Tension swatch?
Hi! how do you make a tension swatch for Brother machine 830, if you
want to knit a weaving pattern, I mean how you calculate rows and stitches., from right side I can not see when a stitch ending, from wrong side? is here a rule? Same question apply to a lace pattern. Thank you in advance from a complete newbie. I am trying to learn by books, not to much progress so far and of course I want to knit something nice. |

Thank you, I was thinking about this method, But I was always doing a
stitch count ( for hand knitting) I guess I should start to learn some new tricks. |

A further point. you should knit a minimum of60 rows for better accuracy,
(exactly 60 if using the green ruler) and don't forget to let it rest before measuring or wash if the yarn is likely to shrink wrote in message oups.com...

Thank you, I was thinking about this method, But I was always doing a stitch count ( for hand knitting) I guess I should start to learn some new tricks. Right. I just break it up in groups of 20 because of using more than one set of width markers. Brother counts on it being 60 rows for its white knit leader ruler as well. The measured area between marked stitches is 40 stitches wide, but you cast on 60, so you're measuring in the middle where it's hopefully less affected by curl distortions. There are little ^ marks on the needle bed at 21L and 21R which are the stitches you mark with the hand-knit CC stitch.
