I do not know how often I have said to others "read the manual" it usually solves most problems, wether you are putting together an IKEA furniture or getting some advanced machinery to function it is all in the manual. I should have listened to myself when it came to knitting lace on my knitting machine.
I have started projects with lace several times before, however these have always failed. I have blamed it on the yarn having tried this mainly with silk and cotton. This fortnight I decided it was about time that I crunched the lace knitting. So I found some Icelandic Lace Weight Yarn to try with, knowing that wool almost always is easy to knit on the knitting machine. I started with some failed attempts until I took out the manual for the knitting machine and did exactly as it said and voila it worked. Some misbehaviour here and there but at least I managed a lace scarf that I can use and now at least I know why I failed all the other times - read the manual.
