I've made some with plastic forks (the ones you get with take-out) which are much easier to bend. I heated them over the hot plate until pliable and then bent them to look similar, hung the weights and Voila! so far so good.Angienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203760872803630607.post-85437610365238179652011-11-06T18:05:26.806-06:002011-11-06T18:05:26.806-06:00Thank you for this post!

They have both been hiding on the top shelf in a closet for over 6 years. I just recently rescued one of them, and have been relearning how to use it.<br /><br />I've been spending a lot of time watching YouTube videos - there are so many tutorials there, as well as creative USM users who have made their own accessories/tools for the Bond.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203760872803630607.post-53481872620505211562011-10-04T14:07:03.056-05:002011-10-04T14:07:03.056-05:00I am looking for easy patterns for hats on the Bon...I am looking for easy patterns for hats on the Bond. any suggestions? ive had mine for 25 years, but its been in hiding for a long long time.

My name is Michael. My wife Kristie always does things I like, hobbies, games, etc. This time she asked me if I would consider knitting with her. How could I say no??? So we purchased a USM Deluxe and 2 shopping carts full of yarn that went on sale for the Labor Day weekend. Now all I have to do is finish the table I'm making specifically for the USM. Until then, we are enjoying reading your tips and getting new ideas on what we can look forward to accomplishing!Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203760872803630607.post-89759348734033897172011-07-10T21:01:20.395-05:002011-07-10T21:01:20.395-05:00This is such a great idea and most importantly, ve...This is such a great idea and most importantly, very very cheap!

To make the purl on the front side of the fabric you have to release the stitch and then latch it up. This will turn the stitch. This technique is mostly used to create a mock rib. If you click this link you can see Susan create a mock rib by turning the stitches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0sX_vaFzO8Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627958534588478019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203760872803630607.post-80284988083301190652011-01-26T11:20:07.950-06:002011-01-26T11:20:07.950-06:00How do you make a knit on the bond?

I, myself, recycled some test strip bottles and put cup hooks in the center of the top attached lid and put in pennies and then when making socks where you have to have some weights to hold down the toes, heels, then I use a long pronged hair clip and hang acouple of my penny weights on the hair clip and that does the trick. When making baby blankets, or sweaters, any thing long, I just roll up the hanging hem up to the bottom of the knitting machine and then baste though the knitting with contrasting yarn, then keep going until desired length. No more hassleing the hanging garment laying on your lap or on the floor. Also, when making something on my Bond, I have put in some closed ring hooks every so often on the mounting board for my bond, so I can use bungie cords of different sizes to hold back the knitting against the machine and less likely to drop stitches whilw knitting. I have been Bonding for about 5 years and just went back to it after a stroke of 3 years ago.

Use the big loop to make the hook, cutting off the extra there, but use the small loop to go around the metal bar and secure these in place.<br /><br />Bonus idea: instead of a metal bar, use a metal yardstick. Not too expensive, and it will allow you to place the paper clips very precisely.Shishkanihttp://www.ravelry.com/people/shishkaninoreply@blogger.com
