  • @c33r0k33 Update on the idiot cord. It does improve how the knitting 'sets'. On my Brother KH 341 it takes a few more motions to get it done. Good news is even on a bargain basement machine it can be done. I did feel initially I didn't make it to the idiot grade, but after hearing Diana's description and reading my manual a workaround was figured out. ...I set the dial for 'Part' and every other row move the needle group from B to D to get both the right skip and knit on the needles.

  • I'm thinking this is the rosetta stone I'm looking for to save my simple blanket this knitting beginner is donating from curling. Thank you for posting this.

  • Tried to do this on a Knitmaster 700 but I can't see a way to simply set the carriage to slip in one direction? The workarounds I came up with involve either bringing the needles to holding position every other row (and setting the carriage to not knit them) or purposely disengageing/freeing the carriage itself, in order to slide it over the other side without kniitting. I'm hoping there's an easier way... help, anyone?

  • attached i-cord on the knitting machine. Why didn't I think of this.

  • Thank you so much for offering these....they are amazing!!

  • I just bought a machine and your videos are the best way to learn. Thank you! :)

  • This is so helpful, clear and precise, as are all your lessons.  As a learner and male to boot, just wanted to say thank you!

  • WOW, how AWESOME! :D

    I love the way that icord looks around knitted projects but I felt I would never have the patience to do it by hand, this is really great ^_____^

  • Thanks, Diana :-) I've made i-cord and didn't know that slipping one way made such a difference. Now I know how to use it for trim :-) Thank you! Sheila

  • Diana, what a great video! All of your videos are FANTASTIC! You are a very good teacher, thanks for doing this for machine knitters, I am sure all beginners will be so happy with them.
