Hi Davie, how many stitches can you do in rib cast ons? I am only doing 32 left and rigth of 0, and it is very hard, because the ribber carriages are in the way of the brackets. I even moved the brackets to the ends of the bed. Should I add extensions to the main bed? I think that would help, do you? I guess I would have to exstend both beds?
@daviemac9925
@daviemac9925 8 ай бұрын
The brackets shouldn't be in the way, they're underneath the beds. The problem with just the original 100 needle beds and the Ribber Carriages is running them to the end they come off. 40 each side is probably the limit. you can knit If you can get hold of them, fit the extension kits. What I ended up doing with my Ribber was getting the extension kit and using it with the Classic Plus.

@@knit1924 Hello. I've never seen a video on fitting the Ribber extension, You take the metal plate off the main Ribber and join the extension the same way as you did the main bed. Then refit the metal plate so it covers the extension, fill the gap in at the other end by attaching the metal plate that comes with the Ribber extension kit. It's really important that you do it this way round, if you replace the Ribber plate as was and fit the extension plate to the new piece, it could snap off when knitting.

@@annesummers09 If it's the USM Ultimate Sweater Machine, there was a design fault with them. Unfortunately, they are now out of business, the only thing to do is to try and get hold of an older carriage and keyplates and if that doesn't solve the problem, we aren't going to be able to. They said it was an issue with the moulding of the plastic parts, unlike Bond UK they contracted everything out, whereas here everything was made on site. I'm sorry this isn't the positive outcome I like for people.

Hi The circular cast on is just a way of making a closed edge cast on when working on a twin bed set up, it's complicated to knit a circle but can be done. You would need to cast on all needles on both sides and knit the back bed then the front, that's the only way to do it. Every row you would have to stop and change the keyplate over from one side to the other.

When you're knitting regular rows with all your working needles at the regular working position, it doesn't matter whether they're open or not, as they will open automatically and close again as you knit across the row. If you have needles in the forward position, then you do need to check before knitting that latches are open, or you'll lose the stitches! The brush is OK if you haven't got a cut off credit card.
