Jean S
I have problems starting the punch card patterns after working in stockinette
Lorraine L
I'm waiting for more than basic DBJ is great
Nancy H
punch card info please!!!
Jean S
basics on punch cards and how to make the patterns work for you.
Karyn B
I'd love punchcard info, etc!
Patricia H
stitch patterns is a great idea
Sherrie B
Would love a future class about machine settings for double bed Jacquard.
Jane W
does it need to be dragged over wax?
Jane W
tricks for using hand yarn on machine?
Mary Ann B
One of the enticing things in favor of the LK150 is the price point. Much cheaper than metal bed machines.
Nancy M
what yarn did you use for the lenvelope?
Marie-Jo C
Good idea, Elspa ! The result can't be desappointing !

double bed Tuck on passap is really drapey.
Nancy M
great idea... color can be distracting... also a pouty disgruntled looking model has turrned me off of more than one pattern
Jane W
would want to make it jacquard perhaps on the passap to get thick enough?
Sherrie B
Love that.
Jane W
almost done the pattern hand knit garter bulky
Jackie O
Assymetry is big right now in all fashion pieces from tops to skirts.
Elspa M
I look at handknitting patterns as a “form” and focus on the model and colours and not the teknic. Then almost everythin is possible

Lynda M I do sometimes knit the rib then proceed with the rest on the machine from a hand knitting pattern.
Nancy M
love working with a schematic... opens a lot of room for imagination
Phyllis K D
Knowing how to hand knit helps to understand what the machine is doing and what it can do.
Betty E J
for smaller details
Betty E J
hand knitting or crocheting is much more portable
Sherrie B
I love to finish a garment and then in the evenings I just keep adding crochet touches and I love the way it turns out.
Nancy M
i suppose the intralac could be done if you have absolutely nothing else to do.
Marie-Jo C
That's what I don't like with hand knitting too long : it's not quick enough for me !!
Nancy M
LOL TOO much trouble!
Sherrie B
Jean S. Me too!
Jean S
Sherrie B. - love the idea of a lacy poncho.
Kelly C
why not tuck
Sherrie B
The poncho would be beautiful in lace too. Or done on the bulky with tuck stitch and a thinner yard to mimic lace.
Nancy M
same for crochet learn enough to finish and to add trim
Kelly C
Hi Sue Kelly I hate to hand knit
Matthew F
Joan - is there a play button on the video you might have to hit that to start the show
Nancy M
did a raglan cardigan sideways for a client a few years ago... was a fun challenge
Jean S
For texture you could use a tuck stitch as well. My favorite shawl was a full tuck stitch piece.. Airy and comfortable at the same time

From Bridgnorth in England

I have knitted from a hand knitting pattern on my Brother knitting machine.
Nancy M
would 1x1 tuck to make mock seed st
Nancy M
i would try sideways knitted but without stripes
Joan W
Got it now thx
Nancy H
Good idea Betty
Annie L
I use hand knitting to enhance my machine knitting and use my machine to speed up parts of my hand knitting. My favorite garments contain hand and machine knitting and crochet.
Betty E J
use a punchcard for the insert
Nancy H
Yes Joan it has
Gio R
