Circular Sock Knitting Machine. Introduction to the 80 Stitch Cylinder. CSM. Erlbacher Gearhart

[@nadinedonovan989]

Hello! So happy to see this video. I currently have a 72 cylinder. I tried to make socks for my husband on it. They are very tight around his ankles. He has large ankles and calves. I am thinking of getting the 80 cylinder for him

So happy to see another cranking pod. We're always learning. Thanks.

I love the cranking videos. Thank you for sharing. 🧦

I keep meaning to try to make a universal bonnet with my largest cylinder, but I keep putting it off. You've reminded me again so I might just get to it soon. Thanks for your lovely cranking videos, I love watching them.

Hello from my new home in Swansea Illinois. Now comes the hard part unpacking and putting everything away. Happy New Year! Congratulations on your new cylinder.

I used a spiral paper holder for cast on

I'll be coming to you for help once I get my machine (still slowly paying it off 😀) I thought a starter bonnet came with each cyclinder, I guess not! Not sure where I got that idea from!

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

Your brand new machine should come with one. But since I am adding cylinders to my collection, I am not sure they send a cast on bonnet with those. 🙃

I love your videos.. Question. What sock knitting machine would recommend for a beginner?

[@elmariegeldenhuys160]

Can you make a beanie/bonnet on this machine for a child and adult?

Hello! I just received my 80 needle cylinder from Erlbacher. Do you find it harder to crank? I mainly use Aktiv yarn. Did you get the Ribber with it? If so- have you used it yet?

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

I have not used my 80 stitch cylinder enough to give you the best input. I think you will need to loosen then tension to make sure it cranks well with a fingering weight yarn. I think the 80 is teetering on using a thinner sock weight. I did not get a ribber with it. I have a 64 stitch ribber which i can use with it, but i have notyet done so.

Which cylinders do you use the most?

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

64 and 48. 64 fits almost all people in my family. I think 60 Is very popular, divisible by alot of numbers so good with alot of ribbers

[@mtnmonamona842]

Did the sock fit the size 14?

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

Yes, they fit very well
