Sorry, I forgot to reply. I will get you the number I used.

Well... this is 2 years ago. I know the tension was 6. The yarn should have been a 2. I was using Loops and threads "wool like" from Michaels craft store for a lot of my projects back then. But... I will go check. I love that stocking and have it not far away.

Yes, the White yarn and red yarn are both Loops and Threads wool like - and it is a "1" which is "super fine" yarn. The thicker yarn used for the weaving was a Medium yarn.

Absolutely. That is the only reason I have it. One does have to be careful and align it perfectly. and go slow. I do not use it in my videos because it would not be fair to folks who do not have one.

I am having to relearn the passap after not using it for more then 3 months. Lots to remember. ArtofClay is a really good mentor and we are looking forward to knitting a few projects together soon.

@@CJMactaggartknits Great that will be awesome for both of you. Are you in the USA or Canada?

@@galaxythree4653 I am in canada, Art of clay is in Europe.

I am planning on making a few more videos on the passap - with the help from ArtofClay. I am sure I can figure out a way to do this hat on the passap, mittens too.

Which needle? do you mean the machine itself - it's spacing is 4.5mm.

My needle stock on my lace carriage I found a way to fix it. Now every time it knit it drop stitches

@@EnjuAhmed you should order some new ones. You can buy them on Ali Express you just need to make sure you order the right ones for your machine.

I will see if I can edit it in some way. Thank you for your suggestion.

I made some changes - let me know if they work.

Absolutely. I just need you to do a tension swatch and then share your tensions with me. Then I will post a Quick video on the Bulky for you. Please tell me your yarns name and I will put it in the video too.

I noticed that when I was editing. It's one of the many things I do not know until I edit.

AWESOME to hear !!! I am working on Mittens inspired by flat bed socks for Octobers knit a long.

no. not all. There is a chart in the manual which states which punch card work for which of the settings on the carriage. And if you bought a secondary set, they also have a index normally which tells you what they do. For example Weaving punch cards do not work for slip or tuck. And you would not use Lace punch cards for Fair isle etc.

@@CJMactaggartknits Thank you so much for this information. Sadly the charts you speak of did not come with my machine, in fact I don’t think the few punch cards I got are even the cards for my 360K. I’ve been doing trial and error and I have managed to do a Fair Aisle swatch (with much difficulty). I have had a lot of problems with this machine as some of the parts were missing and the white bar under the carriage was cracked and it would not knit. The person I bought it from did send me another piece of carriage that she had listed for parts only and I was able to use some of the parts from it to fix the carriage. I have had to replace bent needles, clean, and oil the machine. This is my first punch card/knit radar machine so I’m not really sure what I am doing. I do have the LK150 and even a Bond ISM, so I’m somewhat familiar with how these machines should work. I do enjoy your videos and learn from them. Thank you!

absolutely. But not everybody has one.

YES ! You are correct, BUT one has to remember it's backwards on the ribber So you would remove it on waste yarn - reverse it, hang it on the ribber, Then start section 2. One can also do the Sew as you knit when knitting the 2nd section to avoid having to seam it.

I have used needles of steel, and machine knitting etc. But I have also used Design a knit. Tell me more about what you are looking for in a pattern. Do you want V neck or crew? Pockets or no? cardigan or just a Really simple sweater?

@CJMactaggartknits I am only starting out I got 230 knitting machine from my sister and need some patterns that I can follow 😊

@@maryvanbree4482 Well then. A another great resource with LOTS of easy to follow patterns are on the "blog spot" for the Ultimate sweater machine. The USM has a similar tension to the KH 230, uses similar yarns, and the patterns are easy to follow. I will post the link for you. Because you are just learning to like your machine - for the USM patterns just used Tension 4 on the KH 230 to start. As you get used to your machine then go up or down on the tension dial. Also... make sure you change the sponge bar on your knitting machine.

