In a pinch, this will work up good. I did use the mock rib on a sweater once, but where I do have the ribbers, I can work it that way. But sometimes to get out the ribber to what machine I have out, can be a bother. Now when it comes to the bulky or mid-gauge machines, I may also hand knit the ribbing. That gives me time to sit in my comfy chair other than sewing up what I have made. Berda
True, I am working for a client on Origami pullover. It has 1/1 ribbing allover and I dont have a ribber. I use Toyota KS950. When I took up the work the client told me its stockinett stitch, so I happily took it up. But the pattern when it came said 1/1 ribbing. So for the front piece which is 9 inches wide and 38" long, I knitted stockinet and unravelled every other stitch and reformed to purl them. Now I am working on the back piece, which is 20" wide and 68" long. For this one I dint have the patience to unravel and reform, so I did mock ribbing at tension dial 10 and I am reforming the purls now. The client is gonna give me another Origami pullover to do. But good sense prevailed and I ordered a Toyota ribber, which is on its way.
Oh that reminds me of working up lace, transferring EOS over to the next needles on the first KX350 for sleeves. I would do maybe 10 rows of that at a time. It did finally get done but now I want to make that with one of my standard machines with the lace carriage. And that sweater had a longer then normal ribbing, I think 50 rows or rib but that was also with some baby yarn. Glad you are getting a ribber, it helps in may ways but makes machine knitting twice as fun. Berda
Do you think it would work on a cuff when making socks?
I do not see why not, just make sure the cast on is loose and not too tight for the leg.
That's a good idea!
