Swung and Tucked Ribs

Just thought I would upload some photos of some swung ribs I have been trying out. I have never done these before but was amazed how easy they are to do. I cant imagine making a garment in them as its too tedious, but i thought little squares done in different colours would make a nice blanket all sewn up?

These were fun to knit up, and I am glad I have tried them out.

That's all for now

    That's cool Phil I have tried a couple of those before when I had my ribber for the 700, they were really fun to knit up, I just had trouble remembering which way to turn the racking handle lol.

    Phil!

    Awesome samples. I do the same here trying out the different ribbing techniques. I started doing so to get over my "avoiding" racking. Boy how quickly I got over that.

    They make nice scarves or panel afghans or even a panel in a sweater or vest!

    As one of my followers says,"knit on!"

    Thanks for the comments guys. I can imagine making lots of these in different colours and making a big blanket or similar.
