I understand that we need to focus on the PPTs and relative knowledge from  NCSU, but do we also need to study the reader Knitting and properties 1148? And how many questions can we expect from the exam of Knitting part?
IPE05: About 6 questions per part:circular knitting and warp knitting. As for the 1148 reader, i believe it gives too much general information over warp knitting.. what you would find in a warp knitting book mostly. Good to read once... but not as practical and to the point as NCSU.

If you only have one binding for both (tricot and cord individually), can there even be similar or counter lapping? I thought it was only when you are introducing a second binding..
IPE05: "counter" or "similar" lapping are terms used to compare binding-evolutions within the same fabric. As i re-read your question, the answer is: no, if there is only one binding, there is also no need to compare it's evolution with something else.

If you are knitting an open pillar lap, there is no underlap right? If you have an open stich, is there an underlap in general?
IPE05: Open pillar stitch is the only scenario that does not have an underlap... but it also does not create a fabric. Which means you will always have to use it in combination with something else that holds everything together.

The electronic feeders always have a supply of yarn storage built-in. Is that also the case for the mechanical feeders?
IPE05: yes, the mechanical feeders also have a storage wheel below, but the difference between the two is not in the storage capacity, but in the ability to feed the yarn at a different rate (or not).

the so called "presser" is only used in the Rachel machine or also in the tricot machine
IPE05: the presser bar is necessary only when you have bearded needles on the tricot machine. Not likely to meet this on a Raschel machine. Its needed because the bearded needles don't have a closing mechanism so the presser does that. If the tricot machine has the bearded needle, you will have the presser bar... if the tricot has compound needles, presser bar will be missing.

is the thing I drew in pink the underlap?
IPE05: yes, it is.

is it more expensive to create a warp knitted product than weft knitted products since in warp a lot of warp beams are used?
IPE05: it depends on what you create and where you sell it. Price of a knitted product is determined by raw material, complexity of the style, technology that is used as well as if it contains innovative structures and finishes or not. Brand reputation also matters..

BUT if everything else is the same and you are looking at only thread consumption, warp knitting uses definitely more. Up to 12.000 threads in one go.

P.S. There are a lot of cheap sweaters (weft) that are sold at Primark but... you can also have 1  fancy Givancy sweater that costs as much as all of the sweaters from Primark put together. Or you can have a nice seamless (warp knitted) yoga attire that costs more than all the warp knitted running tops in Decathlon put together. Depends really... even the weft knitted Givency (1569 euros in the picture below) can be more expensive than any warp knitted garment.

Hello!
I was wondering if this quarter (in the exam) we will have questions from previous ones?
IPE05: Hi. All material about circular knitting and warp knitting is new, questions will be new.

# data[].attributes.body
We learned that in circular knitting machines, if using symmetrical cams, the needles can turn both ways. In what case would that happen, that they go both ways, or why is this necessary?
IPE05: This is necessary when creating the heel of a sock for example. it is necessary that the machine, after has knitted the beginning of the sock... for which it had been making the full circle revolutions ... it will switch to the heel area where it needs to make only half a circle, then switches direction to knit the same half of the circle and then again go back... so on until the heel is fully knitted. I think you can imagine that the heel can only be placed on only half of the sock and not all around. Once that is over, the machine will resume full circle rotations to finish off the sock.

I can not watch the long video of the warp knitting powerpoint part 1, because the PP is just as a pdf file uploaded. Could you please upload the video separately?
IPE05: i will put the ppts up in a separate folder

I don't understand what the code for the atlas would be... is it: 1-0/1-2/3-4/4-5/4-3/3-2/2-1/1-0// ?
IPE05: we start at the first row, the one at the bottom, warp stitch that is most to the right side.

The first thing we see following the yarn is an underlap 1-0 but we do not code the underlaps, only the overlaps.. which is the part that is above the dot.

Next, the thread wraps around the needle (goes over the dot) from right side towards left.. which means 0-1. That is an overlap and needs to be added to the code.

As you proceed, in row 2, towards the second needle, as you re-draw the stitch, you will have to go above the dot from left to right... which will be the second overlap coded 2-1.

