is there a way to manually double bed e-wrap on a Passap? i usually end up doing a tubular cast-on, but i'd like to know whether or not a wrapping method exists.

@batmanandbobbin..... You could try doing a cast on in WY for the needle set up you want. Then do a circular row with ravel cord (important so you can pull the ravel cord out later). Then do a loose ewrap in the hooks. I'm concerned about trying this, as the japanese machines have a hard time knitting that first row, and without being able to pull n's all the way out, I really don't know if it will work. Knitting off that first row manually might be necessary. Let me know how it works! :) TWD

@batmanandbobbin ...I should add, that after casting on in WY, knit several rows. Then knit the circular row with ravel cord, then pick up your main yarn and do the ewrap, etc.

Hi,

I would recommend any books by Mary Anne Oger, Mary Weaver and Tami Nobuyuki. Knitwords magazine is also full of great patterns and articles. Have fun with your knitting! TWD :)

Can you show me how to hang the comb? I am new. Then the second row what is the needle position? I can not hear you well. Thanks

Hi! Center the comb beneath the beds and with the comb wire removed (not all the way, just enough to clear the comb teeth that will be used) push the comb up so that it goes through the knitting and is above the needles in work. Then replace the wire, pull the comb down slightly and hang weight(s). For the next row, push all needles in work out to E(D) and knit across. After that, it is helpful to put the end needles on both beds, carriage side to E(D) before knitting each row. Hope this helps!

Great video. Well done. Can you recommend a double knitting wool (preferably machine washable) for a Brother KH 270 and KR 260 ribber. I am looking for a brand with a wide range of colours. Thanks.

Thanks. The books with the ribber don't show it as a video does!

Thank you so very much! I have been having struggling to get a nice edge on a rib:))) Do you know if there a way to cast on with a waste yarn?

Great job with the video, and the pace is just right. I only bought my Brother 965i a few days ago, and am very glad you have posted these.
