I am just loving these projects you are doing on the USM. I did have one of these, but could not make it work for me. I do love machine knitting and hope to make these on my LK150. I also have a KH260 and KH930 with ribbers and a passap pinkasaurus. Your blog and videos has been my knitting machine bible. God bless you for sharing your machine knowledge!!
i have knitted along with you so far with the hat and scarf on my bond and are amazed with the results so are you going to make a video on these gloves or a pattern.
i read that you couldn't do short rowing properly on the previous pair of mittens. short rowing can be done on the usm or ism. If you press down on the nose of the carriage "slightly" so the yarn catches in the hooks properly. this also works for tuck stitch.
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.
Diana,

ReplyDeleteYes, a pattern anyway, although the lovely long weekend is about over. Work tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThese took me a while - I had fitting issues! Think I finally have it now.

ReplyDeleteWow, I've got to try that short-row tip.
ReplyDeleteI made a cool short-rowed project (not photographed or up yet) but it was a one-way slant, not like the toe shape I wanted to that one kind of mitten.
The pictured mittens have no short row shaping.