@CJMactaggartknits thanks so much I was to a point of giving up till I saw your videos thanks again

The scallops are only on the base. I just finished the full sized scarf. It's pretty cool. I will post the photos on the facebook and then make it the thumb nails for the videos. I am going to see if I can get it on a maniquin for more photos today.

The full size project is coming up this week.

This one was 2 ply, craft store yarn. it's now discontinued. The only thing "like it" is 1 ply from Yeoman.

I think you will have enough stretch to be just fine

I did mine at T3 - which was way to tight.

End needle selection. When the only yarn is colour 1 - if you still have end needle selected, and you have removed colour 2, then you have a high chance of forgetting to push back the end needles before you knit back. I constantly forget to push back those end needles and my machine drops the end needles. That is why I was going kc1 and kc2. I am using Tension 7, and I think it's a bramwell 4 ply (it has no markings/label), however... This is yet another project for a member of my patreon group. So...as part of the deal with patreon members, they send me their tension swatch readings with their requested pattern, in the size they want to knit, and I make videos of me making the project, using all of their information. At the end of the event we compare our projects and we talk about it. She is using a cool yarn "softy" from Alma. Yarn Cutting - If I did not cut the yarn, then I would have long yarn floats, this just keeps those neat. It's easier to cut yarn 1 then to fish it in and out of the carriage door - yes I know you can do it, but I wanted to do it easy with out wiggling my carriage a lot and upsetting the pattern. And I will not have to much to weave in, I leave them long just so I can find them when I go to sew. All that being said - when we get into knitting the actual sweater I work smarter not harder and there is way less yarn tail creation. Oh...and... At 2 spots in the pattern I believe I have 3 rows of a solid colour, so just leaving the yarn in the yarn holder would be silly because it restarts on the opposite side of the bed. As for the machine choice...I wanted to ensure the KH940 that I was asked to sell is in perfect working order, so this is it's test run before I put it on the market to sell.

Oh yes... All I needed to do was turn off MC on the carriage and knit across. One of my mentor patreon members actually pointed it out to me. It took a little while for my brain to work it out and trust the science, in the next set of videos you will see a lot of mental growth and learning of new skills.

Of course you can. You can use your latch tool and reverse the stitches. Luckily it's not 30 rows, so easy peasy.

It is the edge pins or is your lace carriage sinker plate your issue. You need to ensure you clear the work and have enough space for the yarn shuttle to move to the opposite side of the bed.

@@CJMactaggartknits please I don’t understand what u mean by enough space…I have moved the edge pins 1 needle from the initial beginning of my work..then from my right side I moved the edges 2 needles away from my work…so far..it has not drop any stitches yet

@@lottopredictions3966 I mean you did not move your carriage far enough away from the edge of your fabric for the sinker plate's shuttle to move across.

@@CJMactaggartknits ohh is that also necessary 😳😳😳

I will try it out immediately thank you ma’am 🥰🥰

Every now and then they come up on Spartan Machine knitting. Otherwise... you might want to look into Design a knit and just avoid the mylars all together. I think Ebay (Sunny Choi) has also had a few mylars come in in the past.

@@CJMactaggartknits Thanks for the advice. Not quite set up to migrate to new DAK and peripherals. I have an older version (DAK 7) and I’m getting new studio space ready sometime late this year; I’ll reevaluate DAK 9 and a box then. In other news…In my uncluttering this past weekend I found 6 blank red Silver Reed mylars! I also experimented with the blank blue Brother mylars (I have a TON of those) and I figured out how to get the pattern and the buzzer and the movement instructions to read correctly from a Brother mylar into EC-1 and PE-1. The main thing is I want PE-1 to save and run the patterning so I’m not relying on the machine to physically manipulate the mylar each row.

@@JimiLux That is amazing. Those mylars are gold. Folks sell their PE-1's on ebay and etsy a lot. you can also contact Spartan Machine knitting - Troy sometimes gets singer parts in.

it might be. but I never know what the yarn needs until I start going.
