Pinterest inspirations vs implementation, tuck and lace combos 2

This post will be a growing companion to Pinterest inspirations vs implementation, tuck and lace combos 1, addressing designing repeats for automation of such designs on electronic machines.
Lace transfers made in the same direction will lead to the knit biasing in that direction.
Reversing the direction of the transfers at intervals will balance some of that bias.
In the post on A return to lace with automated patterning, adding color striping, the LC transfers were charted moving diagonally as well, achieving this result. In this inspiration source, the transfers are made in rectangular blocks. Assigning symbols and BW fill to cells in turn, expanding the repeat following arrow markings pointing to the LC selections and transfers in the correct directions. The single repeat, 20X42. In the bottom design rows 1-13, the LC makes 2 passes followed by 2 rows knit, in the top 14-41 rows, 4 LC passes are followed by 2 rows knit.
The test knit on 51 stitches. The side knit borders are 2 and 3 stitches, respectively. Next to the 2-stitch one, the eyelets are slightly compressed, appearing smaller than those next to the 3-stitch border.
There are charts worked out for fully automated tuck and lace combinations using both the LC and the KC to tuck.
Many are published in the Brother punchcard volume #5, but
they are not usable as provided in electronic machines.
The punch card machines repeat selection when the patterning carriage is retrieved for use from the opposite side.
The final charts in the DIY electronic versions will appear quite different, and although they may still be in repeat widths suitable for punch card machines, they are not interchangeable.
Electronic models advance the design for a row with each pass of carriages set for pattern knitting.
An idea using similar, alternating loop and lace diagonal shapes. In terms of fabric qualities, tuck stitch is short and wide, and lace tends more to long and wide.
Casting on and binding off may need to be adjusted to be looser in final projects.
Jumping right to the use of black and white pixels, following the arrows to track movements of both carriages to achieve the 24X36 final repeat.
Two all-knit rows occur after completing tuck segments, avoiding LC attempts at transfers containing tuck loops far beyond LC tolerance, capable of producing interesting LC carriage jams: The swatch was tested on 50 stitches. My seemingly endless supply of white yarn has reached its end, hence the color change and restart. As usual, the tuck texture is more evident on the purl side. These were published in a Japanese knitting magazine from the late 80s, with accompanying symbol charts. Counting up from the bottom, it looks as though they were intended for use in Brother models, with row 1 marked 7 rows up on the right of the proposed punch cards. Tentative planning in a spreadsheet for each repeat with arrows indicating the respective carriage movements.
The first preselection row is from left to right, and both begin with tuck patterning.
Testing the first 24X28 designquickly identified a problem area where already formed tuck loops with added yarn from the lace transfers try to meet more tuck loops. Cyan T cells represent tuck loops, the magenta cells the loops formed when emptied needles are brought back into work as the next row is knit. 1: The first pair of tuck loops is complete,
2: and meet the pair of lace transfers stitches to the left and to the right.
3: When needles emptied by the lace transfers are advanced to knit, the center needle between them is meant to tuck once more, but refused to do so with the next all-knit pass.
Often, the limit for the number of stitches or loops on any one needle to knit off properly on 4.5 mm machines is 4, unless the yarn is thin. A solution is to add an all-knit row to the design repeat, marked with blue cells. The amended design, drawn in repeat, checking alignments, programmed on 48X28 for test knitting, and mirrored horizontally on the 930enabled sorting out likely places to watch for any added issues, i.e., location and reasons for any dropped stitches. The second repeat, tested on 48X52, with the pair of added all knit row as above, still posed issues; all-knit rows between the lace transfers must be programmed for execution by the knit carriage traveling from right to left and back to its home on the right. Programmed 48X52 Test knitting required mirroring on the 930
