Garter-Carriage Turn-Around Cams
Two pieces of hard plastic or hours saved of your time---that's what these turn-around cams are. They slip in the back of the needle bed. I've knitted multi-panel afghans, baby afghans, and sweaters on the garter carriage using these cams. and I've never had a single bit of mispatterning or skipped stitches.
If you look at the ends, they are shaped like the butt of the needle. The garter carriage turning latch catches on that just as it does the needle butt and turns back to the opposite direction. The machine is working just as it was made to work, only you get the benefit of saving time and, thus, wear on the garter carriage. I use them every time I knit with my garter carriage.
Northtipton has found a superior turn around cam that is a bit longer and sturdier than the ones pictured here. They are the same price.
