Hi all, I am looking a for a bit of advice! For a project, I need to knit a flat square with lots of different coloured rectangles tiled together (see the picture below) and my plan was to use intarsia. I am using different yarns that I've got from unraveling a bunch of jumpers so they are all slightly different thicknesses. This means that when I knit them together using intarsia I can't change the stitch size between different yarns and the swatch isn't flat as the gauge is different for different yarns.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the gauge of a yarn without changing the stitch size. For some I am able to double up the yarn but I was thinking that maybe adding in another clear thin yarn might make a difference?

Any advice/comments are very much appreciated!

Hi everyone! I recently bought a double-bed Tewi Matic and I'm having some trouble making it work. I don't have any experience with knitting machines, so I don't know if it's me or if there's something wrong with the machine. I've heard that knittax is similar. Can someone help me??

Heya! I’m primarily a crocheter but I’ve been enjoying learning knit little by little. I’ve recently got a 40pin sentro mainly for ear warmers & stash busting, but the suction cups are crap even when I clean them & their connected surface, so I have to hold it still while struggling to crank it. I’ve realized most but not all 4 weights will go through it which is fine, but why do I still have to crank it so hard with yarn on it, & it click so loud? I’ve used compressed air to clean it of any yarn/debris, oiled the pins with 3in1 oil I was given, dried off excess & cranked it about 25 rounds both ways to spread the oil per various YouTube videos of not the sentro I have, what else can help it smooth out? I’d appreciate any suggestions, visuals/video would be better, thank you!
