Questions and Answers
After purchasing a LK150 midgauge machine, our newest member, Lisa, has already knit a simple two color, rolled hem hat for her fiance. She said it was tricky to decrease at first but learned how to transfer stitches with great success after a few tries.
She started out practicing on a few swatches and then made a simple rectangle hat for a baby that her handknitting group makes to donate for their local hospital.
Lisa has only had her machine for less than one week.She is a hand knitter taking the plunge into the world of machine knitting.
A chic wrap is easy as pie with the two rectangular pieces that Sharon used to make this charming pullover poncho. She makes it look so simple!
Narrow claw weights can be made from old stainless steel forks by bending the ends of the tines and drilling a hole in the handle to accommondate hanging a ribber weight.
Q: Why do hand knitters and machine knitters deride one another?
A: Is a sculptor less artistic than a painter? It is artistic expression using a preferred method! What we create is a work of art. It is painting by the number perhaps, but still beautiful!
