Just printed it off and added it to my very long "To Knit List"<br /><br />http://www.helenengusa.com/apps/blog/entries/show/3081150-the-purple-shrug<br /><br />Thank you for asking this question Julia, I am a beginner machine knitter and have been looking for a shrug pattern too. I have knit from diagrams twice and think this one will be easy to follow. Thanks also to TracyKM for pointing me in the right direction.rhominhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13308320208268747411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-40704974241720169922012-08-15T12:27:20.803-05:002012-08-15T12:27:20.803-05:00for the shrug pattern allthough this is a handknit...for the shrug pattern allthough this is a handknitted shrug, I think it can be done easy on the machine. Pattern can be found on Ravelry here http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/circular-shrug and here you can see some more pics http://2malig.myblog.de/2malig/art/2690059#lastcomm<br /><br />Diana, thank you for the report on the knit-in.

You are going to love the 860, I have had one and it's all pleasure. One of my favorites that is packed away is the 891, what a smooth one!<br /><br />Pass on my email to Amber if she needs help withe the whitening. <br /><br />Thank for making me smile, off to knit...a sock.Tom Machine Knitting Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17635139814600375477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-73050755533730192532012-08-14T20:14:43.818-05:002012-08-14T20:14:43.818-05:00http://theanswerlady.com/snugasabugcocoonsformachi...http://theanswerlady.com/snugasabugcocoonsformachineknitters.html These are for various machines, but most need a ribber. <br /><br />The Machine Knitter's Treasure Chest http://www.needlesofsteel.org.uk/index.html has tons of MK patterns listed.Alysha in KYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-11009012870244163202012-08-14T17:30:09.252-05:002012-08-14T17:30:09.252-05:00THere used to be a great shrug generator, but now ...THere used to be a great shrug generator, but now I think it's a paid pattern. It's not from "The Diet Diary/Knitting Fiend", it's from another popular MKing designer....Helen Griffiths, maybe? You might be able to find it through Ravelry. Also, the Bond website has a couple of simple shrugs that could be altered for different gauges.TracyKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498896222222982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-71427291350486977362012-08-14T15:42:03.081-05:002012-08-14T15:42:03.081-05:00That's a hard one, but it can be done.

The general drill is, you hand-knit three stitches or 4 stitches or whatever width you need in waste yarn in 2 places - the inside of the hem and the outside of the hem. Then you finish the buttonholes by sewing around them, putting the two layers together.Diana L.

I am going just great with my knitting machine. Please can you help with doing a buttonhole in a mock rib border? Is this possible, and how would you do it? Regards and thanks as always for all your super lessons.Ruthnoreply@blogger.com
