    Oh Whitney, I am so sorry that you have not been making more tutorials. Your clear "viewing"and vocal instructions are amazing! This has been a lifesaver for me. I will definitely be watching it over and over until I get it down pat. Thank you for taking your time and effort to do this for us.

    I'm brand new to knitting machines (I don't have an Addi... I have a Sentro). In fact, I just got my machine today. So far, I've made 2 hats and a scarf, all from "tubes". I've crocheted for 40+ years and I've been using a knitting loom for about a month so I was kind of able to fix dropped stitches and other "weird" stitches, but this video really helped me identify the potential problems BEFORE they happened. Thank you so much!

    I only got my knitting machine recently. I don’t knit that much with needles. I’ve always shied away from complicated knitting stitches.

    Wow u have a remarkable comprehension of the mechanics of how this works. I have a hard time with visualizing such things but really want to understand the needles and going backward and forward etc. You helped me so much. I have a knock off version right now I just want to make pieces of knit to play around with dyes, and I will re-knit it by hand. I have found I have to be SUPER gentle with worsted, the first machine I had lasted an hour and the gears got stripped. Then I read that some folks on amazon have similar problems with Addi also, but you really have it down. Thanx again, I shall look forward to more videos from you.

Decided to organize my closet and realized I started knitting on it to try it out for the first time didn't know how to cast off so I put it up....the scarf is still on the loom lol. I could never find any good videos or instruction ... thank you so much. I'm excited to start using it . Hope I can find more of your videos.

    Thank you for this thorough demonstration!!! . Especially helpful that you knew the importance of zooming in on the needles you were talking about and working on. I've only been knitting on my Addi for a month but would have saved myself SOOO much frustration if I had come across this video back then. You need to convince Skacel / Addi to include it or a form of it with the sell of every loom.

    To make an adult sized jumper... how and where do you make the initial measurements and then translate these measurements to rows and length? Maybe I am being a bit ambitious here as I have never used a knitting machine before... but making a jumper is my eventual goal. I don’t understand how to calculate the measurements (I have a horror of maths!). I don’t want to just make endless scarves and beanies on my new machine! Thanks for any help! PS. Your instructions are very clearly communicated and understood in this video... I would have probably given up on the whole garment if I dropped a stitch.

    • @rexlife6372
      @rexlife6372  3 роки тому

    For future Mae when she runs into this problem and returns to this video...
    1:30 -for if you catch the fail right away after its knitted
    2:39 -for if you catch the fail just before its knitted into the next row, slightly less frustrating.
    8:10 -Fixing a fail after multiple rounds.
