Liked length of video as I'm a beginner

[@sheepishlysharing]

Yes! This is exactly what I needed! I was under the impression you had to remove the yarn from the carriage and do something unusual! I think i can do this! And I enjoyed the casual conversation and thanks for the kind words, too!

[@maureenirish-gorvin6254]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video! I have had to refer back to it again and again. Thanks so much!

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

[@gailcasalini7749]

Love, love, love this video. I appreciate you doing this in real time and showing the entire process. I think I can do this now.

[@pomcloset2871]

I just love addi machine🌹😍 We can create so many items with it 😉

[@tainagal3074]

Excellent, excellent video. I watched it twice!

[@judiwallace9585]

So helpful.. thank you. Got this machine for Christmas ...

[@jenniinabinette7940]

Thank you! your video really helped. My dad bought me an addi for Christmas and I am now just getting started :)

[@Terrilene6]

Awesome tutorial Suzi. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video. I absolutely love this type of brim. I am making quite a few of these hats for local charities.

[@7gloryf]

Thanks for the great tutorial! I just ordered my Addi Pro; and can't wait to receive it! Gonna start slow with scarves, and then I'll order the King!!!

[@ThakYuki]

Thank you for this! I recently got an Addi King Size and was trying to make folded brim hats since I hate the rolled brim. I had the right idea, but seeing it up close I can see where I was going wrong! I didn't make sure the picked up stitch and the regular knitted stitch were both being knitted.

[@SharoninKentucky]

I noticed you are pulling a different loop of yarn than what I have been doing. I am using the yarn between the loop your using. No wonder it always looks like a bigger space than others I have seen. Sure glad I watched this one more time. Thanks

[@fatimascircularknitting7106]

Love this video! Thank you Suzy!

[@CHICHISWEETS]

I'm psyched! You made a mighty fine vid! I want to give this a try tomorrow. THANK YOU.

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

you are welcome, I look forward in seeing your creations

[@melissaerickson4677]

Great video, Suzy!! Very informative!!

[@7gloryf]

Thank you for slow motion tutorial!

[@Bonnie7455]

I totally loved you video!!! I'm truly thinking about buying a Addi so I thought the best place to start learning before I buy was to come to KZbin and learn, and I'm glad I found this video!!! Could you tell me what kind of yarn weights and yarn types work on the Addi without spending a lot of money, as I want to also make caps and donate them to the hospital in my area along with making them form schools in my area. Thanks for any help and advice Suzy!!!!

[@sissaboolives2012]

The old Legare machines used to use weights to keep their tension even. you can mount the addi over a dining room table that will split open in the middle, run waste yarn, plenty, tie it in the centre, and drop a soft ball in the middle. This keeps tension even! Go with something a little lighter weight for a bit looser knit, you have to experiment:)

[@msdenise1258]

Thank you for doing this video I watched it a couple of times so I understood how to do it, also thank you for continuing it all the way around.

[@CraftyAndy]

Thank you , lots of great useful information.

[@robino5454]

I really appreciate this video! It was great to see it close up and in real time. I live in Florida so the reversible hats seem a little heavy to me. I have done a few with roll brims, but mostly end up hand crocheting which doesn't always look neat at the pickup. This will be great! Robin

[@LaChelle1962]

That was awesome great job.

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

thank you..

[@raghdahulaiba]

Thank you for showing how to knit a brim, i rely liked your way>

[@baluytiara1]

Hello, can you please show me how to put the white row? Thank you very much, excellent video 👍🏻😊🇨🇷

[@purpleshammrock]

Great and clear tutorial. Can you show how to do the farisle on the addi? I tried this but ended with verticle rows of each color not sure if that is how it's supposed to look.

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

well you are one step ahead of me :) Did you watch the answerladies video on it?

[@michelleespinoza4223]

Great video glad I found it. My one question I have is what do do when a stitch doesn't drop and you didn't see it happen after you already went around it happened in your video at the time 22:44 you can see number 15 does not have yarn around the two prong things.. sorry I don't know what to call it when this happens.. I've had it happen to me and I would grab another stitch but it always makes a hole and I don't know what to do... I hope I explained that right..

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

that is not a big thing. It is easily correct with using a latch tool or a crochet hook to redo what had been dropped.. Its like you do when you want to do ribbing, if you undo your stitches they can be done over eg. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apiYZGerbpV9htk or kzbin.info/www/bejne/o17EpJWglpKgj6M

[@sissaboolives2012]

Canada has 2 seasons: winter and preparing for winter! Salut de Nouveau Brunswick! Winter is officially here, Nov. 28, 2014. We are just getting our first substantial amount of snow for the season:) I have seen that video, the sock video done by the German lady, a person who really knows what she is doing(or, got the design from the manual you can purchase). If you watch the YT videos for the Legare or any model of the CAMs aka circular sock machine, from the early 1900s, her method is modeled after those. As is the addi modelled after those machines. But, those machines are pricier, going from $700+ on EBay, or, up to $2500 by the very few(I only know of 2), companies on the planet, that produce them new. What our lady ancestors did with those machines for their families, is truly amazing. Many of these machines were made in Quebec and probably can be found on many old farm or general store properties. I have seen some from Manitoba and on kijiji, from New Brunswick.

