Fairisle on Basic Knitting Machines, Method 3

This is Method 3 in the series of Fairisle on Basic Knitting Machines. Even though it is demonstrated on an LK150, it works exactly the same way on a Brother KX350 knitter. The differences between the LK150 and KX350 are just cosmetic, except that the KX350 needles are spaced 7mm apart, while those on the LK150 are 6.5 mm apart. The levers all work the same; to make it simpler in this video, I refer to them simply as back levers and front levers. Since we must read from a chart and select pattern stitches manually, the first part of the video includes a few hints on keeping your place in the chart. The easel board is from Knitter’s Pride, and is available on Amazon. It is on special pricing, as of October 12, 2020, for $20.28, normally $30.59, and is available in several colors, at varying prices. https://www.amazon.com/KnitterS-Pride... Another good option is a document/book holder, the kind typists and keyboard operators use when entering data. Several are also available on Amazon, similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/Desktop-Docume... Clip boards, rubber bands, and Post-It notes are widely available, in any office supply store. I hope this gives you some new ideas on reading charts, as well as a new Fairisle method. Irene Woods
