- Learned 2-bed knitting on a domestic machine and progressed on the Knitout to Kniterate code visualiser.
- Conducted tests on the Kniterate; most were successful, with some issues like yarn carrier movement before carriage.
- Attended an exhibition featuring inspiring Kniterate work by NAFA students, including double bed jacquard samples.
- Worked on a ribber machine, practicing cast-ons, ribs, plating, and racking to understand 2-bed knitting.
- Tested waste section samples on the Kniterate, encountering issues with carrier directions that required fixes.
- Developed and tested casting off methods, comparing different approaches for better results.
- Updated the visualiser to include KCode export and waste section generation for easier student use.
- Identified ongoing challenges, such as carrier movement errors and the need to refine transfer functions.
- Planned next steps: learn more about jacquard knitting and delve deeper into KCode file format troubleshooting.
