Okay, here is my sharing about using the Addi King Size knitting machine:
So I got this Addi King Size knitting machine, and let me tell you, it’s pretty cool. I wanted to try it out because, well, who doesn’t want to knit things fast? First off, I had to figure out how this thing works. It’s not like regular knitting with needles, you know? You turn a crank, and it does all the work.
Getting Started
I opened the box, and there it was, all shiny and new. It came with some instructions, but honestly, they weren’t super helpful. I watched a bunch of videos online. Those videos showed me the basics, like how to cast on. That’s just getting the yarn onto the machine. It looked easy in the videos, but it took me a few tries to get it right.
Choosing the Yarn
- The first thing I learned was that you gotta use the right yarn.
- Not all yarn works with this machine.
- I tried some thicker yarn I had, and it just didn’t work.
- It was too big and kept getting stuck.
- Then I switched to a thinner yarn, and it was much smoother.
Figuring It Out
Once I got the yarn on, I started turning the crank. It felt weird at first. But then, like magic, it started knitting. I made a few rows, and it was actually working! I was so excited, I kept going. I made a tube, which is what you get when you knit in the round. It’s perfect for making hats or scarves.
Mistakes and Fixes
Of course, I made some mistakes. Sometimes the yarn would slip off a needle, and I would get a dropped stitch. It was frustrating, but I learned how to fix it. You just have to carefully put the stitch back on the needle and keep going. It took some practice, but I got the hang of it.
What I Made
In the end, I managed to make a few things. I knitted a simple hat, and it turned out pretty good! It was way faster than using regular knitting needles. I also tried making a flat panel, which is what you get when you knit back and forth instead of in the round. That was a bit trickier, but I managed to do it. I think I’ll try making a scarf next.
So yeah, that’s my experience with the Addi King Size knitting machine. It’s a fun little gadget, and once you get the hang of it, you can make things pretty quickly. Just remember to use the right yarn and be patient with yourself. Happy knitting!
