either. A modified drop shoulder is better, but I prefer a raglan or set in sleeve |
| Yvonne W Hello from Pa. |
| Nancy M i agree.. I even cast on so its started when I get up in the morning |
| Joy G Before I buy any more lol |
| Julie Ann M Julie from Italy |
| Nancy M whew! finally made it here...Nancy Mangeri in Kansas |
| Joy G I have a mixture of yarns, which I need to use first ... |
| Kay M Yes Wilma, that is the shoulder seam. I need a repeatable sweater pattern like Boxy but do not like drop shoulder. |
| Marjorie M What if you are learning? I keep trying different things to see what I like. Eventually, I expect to settle on a way for âmy patternsâ (originals, in particularly) and what type of patterns to use. One seems like too narrow a goal. |
| Michelle E I get distracted looking at all my patterns |
| Kate A When the last thing I do in my knitting room is prepare for the next project, I am much more likely to get in and start to be productive. |
| Wilma T Shoulder seam like Nina Miklin uses? |
| Kay M Thank you sue. Kay |
| Wilma T Yes, Mary Ann and amazing how much you can do in even 10 minutes |
| Kay M Kay who desperately needs help with classic fully fashioned shoulder seam. That is like a classis cashmere behind shoulder seam. Trying to get back on my standard gauge brother after surgery |
| Mary Ann B Yes Wilma, I seem to work faster if I have a timer going. The hour for knitting is so I MOVE! |
| Wilma T Yes, I agree, a timer really helps. Also with household chores |
| Mary Ann B I find if I set an alarm for 1 hour to knit I do get things done. |
| Ursula E Hello from Portugal |
