I'm trying to make 5 stitch i-cord on my Silver Reed SK860.
I've been unable to set the carriage so that it knits in one direction only. The only option I've discovered is to slide the release lever each time I want to return to the knit row. This seems to be a clumsy way to achieve one directional knitting. Can anyone help please and thanks in anticipation.

Hi Veridian,
I don’t know if this will help or not - it depends if your carriage is similar to the older Knitmaster machines.
Mary Weaver gives the settings for cord knitting in her Technology and Patterns. For Knitmaster the Left Side Lever is set to the Circle mark and the Right Side Lever is set to the Triangle, with the carriage set to Slip.
I hope this helps a bit,
Regards Sue.
