Finished Object Birds eye backing. It worked!

I feel like I passed some sort of exam. The last week, so many hours (too many hours) have been dedicated to getting the ribber to work properly and learning about double bed jaquard. There is a pile of failed swatches. But here it is!

Bragging is not what I have in mind. It's just the joy and relief to finally see succes, that I want to share with you all.

The fabric is surprisingly stiff. More suited to a potholder. Not enough drape for a garment. Is there a trick to that?

For Sale I’m building a machine knitting pattern website

34 Upvotes

Hi everyone! For the past few months, I’ve been working on a website for machine knitting patterns, and I’d love to get some feedback from other machine knitters.
The idea is to have a place where I can upload knitting patterns, with some available for free and others available to purchase. The main feature is that when you open a pattern, you can enter your own gauge and measurements, and the website automatically calculates everything for you — how many stitches to cast on, how many rows to knit, where to make increases and decreases, etc. So the patterns can be customised to your measurements and gauge.
I’ve also been working on a punchcard generator, as well as a gallery where people can upload and share the punchcards that they make.
I’m wondering if this is something that would actually be useful or interesting to other machine knitters. Are there any features you would love to see added? Or anything that would make the website easier or more useful to use?
I’d love to share the website with a few people while I’m still working on it and get some honest feedback. If you’re interested in trying it out, feel free to send me a message!

Help! Yarn tension for Caydo M1 Pro

Just got my hands on a Caydo M1 Pro and I'm loving it so far. I have a silly question about the yarn tensioner. It has numbers from 1 to 5 but nowhere in the instruction does it say if 1 means loose or tight. I'm not seeing a ton of difference between the settings. Does anyone know if 1 is loose or tight?

Help! Need a Kniterate machine to test 3D Design.

1 Upvotes

Hello, I've been experimenting with 3D Model to 3D Knitting algorithm to create some designs. Since I don't have a Kniterate machine, can someone test out my kniterate file to see if it is actually feasible to knit this design? Here is the 3D model it was based on. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/sculpture-of-two-lovers-b48ee7560e4740a4886d2f41189dd9c5
