| SHIRLEY R rubber wheel |
| Cynthia from New York State If you used a tughter tension for the faux ribbing for a hem, would that be better? Better than rhe tension that normally would be used? |
| Cindy Minota The faux ribbing would be great for the longer sweaters where I don't want it to hug (or pull in) for my bottom. I can see this as a perfect technique for sweater hems! |
| Karyn B Love the faux ribbing! |
| Richard B You're most welcome, Karyn |
| Nancy M tucking with color would be a great topic. |
| Barbara W Color uck is it possible with a manual machine? |
| Karyn B Thanks Richard B! |
| Richard B Karyn B - eBay, Geek or AlliExpress - search and you'll find the blank cards for sale. eBay for the punch machine. |
| Cynthia from New York State What happens with the tuck pattern when short rowing, or just increasing and decreasing stitches for armhole shaping? |
| Karyn B Where do you get prepunched cards or unpunched card material and the appropriate puncher to make your own? |
| Marie-Jo C Doesn't lace need another carriage ? |
| Nina L color tuck ... yes please |
| Cindy T does tuck help with correcting the bias? I have some nice single ply but it knits up with bias in stockinette |
| Barbara W Sue, did you knit it with a standard gauge? |
| Betty E J love knit it now...sue & matt ! |
| Richard B Love the new website homepage layout! Thanks! |
| SHIRLEY R colour tuck please S |
| I made a tuck stitch sweater about 30 odd years ago and can still wear it thanks to the tuck stitch. |
| Lorraine L yes color tuck |
| Dee Z. just a rough rule of thumb |
| Dee Z. Rule of thumb for tuck... if using tuck add 30% or 1/3 more rows to get same length as stockinette |
| Cindy T Cynthia from Indiana |
| Nancy R I made a sweater from the Butterfly tuck about 30 years ago on my bulky knitting. It was one of my favorites for several years. |
| Nancy M done is stripes the tuck makes great pattern. |
| Cynthia from New York State So, this butterfly tuck does not have as much tuck, so would not add as much width, right? |
| Betty E J with the time change this weekend when will the show be shown since arizonia does not change time? |
| Barbara W Lovely stitch! |
| Cindy Minota The tuck one row, knit one row gives the look of Fisherman's Rib. |
| Catherine Z I use tuck to knit dishcloths with leftover thin weaving cotton. |
| Nancy M this tuck faux ribbing is used in commercial sock cuffs a great deal with elastic thread added |
| Beverly P Hi from too cold to be Georgia in March! |
| Karyn B Is the ruffle in pieces? |
| Marie-Jo C Is tuck lace possible on a kh 260 ? |
| Cynthia from New York State So if you are shy a few needles on your machine, use tuck? |
| Richard B I've been excited to use slip and tuck in the same pattern, loving KIN704 stitch pattern from the library! |
