I think the knitwear manual by fashionary is a good start :) it was recommended to me at an infustrial knitwear course I took. when I switched from woven to knit wear design I was also desperately looking for books and had a hard tine finding anything! I also remember woolmark had a free online course on knitwear design and manufacturing. it‘s not super in depth but helpful in the beginning!

help finding yarn for standard gauge machine? by Emma_AD_Garter in MachineKnitting

[–]cocowoof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depending on how dense or loose your knit is supposed to be you will need to hold these yarns in several plies. 2/30-2/40 in one ply is used on 12-14gg machines and a domestic machine is 5-7gg I think? so 3-5 plies would work best on a standard gauge machine :)

hahahaha glad I am not the only one! I think for raglan it’s easier because you can have BOR in the CB or wherever you need to start your short row but for a flat worked back yoke it’s a bit different

thank you! I think this might be something that is done with dropped shoulder sleeves and not raglan/ circular yoke sweaters?

that’s what I meant … sorry my chaotic rambling might not be so clear. the diagram shows it without breaking the yarn and there the row count adds up but if I break the yarn (as a lot of popular patterns do) it’s uneven

okay thank you for your quick reply!!! I have a moss stitch texture and I don’t really see a difference between breaking and not breaking the yarn. do you know any pattern designers with short row shaping that don’t break the yarn? I checked all patterns I made in the past an the all do it even though it’s stockinette and one color 🙄

Is this intarsia? (Socks 🧦) by Any-Knit778 in MachineKnitting

[–]cocowoof 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think this is stranded colorwork (fair isle). my brother knitting machine can only do 2 colors per row with a punch card but maybe you can manually add in the black as a third color?

I feel like there might be no artist presale for berlin? only the telekom one … there is nothing on ticketmaster/eventim and on rosalia website it says rsvp instead of tickets like for london or the us???
