addi Express Knitting Machine Knitting Machine

This is pretty easy to work with. The instructions are very simple and the option of being able to not only do rounds, but to have it to stop to do "flat panels" is a major plus.You have to work with it to get used to how it operates and discover the speed for the yarn, so you don't drop any stiches.It does a nice job, all the stiches are even and with the flip of the little switch on the side, you can do the flat (square) panels. That will take a touch of practice and learning the individual machines speed for the type of yarn you will be using.I have both the King size and this one, of which

This machine is addictive. I used it and the Addi 22 needle to make this blanket for my daughter. She swore it had to have been store bought. This machine is smooth, I haven’t had any dropped or tucked stitches like I did with the Sentro. Definitely worth the investment if you’re going to use it.

Make my own socks now. No more worries about plastics in our clothes. Just pick out yarn and I can make a pair of socks in 30 minutes. I’ve made hats, socks and given them as gifts. Easy to use.

Very compact size. I can knit so much faster now with little to no dropped stitches. Beautiful design, easy to use and the instructions were amazingly written.

The first addi came to me few days ago and the handle came broken and I'm sure maybe from the shipment *shrugs*. I contact the seller and the seller was all nice about returning and sending a new addi machine and I returned the damaging addie. The new addi came to day and nothing was broken and the machine is working. :) Thank you so much!PS: I had the new addi for awhile and it works perfect!

Keeps pulling through the middle of the yarn on the cast on resulting in dropped stitches, broken yarn, and hard knitting. I bought a sentro that I thought was garbage but at least I was able to knit 3 hats before it started being a piece of garbage. I've been trying to knit on the addi for 3 hours and none of the "hacks" or tutorials are helping. Still having issue after issue. The hooks are too loose in the machine for accurate knitting and the yarn spout is too wide for the hooks to consistently catch the yarn. Don't waste your money. If you have to have one, buy a 70s version...

The cast on row HAS to be done so loose but make sure the needles catch the yarn, only with the Addi 22 pin. If you have the Addi 26 needle it is cast on regular with tension. After that row it is such fun knitting a project in such a short amount of time. I no longer knit with two needles. With Arthritis and Carpal tunnel the Addi is the best knitting machine because of the larger round handle. It is more pricey, but we all know you get what you pay for. I hear so many people jumping and getting the Sentro and most of them are so dissatisfied with that product. Well Happy Knitting, and enjoy

The first machine I received gave me a lot of trouble, always on the same needle, so I returned it. I used the replacement machine tonight and it was totally different; working really well. It's definitely more sensitive than the "king size" but it's still very easy to use and does the job. I'm excited about all the projects I can do with it now that it's actually working. So, if you get a machine that's giving you a lot of trouble, you may want to consider returning it and getting a new one. Now, I love both my Addi machines.
