the algorithm

all that can go wrong when knitting (and then some more)

upper tension masts, yarn can disengage or get tangled

tension and main carriage setting

                                       

ribber settings and tension

yarn does not feed properly( causing a dreaded free pass precipitating knitting to the floor)

yarn gets caught in gate pegs- knitting bunches up

forget to change colors

but when it all works  properly together it is exhilarating!

neki desu

of process

3 color double bed jacquard, what a mouthful!the mishaps multiplied by 3 yarns can grow exponentially.  

funny how in weaving for me a 20/2 cotton is on the thick side whereas in machine knitting it is considered fine. set the machine, tension dial and tension mast for thickish yarn and you have a tension problem. then the right amount of weight and whether to use the fine knitting bar or not.

to sum it up; a weekend of sampling, learning the ins and outs and clothing myself with a cloak of patience.

 Asturias,Oviedo. in this case no news is bad news.(╯︵╰,)

looks like i'll be here till the day i die.
