1. Position the carriage so that the magnet on the center back of the carriage is outside the left turn mark.
1. Run the AYAB software. In AYAB, left-click “Open Image File” or choose “Open Image File” from the File menu and select the file `triangles_60x10.png` that is located in the folder that opens by default (if you want to knit a different pattern, choose a black/white raster image, preferably in `.png` file format. It must be at least as wide as the needles you are using).

1. When you’re on the left with no needles selected, abandon the lace carriage on the left extension rail and knit two rows with the main carriage (usually two rows, can be more). Notice that there are no beeps, AYAB ignores the main carriage in this case.
1. Repeat: pass the Lace carriage across and back until nothing is selected and it’s on the left, then two rows with the main carriage.
