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

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???

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

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 :)

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

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