I started machine knitting while my husband, Bill, was stationed in Japan in 1964. My first machine was a silver reed knitting machine. I presently use a Brother 965i knitting machine. We have been selling cone yarn in East Tennessee since 1986. Our web site is at http:// www.etsy.com/shop/stephaniesyarn

Bobbles
Machine Knitting bobbles can be fun and add a new look to your hats, sweaters and more.
First I removed 4 stitches off the knitting machine needles leaving a center stitch on the machine. I mean that I am removing 2 each side of the center needles onto a double-pointed needle. Leave center stitch on machine
I manually knit one stitch (center stitch)with a contrast color
I then e-wrapped one needle on each side of the center. contrast color
I manually knit 3 stitches. contrast color
I e-wrapped one needle each side, manually knit 5 stitches. contrast color
I decreased 1 stitch each side and knit one row,contrast color
repeated down to one stitch contrast color.
I then put up the 4 stitches that I removed of the main color and continued to knit.
