Cylinder Marking - Understanding how to setup your own machine
If I knew then what I know now…. I’m here to tell you that indeed it IS important to start certain projects at certain points on the machine - that making a sock for example requires certain actions and yarn carrier placements.

WHERE YOU CHOOSE TO MARK YOUR 6 O’CLOCK POSITION ETC ON YOUR CYLINDER IS YOUR PREFERENCE!
CRANKING POSITION: It’s possible to sit at the machine in almost any orientation however I believe strongly that by using the machine at a more natural arm movement (like sitting on a bicycle with leg pedaling forward) means I will experience less wear and tear to my arm and shoulder.
So with this information in mind, my preference in marking my cylinder is to put 6 o’clock pretty much right in front of me on the cylinder.
