Archive of Thread: Swatch Tags help to concentrate on the basics Back

I love these swagg_tags you laid inn i the knitalong.

Just what i needed to understand my machine. I used them to understand and once  and for all document the most important lever-settings for zigg zagg/ribbing,  slipp/tubular,   etc. Much easier than the operation table in the silver manual,  to focus on essentials.

How to get free pass? Until now I sat needles to hold,  now I can set to slip,  and have a place to look it up fast,  if i forget.

I took a deepdive to patterning automatic and manual,  too. I feel these sheets gave me a deeper understanding for my machine. The manual is good,  but it can be a little intimmidating. On the sheet i marked  the MUST and the SHOULD settings,   and ignored all settings that are not involved in the intended goal. 

Thanks Sue for sharing these. Any chance to place it in tools,  link to glossary or  in another way make it easier accessable outside the knitalong?

Hi Tina!

I'm so glad you found these helpful!  I've considered having them printed on card stock - postcard size, do you think that would be useful?

Good idea about putting them on the tools page!

Here are the drawings:  The idea is to make notes and highlight the settings for various techniques and create "cheat sheets".

Postcardsize  sounds perfect. Easy access is important. I would prefer a downloadable pdf easy to find. .
