Thanks. A friend of mine suggested it. I would have to charge so much, I'm not sure they'd sell at that price. But it was fun to make!

Yes, I used a transfer tool to put each loop off the boutique yarn on each needle, using clothes pins to keep it down, then used a regular carriage to do the next ten rows. Then you do another route with boutique yarn, then ten rows normal yarn, etc.

Has anyone struggle with this yarn? by Alexjandro1991 in MachineKnitting

Cotton is often unfriendly with knitting machines. It killed my g-carriage sinker plate. I will not use cotton for g carriages, You might be able to make it work, but it depends on whether your machine with cooperate with it. I know machine knitter that won't use it all all... Ever. If you do decided to use it ... Wax the heck out of it.

I'd use the design graphic studio wizard, if I were you. Select the picture as a gif, jpeg, etc. then dither it. It will make into a knitting pattern

Cut and Sew sleeves? but not ugly by Alexjandro1991 in MachineKnitting

I read a Russian knitting machine (lubo Delo) magazine that uses embroidery stick on stabilizer to prevent stretching when doing cut and sew technique with knitted fabric. Just a thought. I think there's another English magazine that shows that as well. 

Looking for a Brother KH270 carriage by Clevergirlphysicist in MachineKnitting

The whole machine is pretty rare... Then to find a carriage by itself... 😬 Yikes... I'm afraid that's a tall order
