Archive of Thread: Hi I'm Lyn Collins from Oracle Arizona Back

4 years ago
New member here but not to machine knitting -  knit on mid-gauge  LK150 and KX350 and bulky on LK100 plastic bed machines. Easier on my 80 year old hands and eyesight then my standard gauge knitter/ribber.
I have been watching lots of videos in the learning section and checking out the patterns.  I have a couple of projects I'm finishing up and am looking forward to using some of the patterns and methods.
Have one question about tools section is it possible to get an increase/decrease stitches within one row calculator?  Or is there one I haven't found?
Hope to be able to participate in one of the knit alongs in the near future.
Lots to study here!

Hi Lyn!

Welcome!  We're so glad to have you here! ðŸ˜ƒ

We had a gather tool at one time, but the instructions were geared toward hand knitting.

You can play with it here - just be sure to select the "hand" option.

I felt that this wording didn't make sense for machine knitters and couldn't come up with a clever way to write the instructions ðŸ˜‰

I use an app called “knit evenly calculator� for increases and decreases if that’s any help. It’s very simple.
