Words, descriptions and tutorials are my own. I personally prefer line drawings over photos because it is easier to see the specific part/lever/setting, so for now we will stay with the knitting manual illustrations. You may download and print out any of this material and share freely with your friends. Please do not repost it, or reprint it, substituting your name as author; also, please do not remove my name and print it out on your shop letterhead (Yes, this has happened!). This tutorial is a gift to all machine knitters. I deeply appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
