I tried this with 2/24 yarn and ended up with a nice mess. The 1X1 ribbing worked fine, but when I started the pattern, it seemed that the needles were only gathering tucks, none were knitting off. I'm using a fine knit bar on a Studio 840 with the pattern drawn on a mylar.
In Stitch World are the white squares of the patterns the tuck/slip/2nd color sts and the black squares are the knit/1st color sts? For the EC-1 I only have to black in the tucking squares and to leave the knit ones blank. I did this by covering the Stitch World pattern with the mylar sheet (it fit perfectly) and penciled in the white squares because I thought they were the tucking squares.
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.
