Hi Margaret (,Daisy From Australia) I have watched all your videos on the Addi machines. You Inspired me to buy one, I knit for Charity and decided to but the king size . to make hats for adults on it. I Make crochet baby blankets and I knit heaps of baby items as well. The machine came yesterday. but it was faulty and you could tell it had been used. I bought it as a new item. so disappointed there. Any way the shop are sending me a new one. and they are paying the return postage. I have learned heaps from you and I just wanted to say thanks for your fun Videos . just have to work out Australian yarns to use on it now :) daisy :)

[@margaret.olander]

Glad to know the shop made it right! Aussie Julie Greenfield is on several of the Addi Facebook groups and is very Addi-knowledgeable. I'm sure she'll have so great recommendations. (I know she's on "Addi King Loomers and Knits" but not sure what else.)

[@Bonnie7455]

Oh my Margaret.....I love how you made this adorable looking little hat with the knot on top🥰

[@margaret.olander]

Glad you liked it, Bonnie!

[@cherylheming1714]

The little Top Knot hats are so sweet!

[@margaret.olander]

Thanks, Cheryl! They're a classic for babies and I knew there must be a way to do it on the Addi machines!

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Great tutorial. Every time you do an Addi tutorial I’m thinking I really need one! I’ve been contemplating for two years! I think that should tell me something. Your last tutorial for premie hats really got me going. I’ve crocheted 31 so far. Now I just need to find a hospital that is willing to take them. Thanks for the incentive, I have really been using up some of my yarn.

[@margaret.olander]

Wow! 31! And when you find that hospital, you can then get an Addi and keep that hospital supplied!!

[@Daphne510]

You should try your local hospital. I work for one and they take donations.

Cute idea

[@margaret.olander]

Thanks, J! Fun and easy!

[@KazAussieYarnaholic]

What a cute twist. Will have to give it a go. Have been going flatstick since Tuesday. LOVING MY MACHINE! I'm so inspired by your videos. ☺🇦🇺❤❤

[@margaret.olander]

There are other machine users that do much fancier things (and not just hats) so be sure to look around at their videos, too! These little machines are fun!

[@MandyCloud55]

Oh wow I never would have thought of doing that , I may break out my addi machine! thank you for the video Margaret !

[@margaret.olander]

It’s an easy one, Sheri!

[@stitchingsmilesbykathiestu5231]

Thanks, Pamela! Love that little hat!

[@1wildwackywoman]

Cute! Happy new year Margaret ❣️

[@margaret.olander]

Thank you! You too!

[@1wildwackywoman]

Wow! Ingenious! Thank you for taking the time to do this video. BTW, love that “bird” cap - so cute❣️

[@margaret.olander]

Glad you liked it! I loved that birdie hat, too! So creative!

[@sallystevens2947]

I love it! I thought you'd have to make the hat long and then try to tie a knot which would be too thick! I also like your clear instructions! 😊

[@margaret.olander]

So glad you liked it, Sally, and thanks for the kind words! Have fun with it!

[@cottagekeeper1044]

You are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!

Ha! Thanks, Sylvia! Fun and easy!

This is so so cute!!

[@margaret.olander]

I'm so glad you like it!!

[@DixieGirl9876]

Saw this and thought I'd share. A tool to use with the Addi machines. Krankie, a tool you use with a hand drill makes fast work of cranking. Hoping you and yours are well.

[@margaret.olander]

Yeah... the Krankie has been around for a while. Some have had issues. I've heard they're not selling them anymore.

[@rosie01ism]

Love it ty.xx

[@margaret.olander]

You're so welcome, Rose!

[@r.b.3877]

Hi! In your opinion, the size of the machine's needles is equivalent to what size of conventional knitting needle? Thank you

[@margaret.olander]

Oh dear... Ummm... well... it's hard to say since gauge is such an issue and I explain how it varies on these machines in this video: Addi Express FAQs, Tips, Explanations! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqKQZ2qtqNmKpbM

[@JG-yh8wz]

Helpful! Thank you!

[@margaret.olander]

You're so welcome, Julie! Have fun!

[@ilahaskard7919]

These hats are adorable. I am new Addi King owner. Would this work for a child size? Need more needles for cord? Love your videos.

[@margaret.olander]

Of course! Just as I said in the video, use your favorite hat pattern and just put the cord on one end! 3 seems to the be magic number for the cord but you could certainly experiment and see what happens when you try more needles.

[@lindseyrobinson1016]

Margret, I’m trying to find your post with the “recipe” for hat sizes from newborn to adult. I’m having trouble finding it. I used to have it saved but have somehow lost it...

[@margaret.olander]

You should be able to Google “sheepishly sharing hat sizing chart” and it should take you right to it. I’m not in a position where I can find the link just this moment!

[@lindseyrobinson1016]

Margaret Olander that worked perfectly! Thank you!

[@cookie761]

Hi Margaret. This is cookie.. Would you tell me if I need to clean or oil my Addi king after it's 4-5 years old? It doesn't want to knit with number 4 yarn anymore. No kind of number 4 yarn, that is........it sounds like a machine gun if I try to knit number 4 yarn! But, once in a while,, it does knit #4.....yikes! I always used it for charity hats before using #4 yarn, a lot!. What happened? Any help would be appreciated.

[@margaret.olander]

Oh goodness, Cookie... It's hard for me to say! I don't think it could hurt to do some routine maintenance.

[@cookie761]

@@margaret.olander Thank you so much! Someday, when I've got 5 hours to spend on it, I will do that. LOL! God bless you!

[@my2trinkets]

How do I do this on a 46 pin machine for an adult hat?

[@margaret.olander]

Same way. Simply put, this is a drawstring-closure hat (basic Addi hat) using 3 of the stitches to form an icord. I show you have to close it in the video.

[@my2trinkets]

@@margaret.olander , thank you so much doll.💜

Awwww cute ty x

[@Crafty3627]

I really admire what you can do with the Addi knitting machine. I purchased the 22 and 46 needle Addi machines. I also first purchased the pink machine with the flower on the front of the machine. I’m enjoying using all three of the machines. Thanks to your videos I have been very patient with them and treat them very gently. Since the recent lockdown because of the coronavirus I have made quite a collection of hats for donation. Finally I am getting to my question for you. I have a pretty normal size head and find the 46 needle Addi machine hats are still a bit snug on me. I’d like to make men’s hats but I’m afraid they will not fit. Do you find the same thing or can I do something to make the hat larger? Sorry this comment is so long.

[@margaret.olander]

Hi, Eloise! I talk about basic sizing in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqKQZ2qtqNmKpbM
