Didn't get home early (we went into Brum for a Wagamama's - white chocolate and ginger cheesecake, mmmm!), but had a bit of a play on the electronic. Fair-isle is easy, as long as you give it time to refeed the pattern. Tuck took a few attempts before I realised I had to select negative patterning and get it to read the right pattern. Slip looks really great. Weaving? Not so keen - on my Brother the needles are preselected, allowing you to lay the weaving yarn over the needles. On the Silver Reed, you have to slip it behind a wire guard, which is not nearly as fast.
I want to try lace tonight! :)
My addiction to anything crafty created with a pointy stick, a needle or a hook.....
Thanks for the eye candy.If you like weave knit , you should get the AW-1 Weaving Arm for the Silver Reed .It makes weave knit like fairisle, you just use the twoyarns and knit away.I have used on my ancient SK326
ReplyDeletethanks anon.
ReplyDeleteAlas, I had one a few months back when I was looking for the weavemaster attachment - I sold it on ebay, 'cause I didn't have the Silver Reed at the time. I can always do knitweave on the Brothers anyway, so all is not lost.
