timber! timber! the brake,the brake!

with just some minor errors showing up in this piece i can say the beast has been tamed. at least with the yarn combination i used here. other yarns will have different parameters.

i am going to hack the image  further and knit it again. all i can say i am a very happy camper.

 lace like subtlety.
have a wonderful weekend!

what if

i add visual layers and repurpose all those tension swatches?
 this is a start, embroidery doesn't work unless a very heavy yarn is used. sort of an overkill i think.

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!

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.
