Beginning Machine Knitting - Ribber Bed
About Beginning Machine Knitting - Ribber Bed
Knitting on a KM is a wonder, using the ribber adds even more options for creativity. In this class we will go over the parts of the ribber, how to connect it to your machine, and how it works in conjunction to the main bed. We will discuss and practice 1x1 and 2x2 cast ons and knitting, knitting in the round and U-shaped knitting.

Crystal Lawrence
Crystal Lawrence has been knitting since her Grannie taught her when she was 11. She has always been fascinated by the next challenge around the corner and when her friend and owner of a LYS offered to sell her a knitting machine 12 years ago she was hooked. Almost everything she has learned for MK has come from experimentation, hand knitting know-how, and vintage books.
