Make a tension swatch to find your rows/stitches per inch and ideal tension for the yarn you choose
Choose a lace punch card; I chose one that only had 2 rows of transfers between the 2 rows of knitting but any lace card will work
- RC000
- Cast on your project with the main yarn and knit a row or two ending with Carriage on Left (COL)
- Change Knob to KC to engage timing belt
- K 1 row to right to select needles
- Release punch card
- *Push both Part buttons in
- Pull up Row Counter Tripper
- Hand transfer the selected needles with a one prong transfer tool to the left (you will always transfer the stitches in the direction the carriage will go next)
- Pull all needles into working position
- Knit 1 row to the left
- Hand transfer selected stitches to the right
- Put all needles into working position
- Continue to work the hand transfers like this until you take the carriage across and it does not select any needles
- Put Row Counter Tripper down
- Remove part buttons
- K 2 rows stockinette* -(the needles will select on the last pass of stockinette to begin the process again)
- Repeat * to * until you have the length you desire
- I do not remove the yarn from the carriage, but do snug up the yarn a bit in the tension mast to knit the 2 stockinette rows
It seems like a lot of steps to hand do the lace, but you get into a rhythm and it takes the guess work out of the transfers when the selected needles tell you which stitches to transfer.
