Diana, thank you for all of the excellent techniques and advice. You are a fantastic teacher!!!
Amazing! I'm a men's sweater designer and been in the Apparel industry in NYC for many years...your inspiring me back to my knitting machines and teaching me so much also... love how you teach, so easy to follow...thank you!
Diane you are a Saint, this is just what I wantend. Thank you very much. I also look twice before i start knitting a row.
Iam loving tour work!
Thank you for to learn us!
Me encanta su trabajo, saludos desde Perú.
Thank you very much! It is a great technique. I am going to try it as soon as possible.
Я предполагала, что можно связать рисунок и на двух фонтурах, но с большим усердием. Спасибо за то, что вы подробно это показали
Whao que buen video 😍
Thanks. This was just what I was thinking of 👏Have learn so much from your videos. But, yes a but 😉 I have an old Toyota 901. Witch "buttons" do I have to choose?
شكرا لكي واو👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Спасибо, попробую повторить. Моя мечта - носки круговым вязанием с узором.
Thank you so much for sharing your patterns. I would need so much practice. Do you sell the patters uses or cost. If you sell them let me know . Barbara W
Thanks for another great video! I have the exact machine you r using… I have a stupid question, since I am just a very beginning knitter. Since you r doing this manually, does it mean the built in patterns will not work with that configuration? The circular knitting?
The built-in patterns won't work in any easy automatic way for this. All the ribber needles have to be hand-pulled, since the ribber doesn't have patterning.
This is so fascinating! Can this be done without a color changer device?
Yes. You need to be careful, though that each color is properly threaded.
thank you! i asked on facebook but only got 2 responses by people that didn't understand what i was asking.
Hi Diana, I hope you can help me please. Im looking for accessories for my Pfaff 6000. A U100e, tricofit and programmable page for designs.
Hello Diana ; you almost solved my problem with this technique video ;
Would it be possible to machine knit circular , but not doing the selecting by hand ; using the main bed to make the design and just plain knit the front bed ?
Using two colors ..would mean to adapt a pattern; but how ?
I am trying to make a hair band; it’s a long tube , the design would be on one side … the other side would get striped I guess ?
I use a brother electroknity KH 940
Than you so much for all your posts I really learned a lot over the years.

I am not at home and cannot experiment but I do think it is possible. Both carriages on slip only selected needles knit. Knit I color. Change settings to knit across on ribber. Deal with 2nd color. Possible but probably easier to hand pick.
thanks for this idea, i am still working on it ... i ‘ll let you know if the outcome is what i want : )
@@blueyesanna9529 Did you manage it? 🙂
Your help is wonderful thank you. Love your videos. My knitting never clears the outer teeth just keeps adding row after row. What am i doing wrong. I push the knitting off the teeth and start with weighs hung again but it still wont knit past the last set off teeth.
Please email me with some more information. What model is it? Are you using a comb or cast-on rag? Did you buy from a dealer who gives lessons? Where do you live? You probably need to find a dealer or knitting club and get some in-person help. to email me go to my blog, www.diananatters.blogspot.com and find the email icon, then click on that.
Thank you. I pulled the long needle holder out to change needles. We figured out the foam was worn out put new in and it pushes the needle like it’s supposed to. It works great now. Kh-910. Machine was in my neighbors garage for years.
@@Gigiknittingandmore Wow, great news!
Do you think I can use it for sock knitting? Thanks for the video ❤
Perhaps you could. I generally avoid floats in socks, though. Socks receive hard wear and lots of washes, and of course you can catch floats pulling the socks on.
Delighted to find this, thank you! I'm a knitting machine newbie, a professional handweaver wanting to quickly develop a knit range of products, just researching which metal flatbed to buy. Fairisle tubes are a part of my plan, including sweater-sized tubes. Can a punchcard be used for the flat bed needles when knitting a tube, or must both the flat and rib bed needles be manipulated by hand always? (Presumably a punchcard machine can be used with the punchcard disabled/off/removed?!) Many thanks for any and all replies - I'm living in rural France and have two handicaps, one being the technical language, so discussion in English of technical questions online is super-useful!
