first complete

3 color double bed jacquard.minus one or two dropped stitches it's ok. scaled down the mage to 40 pixels and lost all figuring detail,but at this stage that's not important.
what i've learned so far :
two color dbj is easy
weights, weights and more weights.
keep an eye on the yarn feeders in the color changer
3 yarns working together need to be 20nm or less. less is more.
tension has to be evaluated according to yarns.  tension charts are extremely iffy. sample sample.
go slow passing the carriages.
try to let go the breath & enjoy.

now on to bigger pieces with more detail.back to the workhouse.

an epiphany during epiphany

the magi came and left bringing help from ravelry and an epiphany.

i am trying to tame the ribber beast and was doing ok until unexpectedly the ribber carriage started disengaging from the main carriage in mid pass.woe and woe and woe.

sensed it had to do with height alignment but wanted at all costs to avoid dismounting it.

sosed on ravelry and the folks there confirmed my hunch.it's an adjustment that can be done with the beast on, but being nº1 in the kludz championship i went ahead and unhooked it from the main bed.

fine and dandy, but i need an 8mm spanner which will be bought today to finish the job.i also need some leds to follow the next unit of the arduino course i'm doing.shopping day ahead.

this is going to be a year of studying: arduino, dbj knitting, learning to use my new digi cam, a composition course and whatever else comes around.

i don't make new year's resolutions but this looks as if applied myself.
