- Diana L. Sullivan, CPA
- Austin, Texas, United States
- 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.
WOW! I really need to practise turning cables.
ReplyDeleteWould this be possible to do on the ribber? Has anyone tried?
Sure, I've done complex cables on the ribber. You have to think about whether it's worth it and how much hand manipulation you have to do.
ReplyDeleteOne thing to look at is my woven cable garter bar lesson. A gorgeous Aran cable, and not all that much work.
I'll check out the garter bar lessons again.
ReplyDeleteI am considering to buy a garter bar (finishing jumpers and cardies must be SO much quicker if you're using a garter bar for stich holder!) Are they different for different brands of machines?
I assume the garter bar itself would be the same as long as the needle pitch is right, I am more thinking about the needle stopper. Do they come in different makes for different machines?
The Japanese garter bars came with needle stoppers. Any machine was okay as long as you had the right needle pitch. I noticed that some of the dealers have them in stock and very reasonable prices, at least standard gauge ones. Other sizes are just impossible to find.
ReplyDeleteKris Basta's garter bars cover those other sizes. She's making several mid-gauges and a 9 mm bulky. You do have to buy the stopper separately.
