I have had a knitting machine 25 years and still there are formations you demo which never occurred to me. It's so exciting to have discovered your wonderful techniques. It's like having a new toy all over again.👍💖🌷
I just used this edge on a boxy vest (my first attempt at clothing on a knitting machine). As well as lying flat, it makes a great decorative element on edges that require a join. Thank you.
Thank you again....I have learned so much from you....I show my husband what I have learned and I say to him Diana Sullivan of Austin, Texas taught me....hahaha
Donald Reeves I just did some samples, without top and bottom finishes, but think this one would look great with the twisted fringe, here: ua-cam.com/video/l-5d8ke_af4/v-deo.html
This would be great to make a gauge swatch. You are exceptional. Wish you didn't live on the other side of the continent. Thanks for sharing and caring. Hugs xxx
Yesterday I completed a hoodie for my daughter. It has a trapezium-shaped pocket on the front. All the hems are folded, so I didn't want to line the pocket with ribbing. Therfore I combined your no-roll edge (carriage going left) with fullfashion decreases (carriage going right) and it worked out wonderfully! Thank you for your terific video's!
Yes, you need to put an edging of some sort on both the top and bottom, or they will roll. This works on side edges. Try it with your yarn - doesn't work well on some yarns.
I'm a new knitter. Could you do this same technique along the top and bottom later? CO 5 sts, hang one st from the CO (or bound off) edge and knit-as-you-go? I haven't tried it yet. Maybe you can see problems that I'm not yet experienced enough to anticipate. Thank you for your patient explanations!!
What would you use for the bottom and top edges of a baby blanket using this for edging? would knitting on I-cord bind off match? how would you do the cast on end to make it match?
I love the diagonal no roll edging. Now I would like to do the edging in a contrasting color. I'm a newbie to machine knitting and can't find any instructions on how to do this. Can you help me?
It eliminates most of the roll on many yarns. On some years, it just doesn't get the roll out. I've had the best luck with acrylic yarn, and the worst luck with natural fibers.
Diana, are there some yarns this works better with? I did it with a fingering weight yarn on an LK140 and it did not stop the roll. It flipped under and then the piece rolled up from there.
Thank you, but I already ripped it out. I assumed that there was nothing I could do to fix it. I think I'll stick with hats on the Bond and save the scarves for my Brother 940 since it has a ribber and I know the ends won't curl. I really enjoy your videos. They are very helpful.
Although this technique made a lovely border, I was thoroughly disappointed. The knitted piece curled as much as if I had done nothing. Back to the drawing board!!! I do appreciate your many videos, however.

Dear Diana, thank you so much for this trick, a great help for my current project !! And the ones to come.

Way to go , Diann! Another winner!Thank you!
I wanted to thank you for all your great videos, Diana!
Here is the solution to my problems ! Thank you Diana !

Great on a scarf. Tried on both sides and loved the results
Thank you for all your help
What kind of edging did you do for the bottom and top?

Sharon Snyder I’m so glad you commented, I found this looking for a no roll edging for scarves!!
Thank you, Sharon, I was about to ask question about it. I wonder though if that would work with transfering two stiches only?
This would be great to make a gauge swatch. You are exceptional. Wish you didn't live on the other side of the continent. Thanks for sharing and caring. Hugs xxx
Thanks. I'm getting ready to start several throws, and this edge will work wonderfully, I think. Love your videos!
Thanks very much, this is the easiest no-roll edging I have seen. And it looks good too!

This is lovely and has inspired me to make a stripy blanket! Thank you for your wonderful teaching videos.
Brilliant! I learn so much from you! Thanks so much for posting. :-)
This is a fantastic design element. I might incorporate it into the strap for a cotton bag I’m making.
once agian, thank you for a great video. I'm about to start on a baby blanket and will use this method.
Great! Thank you. Greetings from Germany
Thank you what a fantastic idea.
gracias por compartir sus conocimientos
Hola buena tarde le doy las gracias por compartir sus vídeos he aprendido mucho un abrazo desde Teziutlan Puebla Mexico
I love your videos..more please!!
That's a great tip. Thank you very much for it.
I love this boarder! BUT it still rolls! Does it get better, when washed???
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial
this is really great, can this be done at the side of ribbing to create a button band from the beginning of the rib.
Love this - so would you wait until after the afghan is done, and put the top edge on the needles to finish that so it wouldn't roll?
Yes, you need to put an edging of some sort on both the top and bottom, or they will roll. This works on side edges. Try it with your yarn - doesn't work well on some yarns.
Thank you mighty much indeed 🥰
Will definitely try this on my charity scarves
love this! thanks for sharing
Спасибо за видео.

Barbara Palmer Hi, Barbara. The answer is maybe. You're not the first person to suggest it, but I just haven't tried it.
What would you use for the bottom and top edges of a baby blanket using this for edging? would knitting on I-cord bind off match? how would you do the cast on end to make it match?
More than i can answer in a comment. I have lots of edging videos. Check out this one: ua-cam.com/video/urOcjvxQrRs/v-deo.htmlsi=r50vYKnvREi1sd33
COOL! Thanks! Great idea!
I love the diagonal no roll edging. Now I would like to do the edging in a contrasting color. I'm a newbie to machine knitting and can't find any instructions on how to do this. Can you help me?
Here is a later video where I did an add-later edging that should work for your idea. ua-cam.com/video/urOcjvxQrRs/v-deo.html
Do you ever do any teaching seminars? I love all of your videos.
Yes, I do! I did one recently in Canada, and I am teaching in Dallas in a couple weeks.
Nice going to try this for sure
that´s great! can i do that at the cast on side as well???
+PamiStyle It's really a side edge treatment. I haven't played with using it on the top and bottom.
I love the way this border looks, but mine still rolls. Am I doing something wrong?
It eliminates most of the roll on many yarns. On some years, it just doesn't get the roll out. I've had the best luck with acrylic yarn, and the worst luck with natural fibers.
I like this, thank you.
love it! thanks.
I wonder how this will work as a button band?
I do not recommend it for a button band. Button bands should be stronger.
Thanks!
Diana, are there some yarns this works better with? I did it with a fingering weight yarn on an LK140 and it did not stop the roll. It flipped under and then the piece rolled up from there.
Deborah Knight I'm having the same issue on my Lk150
Diana, why did this technique not work for me? I followed the video exactly, but still ended up with curled edges.
+queenbee2me Maybe if you email a photo, I'll have some way to answer the question. Without more information, just don't know why.
Thank you, but I already ripped it out. I assumed that there was nothing I could do to fix it. I think I'll stick with hats on the Bond and save the scarves for my Brother 940 since it has a ribber and I know the ends won't curl. I really enjoy your videos. They are very helpful.
Hi Diana my guru...is it possible to do a buttonhole in this edging?
***** Yes. Do a one-stitch eyelet.
I will give it a try then thanks.
Genial amei !!!!
