Today I learned how to use a @cricutexplore.bsky.social machine to create punch cards for our knitting machine at work. Here are two cards I created, one for a tuck stitch afghan, and one with a skull motif for fun. 🤘💀 Here’s the tutorial: youtu.be/iQ6OC8yrMY4?... 🧶

Hot take #1: To people who think using a knitting machine isn't "hand made." Eff you. The learning curve on that is rough. If it skips, it's WORK to fix it correctly. I've made 3 halfway successful pieces with it and wasted a TON of yarn trying to figure it out over 3 years on and off.
