Hi Colleen, it sounds like you don't have enough evenly distributed weight
once you change from the comb to manual weights - do you mean claw weights?
Once the ribber cast on comb hits the floor, try rolling the knitting up
around it and secure with bulldog type clips, otherwise try using the single
bed cast on comb and rehang it further up the knitting.
Hope this helps,

Can you explain in a bit more detail what is happening? Does the main
yarn continue to knit, and the pattern yarn stop, or does it stop
knitting altogether?

What machine are you using? Might be worth hoovering the punchard slot
(if it's a punchcard) - could be dust bunnies!

Hi Jane,

Thank you for taking the time to help it is appreciated.

I get to do the ribbing and knit and i have started with the first
example in the instruction manual.

I have a singer 323 and 321 but am attempting the pattern on the 323.

I get to knit the pattern up to about the armhole length, then i remove
the comb and put on the manual weights. The minute i do this there are
certain needles that just sort of collect the yarn on the needle with
every row knitted and these eventually clump up . I have tried to knit
them manually and the minute i do this i am inclined to loose the
pattern or the yarn just breaks.

I am using a tension 7 with a 4ply yarn.

Many Thanks
Col
