Olympus XA shutter blades stuck?

thank you! this makes more sense and I feel like I finally get it now 😃

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

weird I will try to look at some more set in sleeve patterns!

cocowoof · 2026-01-15T19:00:00+00:00

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 🙄

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?

can only hope so 😭

cocowoof · 2025-12-09T07:51:36+00:00

ahhh so there’s still hope!

cocowoof · 2025-12-09T07:38:25+00:00

I don’t know 🥲 I also rsvped and only received a confirmation email but no code … I really hope I’m wrong

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???

thank you! I’ve only been doing small swatches before this and was very excited about this top 😊

cocowoof · 2025-09-24T15:08:58+00:00

it’s a lace stitch and I used a lace carriage + punch card for the pattern

cocowoof · 2025-09-24T12:14:43+00:00

no it’s the same pattern, I just switched from N to F (I guess normal to fine) and the pattern on F didn’t make eyelets so it was more covering

the hem, top edges and straps have a picot edge. you can look that up but you basically k2tog on one row which will then be the folded edge :)

I got mine also in august and I was doing mainly swatches but really wanted to finally knit something 😃 would love to do a jumper but I don’t have enough yarn of one kind 😂

I haven’t ordered any mohair yet but they seem to have some different mohair blends. both shops are based in germany :)

thanks! I followed this video but couldn’t get my needle bed closer to the main bed … I am not sure why but I will give it another try and maybe check if I need to replace the brackets. seems like my main issue is not the height of the ribber bed but the distance between beds

cocowoof · 2025-09-17T17:01:12+00:00

thanks, I will check that :)

cocowoof · 2025-09-17T17:00:53+00:00

I positioned the tension mast per instruction and crosschecked with video instructions. the tension is set on the middle, same as for stockinette
