Dang, that is amazing! Did you already know how to use it and do all this or did it have really great instructions? Such an interesting idea for the ribbing! Thanks for sharing!!

Really my only references are the video Engineering Knits made about her making a fair isle sweater with one, and the instructions that came with it. Since it's a basic knitting machine, it can only do stockinette stitching, so you have to use a handheld latching tool to create the perls manually. Isn't too bad if you only do a couple rows of ribbing 🙂
