It's pretty easy. All needles are in work on the ribber, and don't forget to set the pitch so the ribber needles are inbetween the main bed needles. The ribber carriage is set for plain knitting.
The patterning happens on the main carriage. The selected main bed needles are knitted, and the unselected ones just have the yarn laid in them and are not knitted through.
I'm an avid machine knitter. I was the first YouTube creator to upload free machine knitting lessons. My goal was to get people to see these wonderful machines in action, Consider joining my Facebook group, “Knitting with Diana Sullivan,” where 9,000 members share their projects, ideas, and questions on just one topic: knitting! This is a happy, accepting place to share your MK challenges and projects.
I offer classes and patterns that make knitting easier and more fun, with key techniques shown, plenty of color photos, clear unabbreviated language, meticulous finishing techniques, and inventive solutions for better results.
I'm a retired CPA. My husband John and I will be married 50 years on December 21, 2024, and we live in in Austin, Texas. We have two adult sons and a beautiful daughter-in-law. John collects and fixes antique motorcycles, and also has a Model A.

Hi, Carmen -

Ok now I am going to try it!