I don't have a practical approach to using punch cards or electronics for tubular fair isle. A little hand-counted fair isle is a nice embellishment as shown in the video, but not a beginner technique or fast. Punch cards don't work on Japanese home machines, so you'd still be hand-counting the ribber. I have a few ideas about how you might do it, but nothing really efficient or practical. I think as a beginner it's not for you, at least for a while. What you want to do is focus on what the machines CAN do, not what you did as a hand knitter, and adjust to those parameters, especially if you're producing products. Knitting flat is the most efficient if you want patterning, and I push people to learn to seam beautifully and create all kinds of difficulties just to avoid seams.
@@dianaknits Thanks ever so much Diana. Just to check: where you say 'punch cards don't work on Japanese machines', you mean, 'punch cards don't work on the ribbers of Japanese machines', right? I'm literally about to complete a transaction on a Japanese machine (SK700) with ribber (SRP60), and I very much hope the punch card will work on the flat bed at least! :-) And yes, I hear you; although I'd love to avoid seams on tubular dresses and wristmits, I agree that seams can be beautiful nonetheless, and I've found that even on thick walking socks a seam is not uncomfortable. I was thinking of knitting (fairisle) tubes for sock ankles and feet and then taking them off the machine to hand-knit the heels and toes. One's style is so often determined by what one CAN'T do as much as by what one CAN, isn't it - the quirky workarounds?! But yes, speed and efficiency are the whole reason I'm buying a knitting machine - to produce elaborate designs quicker than I can weaving on a handloom. So I do need to find the most practical ways. Thanks again. Eloïse #neverabeginnerforlong ;-)
PS Are there non-Japanese machines where punch cards work on the ribbers? Brothers?
I do not know of any home knitting machines that pattern on both beds, except for the very rare and rather industrial (very large, too) Passap E6000, which is an out-of0-productio European machine. I have only ever seen one once, and the lady I know who has it has not used it as far as I know. There are a few older Passap dealers who know how to use them. It is most definitely NOT a beginner's machine, but if you have enough information and determination, I suppose you could find one and learn it. Really, I do encourage you to learn everything you can about the machine you have and then focus on the wonderful things that it does very well.
The Studio 700 is a winderful machine (I have one0 and of course the punch cards work on the main bed. Sorry to mislead - I work up these comments rather quickly. As for seamless socks, our fanciest shoe store in Austin sells Fair Isle socks with seams! I can't stand a seam on my foot unless it's a hand-stitched flat seam or a soft sew-as-you-go seam. I even graft every toe because I hate a lump there. @@eloisesentito3421
Anyone knows is this can be done on a Silver Reed electronic? I can´t seem to find out
I haven't personally done it, but certainly. You cannot use the electronics to do the fair isle, though. You will have to hand pick the needles, since the ribber doesn't pattern.
Hi @@dianaknits - thanks a lot for your answer. I have tried it manually like you do on your nice video :) It is working fine on the ribber, as the setting is the same as on the Brother - but I have tried every setting on the main carriage without any luck. Often I find there is a little trick that I just don´t know about - I would love to know that trick, if any 😁 Anyway - thanks for all of your very instructional videos. 👍
I'm sure you can do it, but I don't have the equipment right now to try it out. @@ibenandersen8396
Subtítulo en español por favor. Saludos de Perú.
CZcams does not do this automatically. If some kind Spanish speaker would like to do this, that would be wonderful.
So, if the color changer leaves one messed up side, why bother? Just knit the fair-isle flat and seam it. You can match the pattern up better that way. I don't understand the point?
As said on the video -- to learn the technique. Also, I can easily imagine doing this for a few rows of fair isle on a sleeve bottom and continue the sleeve in circular stockinette.
This is usually nice when you are making a circular garment and just want a little embellishment. I made a child's round yoke sweater this way and the only color work was around the yoke. That was a non-patterning machine with a ribber, so no matter what I did, I was going to have to hand-count the Fair Isle.
Oh, and BTW, that's an excellent question! I am glad to see you focusing on what the machine is designed to do and not so much on trying to make it behave like you're hand knitting!
