I was so intimidated by the ribber! I finally forced myself and it wasn’t that hard really. I still have attachments and assessories that I haven’t figured out how to use yet though.
Glad this helped a bit though. 🙂
The one thing I didn’t mention was the constant repositioning of the weights to help keep the short rows on the needles. It becomes more like second nature once your body gets a sense of what works, but I probably repositioned the weights every two or three rows when doing the heel and toe.
