Hi
I think someone posted a way of knitting punch lace on a Brother using full needle rib. She had used the plating feeder to take the second yarn (equal to the contrast) and knitted on the punch lace setting. Can we do this on a Knitmaster?
Thanks, ozmartian
Hi Ozmatian
I have a Knitmaster 360 and there is a punch lace lever on the machine. It’s very good for knitting silver or gold lace effects on garments using fine thread and the normal 4-ply. Hope this is of some help to you.

Hello Ozmartian
In ‘A Machine Knitter’s Guide’ by Lewis and Weissman there is a section on lace made with transparent thread. In part it reads ‘all sorts of single and double bed tuck patterns are very successful. Meshes made on a 1×1 slip or tuck setting make very stable fabrics. Search through your pattern books and try any single or double bed two-colour pattern that appeals to you.’ There are several photos of knitted samples where nylon has been substituted for one of the coloured yarns and not every needle is in use on the ribber. A colour changer would be useful to change the yarns every 2 to 4 rows. Sorry it has taken so long to reply but I have been re-reading this book and came across this information. I hope it proves to be of some use to you. Kind regards Sue