So check your own code again...

I have a question about the interlock structure... I am a little confused on how this is structured, is it just a RR overlapped since it has 2 needlebeds working?
IPE05: look at the scheme below. The structure requires two rows or "RR" which is actually a Rib 1x1 to be knitted to create one row of interlock. Why you can not knit this on the normal machine? Because of the needles that are facing each other.

# data[].attributes.body
I already uploaded the grey pocket but I didn't put the cable in the scheme, I just saw that right no, is that ok or do I have to do it again?

IPE05: with cable please

# data[].attributes.body
If I choose to do this pocket for my skills paper do I also have to represent the cable structure or just by showing the pocket scheme is enough
IPE05: cable included in the scheme.

Will it be 90mins, 60 multiple choice questions online exam? Or other exam format?
IPE05: You get cases but they come in a 3 questions format. 1 question for each technology that you learned. Sort of :look at the picture, figure out what this is, what machine created this, what properties does it have. Think family of fabrics, techniques, colors, thread guides necessary..

# data[].attributes.body
What would be more specific pages to read in the knitting readers or just read the whole thing?
IPE05: I mentioned during class that the NCSU readers are great but that they contain 2nd year material too. But it is difficult to selected pages for you to learn since it's mixed.. just follow the ppts.

Hello! I don't really remember how to represent the needle bed when only the high-needle butts are working (when the buttons are on middle). Also, how do i represent the high-needle butts?

IPE05: this is how it looks like on the scheme. In the cam settings we use "1/2" instead of "+" or "-"

Would this knit be a half cardigan? or maybe a full cardigan?

IPE05: Sharp eyes! it is wider than usual! It could be due to the structure or the thickness of the metallic yarn

# data[].attributes.body
should we represent the metallic yarn with a different color in the template?
IPE05: i would recommend that.

# data[].attributes.body
For example c do we have to use tucks to make the dark grey spot visible?
IPE05: For scenario c, the dark area seems fully knitted into stitches to me, but i am not sure i understand your question very well.. but since you talk about visibility, i will say: stitches instead of tucks

# data[].attributes.body
For the metalic yarn in this picture, are there two different thread guides used? how is this clean "box" made in a knit surrounded by the clear thread knit?
IPE05: That is what you need to figure out. :) I would say yes, you do need two different thread guides for sure. And to answer your other question, think of the pocket we discussed.. it is also a clean "box" surrounded by clear thread knit. But this one is not open at the top and the background is not LR.

If we're unsure about our knitting schemes, will there be the opportunity for us to have it looked over by you first, before handing in the final version and not getting it signed off? That would be great, since we also had that option when the buildings were still opened.
IPE05: As long as i can also see the pictures you choose along with the schemes, and that you fully sketched something on paper, than email me. Padlet is not really suitable for full length knitting schemes and this sort of feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
What do you do if you have a RL and LR as your structure instead of a RR for the knitting templates? There is one option in the knitting assignment in which the the yarns are floating over the actual knit. Does this in the template mean the inlay yarn will be distributed partly and then go up (float) and somehow go into the knit again...?

IPE05: yes, that is exactly what it means. :)

# data[].attributes.body
For the metallic option, when writing the scheme, how can we represent it for example if I choose this option, the darker part is the one knitted with the metallic yarn? if so, when knitting RR do you see the metallic yarn on one side or in both sides? thank you

IPE05: the dark yarn is indeed the metallic yarn. If you ask me "when knitting RR do you see the metallic yarn on one side or in both sides?" we know that a RR shows the yarn on both sides. It's just how RR works. To show on only on one side, you would have to use plating.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a question, for the skills paper can we use this image as the inlay option?
IPE05: yes, you can use it.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a question about the skillspaper inlay knit. When having the inlay knit in (brown one) which the yarns are pushed over the knit and then back into its own knit, how should we represent this in a clear way in the knitting templates?

IPE05: Below you can find the general representation for an inlay yarn (represented with blue thread). You will then have to see if your sample is indeed a RR or not, and is your inlay deposited fully or partially?
