Great video! I have hand knitted for decades. But I feared I would have to give up my favorite hobby due to my severe arthritis. But the Addi has allowed me to continue my hobby without the pain. Thank goodness for these machines!

I have two circular knitting machines and they are tools to save time. It's no more cheating to use a machine for knitting than it is to use a sewing machine instead of hand sewing. I love mine and the more you use it, the more you want to learn to do different things besides hats. Love mine because they save me hours of hand work and I can always add hand knitting and crochet to my machine projects. Love them!

I am so happy to see this video and look forward to more from you in the future. When I bought my Addi Express King Knitting Machine there were very few videos about it. I am a visual learner so the books that came with my Addi were not very much help. I have learned more from you just watching this one video of yours today, that is why I would like to see more from you. I have used kinitting needles to make ribbing for hats before I put them on the machine, I usually bind it off the needles before I put it on the the machine, it makes it easier to start that way.

I started crocheting years ago and I love it! I prefer knit wearable items, though. I can't knit so I started loom knitting. The time consumption is agony! I can crochet an adult beanie in about 2 hours. I've been working on this loom knit beanie for a few weeks now and if I hadn't promised it to someone, I would have long since given up. I'm shopping for a knit machine so when people look to me for a hand-knit product, I'm not ready to jump off a bridge by the time I give it to them. ^_^ It's also murder to people's hands. Women who have RA, I bet a knit machine is life saving. People who gate-keep knitting are monsters. lol

I think that looks amazing for doing quick knit projects. Could you use a circular needle to slip the stitches from the machine instead of a threading the needle through? Then you would be able to just bind off or decrease as needed from the circular. I may have to get one to make scarves with. I start out with good intentions and end up making a cowl.

Say..for example... I'm knitting a PANEL on the King-Size Abbi. A few rows require 45 needles, and other rows require only 40 needles. Am I at risk of breaking the machine if I try to knit only 40 needles, when the machine is set-up to finish a row at 45 needles? (I hope no one thinks it's a dumb question. It's my first time using a knitting machine. And I don't want to break it.)

Ok, had to reach out to Skacel for an answer to this one. Here's what came back: "When knitting panels, you can knit anywhere from 3 sts to 43 sts. There will always be 3sts that do not knit. There are row stoppers that come with the American units in general. The European ones do not come with them, but they can be purchased. These are small red clips that you pop over the needle dividers, and stop the machine in the appropriate place. You can also do this without stoppers. It would take far too long to describe the whole process in an email. Best way to check it out is in a video. I find this one very good and refer people to it frequently. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o17OfKlorcSUeaM " HTH!
