Decided today to try tuck stitch on the electronic knitting machine. Found the stitch pattern book,and the mylar sheets to make the design I wanted. Planned on doing a practice swatch to make the multicolored tuck st baby blanket out of Diana Sullivan's pattern book for baby afghans.
This is what the pattern looks like. The X are stitches and the blank areas are needles that dont knit and hold yarn,to make a pretty pattern.
Here is the graph paper that comes with the mylar sheets to draw out the pattern. I used pencil,then put the mylar sheet over to draw the design on it with a special marker that came with it all. Comvenient,right?
Here the design is on the mylar,made a few mistakes,the marker went on heavier than planned. Was able to use an eraser to get some of the extra off.
Here is the results,need to figure out why this happened. So decided to take a break after several tries and work on the heart afghan on the mid gauge machine. Needed to join the third panel.
Made a mistake and joined the bottom short end of the panel to the long side edge. Am going to make dinner then spend some time organizing and cleaning my craft room. Need to take a break from the 2 machines for a little while and maybe do some reading or YouTube watching to see what went wrong with the tuck stitch. Am not one to give up easily,so will keep at it,eventually.
