punch cards

Hello Anne, I have a new Silver Reed knitting machine which came with a set of punch cards. When knitting using a card obviously I start with the card set on row one. But I believe that it is row 5 (or is it row 6) of the card which is being knitted. Can you please advise what row should I start with if using other manufacturers cards. I have a number of Brother and Toyota punch cards which which I would like to put into use.

Kindest regards

Anne

I’ve got some pictures of other punch card patterns but no where does it tell me where I can get these from.

Can any one help?

Knitting with alpaca

I have been trying to knit lace patterned scarves on my Emperial knitmaster with alpaca yarn, but it keeps laddering and getting stuck. I have tried changing the tention but nothing works, however if I use acrylic yarn it works perfectly. Please help.

Hi If the Alpaca Yarn you are using is 2ply or less then you should use the close knit bar which is the long white plastic bar or if you haven’t already tried a little weight that may help solve the problem.

Kind regards
Linda
