I appreciate your explanation and showing! I am a visual learner!!! I enjoy your videos. I am a newbie. Now trying to learn to use the ribber. I am looking for good videos on the basics of ribber usage. Thanks.

[@jessys9868]

Yes, it is easy once I did it. BUT I didn’t attempt it until I watched your video.Thanks!

As a left handed knitter and someone who just got a Speedster, thank you for doing these videos! You have no idea how much time and headaches you've saved me, I could cry from happiness!🥲

[@beckyshook3526]

You made me go look under mine it is an antique one I totally did not remember those screws thank you

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

Mine was manufactured in 2021...eek I think. Imi am not sure how older erlbachers were made. But I think it is still quite similar in design. Some people I think have put bolts with 'wing nut' type ends so they can hand tighten/loosen without a tool

Always helpful. I don't have a CSM "yet". But when I do, This is probably where I will start looking for tips and tricks on how to make it do the things that I want it to do. 🥰

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

[@Jmzblondable]

So what I want to know is how to put the needles in, my crank won’t go around to let me put the rest of the needles back in. We need a beginner tutorial to show us how to actually get started. Love your videos

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

I feel like something is in the way of your v cam for it not to crank. Also erlbacher just put up this video and the video before it about putting your vcam and a other piece on the machine correctly. It's hard to diagnose what is happening without actually seeing it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inaaYamNo8ydgKc Also if ot is an erlbacher. I suggest calling them to help diagnose. They are soooo helpful

Aquila, I put in the cylinder, same as you, but as I crank past 3 o clock, I hear a clunking sound. People are telling me, it is because of the screws, something about them not being screwed in evenly. I unscrewed them both and rescrewed them both so many times and the problem is not solved. I may call Erlbacher to see what's going on.

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

Sometimes I have to mess with the mechanisms that lift the needles. They need to be pushed back against the cylinder. (The triangles that move, sorry I can't think of proper names right now). I would definitely call erlbacher. They are always super helpful

[@knit1924]

@ yes I emailed Kim Williams a video of those flipper thingies trying to pick up the needles. That is what it is having a problem doing. Thanks Aquila, I’m a leftie too so your videos are a tremendous help! Thank you for everything ❤️

[@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter]

@@knit1924 i am so glad that I could be of assistance and that my videos are helpful. I really want to make more. Life has been throwing me curveball lately. Also, Kim is amazing
