Potholders done with fully reversible DBJ an Brother 940

This is done like regular DBJ, but the ribber carriage set to slip. After the first 3 circular rows, carriage to KC and knit one row, then changed ribber bed to P and needles need to be hand selected on ribber, always opposite what is on main bed. If the main bed needles is in B, non selected, then the corresponding ribber needle needs to be in D, selected.
Some are done in Yeoman Cannele, some Bonita mercerized Cotton or some other 8/3 cotton, T=5 on both beds.
The red and blue patterns are from "The Tap Dancing Lizard", the others from other books, some modified and combined in DAK. the pictures always show front and backside of the sets.
