Ribber Cast On

[@marthamckeon278]

Going to practice this ASAP - just bought my first ribber, and have had lots of struggles with the manual's instructions. Love that you start with waste yarn. Great video, I've taken 2 of your craftsy classes years ago, and still refer to them often. Thanks for all you do!

[@nycGWOD]

This is was so so useful- thank you Susan. I just followed this method using my Silver Reed and after a few iterations (adjusting the tension to suit my yarn), the ribbed edge it produced is beautiful, neat and elastic.

[@Cariboolife]

Perfect demonstration of what took me years to learn. Lucky for the new machine knitters that discover you right from the start of their journey. Thank you for sharing!

[@SusanGuagliumi]

Aw, thanks!

[@LesPetitesBisous]

You are a goddess Susan!! I tried all ways to cast on with my ribber and get a good outcome, followed loads of videos, the terrible manual that came with the machine and text instructions but only yours actually worked and worked beautifully!! Thank You!!! :-D

[@sonialorenzo9223]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love your book but the basics Ashe also so important.

[@joanie1301_]

I love this method. The results really are stunning. Thank you :)

[@strickweisschen2576]

I make with the waste yarn the 2 last rows like: Carriage on the main bed: on S-J , knit 1 row, carriage on the double bed : 0-1, than I start with main yarn, so you need NO nylon cord! and it save time!

[@dorothyhimsley6558]

Thank you for the ribbing demo. What a perfect ribbing cast on result.

[@annerestell2495]

Thank you! Very helpful!

Hi Susan. Are you voice behind the LK150 dvd I "always" refer to??????

[@BenAyres100]

Hi Susan: Thanks for all or your helpfull videos, but any chance that you have one for a 2x2 rib cast on? It doesn't seem to be as straight forward as a 1x1 (at least; I have not had any success with it)

[@amandaellis7366]

Hi what type of knitting machine you are using?

[@Bibi-ms4nm]

This is such a pretty rib, thank you! I wonder why you knit only two circular rows. Are there any advantages compared to three circular rows?

[@SusanGuagliumi]

I think it looks more like a hand knit edge. If you are happy with the 3 circular rows keep doing it that way. I think the Japanese machines show the 3 rows to help compensate for the angle of the ribber to therein bed and the way it affects stitch formation.

[@Bibi-ms4nm]

@@SusanGuagliumi Thank you!

[@Katm1n]

This is such a beautiful rib. Thank you

[@mayatoddtextilestudio]

Thanks for the brilliant video!! I have recently found that when I bring my carriage across for the first time in order to cast on not all needles on my ribber are engaging and hence not knitting! Do you know if this is a common problem or easily fixable?

[@sonialorenzo9223]

I love the final product and I am hoping on replicating this on my Brother machine.

[@SusanGuagliumi]

It works on ALL machines!

[@mizdottie8048]

I'm doing something wrong. >: - / I've tried this twice now with the second time carefully taking down notes to follow. Both times when I pull the ravel cord I have live stitches on my main yarn and the cast on edge comes unraveled. This ribbing edge is so gorgeous and I want to be able to do it - I just cannot figure out what I'm missing. I'm doing the zig-zag row after the ravel cord, then the two rows of slipping on one bed and knitting on the other and reversing the other way, then onto plain knitting for my ribbing (incrementally raising the stitch size each pass). Any suggestions would sure be appreciated!

[@SusanGuagliumi]

When you say two rows of slipping on one bed and then switching, it makes me wonder - you should be knitting one row on (for example) the ribber bed, while the main bed slips and then knitting one row on therein bed while the ribber slips. Not two rows on one bed. See if that is the problem.

[@mizdottie8048]

@@SusanGuagliumi Thank you for responding. I think that's what was happening. I was getting confused by trying to follow both the manual directions and your directions and somehow ended up knitting two rows on one bed and slipping on the other. I gave it another try and - - viola! Lovely cast on edge. Thank you for your video and your response.

[@Tanya-ey4hj]

Ple-ese explain why the first row made of the main yarn does not unravel then??

[@liannelambregts5744]

The first row is kept by the circulair second and third row. The ravelcord lays in between those rows.

[@zuzanahudeckova3]

What is it SLIP? Does this mean that the yarn gets caught in the needle of the machine? Yarn doesn't knit?

[@knit1924]

No, it means that only the other bed is knitting, whichever bed you put to slip, doesn't knit, until you put it back to knit. The slip setting is on the dial with the stitch sizes, in the middle of the carriage. Hope this helps.

[@yamupawar7901]

I want such book in which all wear pattern are given how to knit on brother knitting machine with all details demo ie about row how to cut shoulder etc and knitting tools with their prices .In lndia from where I can buy

[@bikrgran]

WOW! Thanks!

[@jeanduncalf]

Thank you looks really neat

[@margaretwojak2067]

terrific ,which machine are you using ?

[@SusanGuagliumi]

I do most of my work on Silver Reed but they all do the same things - just with different names for the parts, levers, etc.

[@jaktikumar9509]

Price .........

[@dobeSchH]

I have been trying to do this and I am having a hard time, and I think part of the problem is that I don't understand why you do a couple of things - like, why circular knitting in the middle of it? Also, why are you switching which one knits and which one slips on each row? I thought if you set the carriages to to each knit or slip in one direction, that you wouldn't have to keep switching back and forth. I'm pretty new to machine knitting, so excuse the ignorance if these are dumb questions. Thanks!

[@SusanGuagliumi]

The two circular rows make it easy to separate the two pieces - the waste knitting and the main knitting.

what machine are you knitting on? thank you

[@anoniem1346]

Silver Reed

[@SusanGuagliumi]

I usually work on Silver Reed.

[@emilleeloo]

Hi Susan! I've found your explanations so helpful and your craftsy classes were instrumental in helping me get started on the main bed. Is there any chance you'll team up with craftsy again for a ribber class?

[@SusanGuagliumi]

Probably not because it would require one brand or another and would leave out half the viewers. I may do something in the future on the blog so make sure you are signed up!

[@buttonmouse6497]

Can this method also be used for 2x2? Thank you for the resources!

[@SusanGuagliumi]

yes, but you may have to make some adjustments in stitch sizes.

[@misssimmi2]

Yet another clearly explained and informative video! Thank you Susan. Can I just ask what settings I would use for brother knitting machine? I'm new to machine and I'm struggling to work out the settings for brother. Thank you

[@SusanGuagliumi]

I'm afraid I do not have ribber for either of my Brother machines so do not have the visual right here to guide me! The important thing to understand is what each of the levers does. On the main carriage it is easy to set the Part Buttons to make the carriage slip from the left or the right. With the ribber, there should be some levers that also control whether or not the ribber is knitting in either direction.

[@misssimmi2]

@@SusanGuagliumi thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my question, I know how busy you must be. I really appreciate it. I'm trying to understand what the buttons and levers do but it's a bit confusing. I'll work it out...... eventually!

[@SusanGuagliumi]

@@misssimmi2 Just remember that the slipping (part) buttons on your carriage work both ways - the leading lever is always the one in control. Wish I had a ribber n front of me to tell you about those settings.
