| Machine knitting yarns come in a huge variety of thicknesses, from bulky all the way down
to yarns as fine as sewing thread. Coned machine yarns are usually treated with an oil or waxy substance for a knitting machine. Because of this, the gauge and appearance of your knitted fabric will vary before and after washing. If you are knitting by machine or hand, you must wash your swatch before measuring your gauge because it shrinks or stretches. |
| Machine: Any knitting machine and ribber Ribber = knitting machine combined with the ribbing attachment ( if you don't have a ribber, knit rib by hand, then transfer your knitting knit to the machine ) Set up for 1 x 1 rib. (Instructions are for Brother ) Rack the ribber 1 space to right to get needles in Zig-Zag position. Brother; (P3). Important ; the right-and-left most outer stitch is on the Main bed . Thread yarn, knit 1 Zig-Zag row.  T = 0 on Both dials. Hang the comb, hang
weights on the comb. Set to circular rows; using the Part button on the K-carriage  and the opposite
Part button on the Ribber-carriage.
Knit 2 or 3 circular rows. Cancel part buttons on Both carriages, set dials to ribber tension. Rib for required amount. Return pattern to row number required, same number for electronics, For Brother - 1. ; press Part-buttons, than; press Memory button. 2. ; knit 1 row from right to left; Needles are now selected. Continue knitting in pattern (DON'T forget to press MC-button if you where knitting Fair Isle.) OR Press 1 row higher for punchcard machines. For more rib patterns go to my machine knitting page. First, pick your yarn and do a swatch, determine the right gauge, gauge is a matter of personal choice. The needle's position on the bed, together with the carriage settings, determines whether the stitch will knit, slip, tuck, or hold. COL = carriage on left COR = carriage on right HP = holding position. This is usually pos D or E, depending on brand of machine LH = left hand MY = main yarn RC000 = turn the row counter to 0 (zero) TD = tension dial WY = waste yarn. Options; Knit several rows with waste yarn, then start knitting with Main yarn, or remove with WY the knitting from the machine. |
