Do you sometimes feel that machine knitting is too hard?

Consider the brand new machine knitter who started with an electronic machine and ribber, who gave up after taking 6 months to knit a pair of socks!

Did the right angle blanket for my son. Came out real nice.
Nancy M
just a tip... on a regular basis, review your instruction manual to refresh on techniques not used often... had to go to my manual to remember how to knit only the hold stitches anD slip the work pisition needles...DUUH!
Ebba R
From Where
Nancy M
just realized the time!! finishing putting on a leg band
Ginny B
Hi, Ebba. My maternal grandmother was100% Swedish?
Marie-Jo C
When knitting with a single bed machine, it is much better to use a double bed cast on comb ! I found this tip on the KIN site and use it again and again !!
Ebba R
Hej!from Sweden
Ginny B
Hmmm. How did my post change to right-justified?
Matthew Friedman

Ginny B
Uh Oh. The map was showing below you. In the process of trying to move it to show the U.S., the entire map disappeared. How do I get it back?
Dawn W
One more in SW Ohio...
Annie L
where do I put my zip code?
Faris R
Still having a problem with using my Brother KH 260 main bed and ribber with a punch card. I think it is in the settings? Just trying to knit a scarf for grand daughter. Can I contact you later?
Carol D
THe page doesn't include the lace cards. It's a Brother 830 machine.
Marie-Jo C
Thank you for the map, Matt
Dot B
Hi, I knitted a really colourful mile a minute hat for my grandaughter but it fits me! I couldn't find my notes as to which size I knitted so I'll just have to make a guess and try again! Lesson learned - write it down!
Matthew Friedman
Map?
Carol D
My machine is a Brother 830.
Cindy Minota
Practice is the best instructor-you will get used to all of the new manipulations your hand needs to learn; the only way you can do this is to machine knit daily!
Carol D
I've been knitting lace scarves since our lace KAL. I found I'm missing the D25 lace punchcard from the original set. Does anyone know where I can find the schematic to punch a new card in that design?
Mary K
Don't forget edge weights
Dayana K
I crawl behind my work all the time :laughing:
June R
Silly question. I have a little difficulty putting on the cast on comb on my knitting and caching the stitches, on my LK150
Alicia S
THank you for your help, I will email you. :) :)
Annie L
Does her yarn bounce back?
Marvel D
plain
Jane K
Many manuals are available for free on line
Cynthia P
everything i touch on the km lately i mess up and i am waiting to do better.
Dayana K
I even use my ribber claw weights (the ones with a hole in the bottom for a weight) on the edges if I have to
Dayana K
Jane, I always make sure I have lots of weight on the edges
Carol D
I have always found the edge stitches need extra weight as you knit along.
Alicia S
Jane, that was happening to me when I wasn't going past the last and first needles far enough.
Marvel D
yes i agree Jane
Jane K
My frustrations as a new machine knitter: the first and last stitches fairly often do not knit. As a long time hand knitter who now has arthritis, it seems strange to see the back of the work
Marvel D
i have a used vintage brother profile 550 and i am having trouble with tension and eveverything no manual
Alicia S
I have an SK 360 and I am having trouble with basic operation. The manual doesn't seem to be very helpful.
Carol D
Hi from the Catskill Mountains of NY. It's a nice sunny day!
Arlene T
Good Morning Arlene from Goodyear
Marie-Jo C
I wonder why my pullovers fit when they are just knitted but become much wider after a couple of months ...
Marvel D
i am having trouble with using 60 needles for swatches and the end ones fall off
Dayana K
December!
Cindy Minota
I agree, Dayana, I learned several new techniques and have some confidence which I lacked previously!
Jane K
fairly often the first and or last stitch do not knit
Sharon S
if you only have a standard machine, you can use thicker yarns with a looser tension or every other needle.
Cynthia P
i lost the feed
Dayana K
yahoo
Dayana K
I used the blanket to learn THREE new techniques!

Alicia S
Thank you Jenny, I will write that down.
Jenny M B
Alicia - start with Swatching. It's so important but easy to do.
Annie L
It's amazing to use machine knitting to compliment your hand knitting and crochet. They work so well together.
Alicia S
Thank you! :) I really would like to know what videos to do first.
Cynthia P
Alicia don't give up, please
Cindy Minota
No, I just had to walk away often in the beginning!
Alicia S
It's my first time attending a live event here. :) I am brand new and struggling.
