There seems to be NO action on the machine knitting newsgroup so I thought maybe someone here was probably multi-talented and would know the answer to my question....... Can you knit with thread in the knitting machine? I need to create a sheer lace material and was dreaming that maybe it would be possible to do it on my ordinary Brother punchcard non-electronic machine with some thread. Has anyone ever tried this and does it work? Does it take several strands of thread or heavier weight thread to make it work? Can I throw in a mylar or fancier thread for interest or does that not work well? I am really hoping this will work and can't wait to hear from you. My husband is banking that it won't, so he said I had to ask before I try. Thanks, Joy
