Thank you so much, your videos are incredibly wonderful. How generous of you to share your knowledge.
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know the video ribber lesson #5 comes up as lesson #1, the e-Wrap Cast On.
Again thank you so much.
Thanks! I think I fixed it now. Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Diana
ReplyDeleteJust a note to say that the Ribber Lesson 5 - E-Wrap Cast-On for Ribbing video is coming up as Lesson 7.
I love your videos and really look forward to many more.
kind regards
Cathy
I would never figure out how to use my machine without your videos. Thank You!!!
ReplyDeleteBeing able to see exactly what should be done is so much easier than trying to read a manual.
Kudos to you!
I think I fixed lesson 5's link. Third time's a charm, I hope?
ReplyDeleteYour videos are excellent, thank you very much for helping fellow knitters.
ReplyDeleteHi Diana
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for fixing your lesson 5 link. (e-wrapping)
I really love your videos and hope you will make many more. I have a transfer carriage that I have tried to use with my Brother 891 machine and 850 ribber but it ends up jamming on the needles. I'm just about to give up with it. Would you have any advice as to what I may be doing wrong? I have checked the needles on the main bed and the ribber but still cannot work it.
I have look at another Youtube video (isrbrown) where the lady uses the transfer carriage and she makes it look so easy.
I would appreciate any advice you could offer.
kind regard
Cathy
Cathy,
ReplyDeleteI have a Brother transfer device, which I seldom use. For a while I used it all the time, but it created a lot of wear and tear on the needles. I got tired of changing the needles because the transfer device bent them slightly. I was SO frustrated that the needles were bent just enough to mess up when knitting but not enough to be obvious. I had to hunt to find the problem needles and then replace them.
The garter carriage doesn't work well at all if any needles are a little bent. So, finally I decided that the Brother transfer carriage wasn't saving me any time at all and was causing too much frustration.
The Passap transfer device is easier because you can rack the ribber bed into an in-between position so the needles are very close together. The Brother device has to move the knitting across the needles when they're aren't right together, and it does it by bending the needles a little.
I also have a Shadow Lace Tool, also called "Jaws." It moves 20 stitches at once, and it isn't hard on the needles. I have done a garter bar video where you move 50 at once - you might try that, too.
All these methods require some patience and practice. There is something almost magical about learning on swatches you don't care about instead of the project you're dying to make!
Hello Diana
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your reply, which I really appreciated. I have given up on the transfer carriage, as like you said it keeps bending my needles also.
I have just recently bought a garter bar set, so I will let you know how I get on with it.
kind regards
Cathy
Hi Diana,
ReplyDeleteI just want to thank you for your wonderful video's. I first saw them on Youtube and spent one day just watching them all!!! Fantastic!

Thank you so much for your video on knitting socks on a standard machine. I have been trying to knit socks using the circular stitch without much success. Your video is so well done and very easy to follow. It is exactly what I need.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
wow! i wish my ribber was as well behaved as yours! jammed needles, sttitched dropped, woll tangled...it's a nightmare!
ReplyDeleteCan't encourage you enough to practice all the ribber lessons with swatches. Your ribber will probably behave better if you do!
ReplyDeletei'm trying but, it doesn't get very far!
ReplyDeleteI just love your videos and have watched them many times. I have a suggestion for a future video. The manual is very unclear and I wondered if you could show how to adjust the height of a brother ribber. My carriages keep coming coming apart and I think it is because the height is wrong. Thank you for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteThere is a nice guide on Ebay(of all places) on attatching and adjusting a Brother ribber. It is in 2 parts. Can't remember it's exact title, but it can be found with a google search, and is very clear and includes pictures.
ReplyDeleteHello Diana!
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much for your lessons, they're great!
I have two questions about the sock lesson though:
1) How many rows do I need to do for the foot?
2) Everything went perfect until the foot. I was about to start the circular knitting, but the ribber carriage just wouldn't do it's part, it got stuck each time. I think it was set correctly, what could have gone wrong?
Thanks again!!

I love all your ribber videos, they are amazing. I was wondering about something you didn't cover, though. How do you make a guage swatch with a ribber? I have a standard guage machine and the instructions in the manual aren't very clear.
ReplyDeleteHi, Diana;
ReplyDeleteI understand the circular knitting with the ribber to make a stockinette tube, but I was wondering: Is it possible to make a ribbed tube by just using EON instead of every needle for 1x1 rib, and if so, couldn't that just be done for the cuff of the sock instead of having to seam?
No, you can't make tubular ribbing on a flatbed knitting machine. What you're talking about will make a flat piece of 1x1 ribbing.
ReplyDeleteFlatbed socks will always need a ribbing seam.
Thank you so much Diana, I may never ever know how to use my machine as easily as you seem to make it seem, but because of you I have a place to go so that I can try. God Bless you and thank you so very very much for your generosity.
ReplyDeleteDonna
Gracias por los videos, me es de mucha utilidad. Explica claramente. Felicitaciones
ReplyDeleteDiana, I've been reading and studing your videos on ribber. Very helpful and seems easy. Thank you for doing such a great job!
ReplyDeleteIf I could only can get brave enough to attach my ribber to the main bed!
Have you ever thought about putting together a simle video on how to set up a ribber?
I am sure many of us would praise you forever!
A pleasure to learn with you Diana!

Love your videos, would like to see on putting the machine together. keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteIs there a tutorial on making button holes with a ribber. I did them manually in the past using Bond patterns but now have a bulky machine and a ribber but can't find instructions for buttonhole with KR 260 ribber.
