Hand knitted project partly done – want to machine knit rest?

Posted on January 27th, 2010 by admin

I was away and started a project where i was hand knitting it on straight needles. It is going really slow and I am wondering if there is any way you can put it onto a knitting machine to finish it? I have a bond ultimate sweater machine at home. Also how do i get the right tension? If any one could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yes, you could but it is going to look very different,uneven. I’ve never done it but a friend of mine tried it and did not look good at all. You could always unravel the whole proyect and redo it on the machine. Good luck!

    There is no way you could ever achieve the same tension. To finish your sweater on the machine would ruin it.
