Needed to get a new sponge bar and all seems to be ok with machine and ribber, tho' only playing/experimenting at the moment.My rib transfer carriage is not working tho'. I can't push in the white piece that pushes out the orange piece. I have tried a drop of oil but no joy. Any ideas, LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006250650759378530.post-88271168210221192422011-09-01T17:44:37.452-07:002011-09-01T17:44:37.452-07:00That sounds great Maureen I hope you get to try it...That sounds great Maureen I hope you get to try it out i Think it also works for fair isle not sure about slip and weaving you would have to try it.

I am soooo jealous.<br /><br />Now I have got that off my chest, can you tell me if you need the LC2 carriage to do the tuck pattern in your second picture? or is that just with the main carriage and the punchcards?<br /><br />Also, if it just with the main carriage and punchcard can you tell me what punchcard number did that pattern please?<br /><br />I still have to try tuck stitch on my machine but this has given me the inspiration to do so.<br /><br />Really am so happy for you that you got your machine and now the sponge bar so you can use it.<br /><br />Happy knitting Alex.maureenlthompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07178068495208176522noreply@blogger.com
