black cherries, tuck samples

and the lace carriage is not working. because i have to learn and become comfortable with the whole electronic set up   i am sampling the patterns that are in the user's manual, my only liberty was the color choice.


all cool, fair isle, tuck stitch and two color tuck.

but the lace sample is not going anywhere. there's something 

i can't fathom that prevents the carriage from selecting the 

needles and it just knits stockinette. going to start sending s.o.s. messages in the various lists and ravelry.

i am sure it's a totally silly something, but it escapes me.

when i get frustrated i go back to the loom and weave .

nothing like old friends.

from high tech to low tech

create a file  in ps at least 6x6 pixels .choose a color( some work better than others)  use flood fill  .
open pre sets and load alices's crepe action.run it; save the crepe pattern as bitmap. load it to your weaving program and voila!you have an original crepe to weave. on straight draw. what a blessing!

i took this to my 12 shaft table loom and am happily weaving  away .





sometimes one delights in the juxtapositions of high and low tech.