[@raghdahulaiba]

hi suzy, could you please do a tutorial how to knit a baby dress using the addi machine. thanks a lot for your awesome tutorials.

[@rosie01ism]

Hi Ty. why do I get loops where I join the brim ty.

[@purpleshammrock]

Pls do a tutorial to do the farisle close up. I tried the othe video but its hard to see since there is no close up. Thanks

[@sissaboolives2012]

My Kindle 's. auto correct is sneaking in undesired corrections: those machines are CSMs ie. circular sock machines.

[@vikivictoria7343]

Great tips..

[@kathleenkochwoodsyknitter9323]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this vid I had just bought the Addi knitting machine both of them and I would like to join group on fb.

[@chi_ria18th34]

Great video I just got my addi . I have a question are you grabbing every stitch like loom knitting a brim or every other stitch? My vision is bad it’s one of the reasons I got the addi.

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

You would grab every stitch

[@kchorn75]

Hi, great video! How many rows do you do AFTER the brim? Or how many rows total is the hat? Thanks :)

[@tamykoennis2982]

Where are your other groups at? I have the invations watching you guys with the adi i want to get an adi too. i like watching your videos

What is waste yarn and how do you do it?

[@alisagumm8547]

Thank You!

[@Jrock32464]

Does anyone know of a tutorial for making a rasta beanie?

[@1949chefjojo]

How do I maintain the Addi. When does it need it?

[@1949chefjojo]

Thank you for showing how to knit a brim. It is a technique I will use. By the way, when a brave soul emerges with a stocking video, please let our community know in English. It would be helpful.

[@thesimplyspoiled1]

Jamaica, Amazon has them. :)

[@teriturkett1]

This is perfect! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Suzy. I think I understand it now and I am going to attempt this in a little bit when I finish my friends infinity scarf. One question. .. how many rows or rotations of waste yarn did you do?

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

I am so glad it helped...I did two rows of waste yarn

[@teriturkett1]

Thank you so much. Yes it is an excellent instructional video and I could see exactly what you were picking up. I am so happy to have found this group. :)

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

:)

[@purpleshammrock]

Brenda, once you take it off the addi with the needle you just pull it tight and the hat will close then you just sew the top like a plus sign, thats it.

[@britanynelson2845]

how do you do this, but with changing the color for the main hat and brim being different colors?

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

Here is a playlist for teaching.. I have a categorized playlist of all addi videos on my channel you should check out kzbin.info/aero/PLPoBpP8fXMV7g59bAPb3-jbRMdQIlRs7q

[@jenniegrimm6697]

hi Brittany

[@skye9510]

how many rows do you do with the waste yarn?

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

I would say about 4 rows would be sufficient

[@annphillips3423]

Do not mind a longer video as you are going slow to teach us how to make a Brim on the hat. We appreciate you very much. Thank you

[@skye9510]

Why are you pushing the yarn down? Are you pushing both down or just one?

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

If you are talking about the knitted stitch, you have to make sure each one is knitted individually correctly, if it is stuck up over the white lip it will not knit properly.. See Addi Tips and Tricks kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZjdaGhuicp9npI

[@anayabakhshi9457]

Ok thanks

[@anayabakhshi9457]

Can size 3 be used?

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

+Anaya Bakhshi im not understanding your question sorry.. what size three?

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

+Suzy Notting AddiKingLoomersandKnits If you are talking about yarn, a worsted weight yarn is the best for addi

[@anayabakhshi9457]

+Suzy Notting AddiKingLoomersandKnits I was talking about the yarn

[@anayabakhshi9457]

What size yarn did you use?

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

+Anaya Bakhshi bernat premium

[@HJKelley47]

My counter seriously skips, unless I turn the handle backward. Can't understand why it works best that way.

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

+Kelley this is a very common problem.. It is the static of the yarn that throws off the counter.. Try holding down the button a few seconds to reset. You could try a sheet of bounce or similar under the feeding yarn. A humidifier in the room sometimes helps.. See the file in the group for other ideas as there was a document made on this subject.

[@irenew6202]

What's the name of yarn that you are using on the Addi?

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

Rose, you should not be getting loops. Make sure you started off with waste yarn as this will make it easier to see your stitches, also watch your tension perhaps will knitting the brim over.

[@robertchristman7987]

I watched the making a brim hat. I had two different people talking at the same time. i was very confused. I could see how to from watching the video, but the didn't really know anything from the voices.

[@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits]

Robert Christman sorry I am not sure what u mean.. Theres only one voice, check again, perhaps u had another window open of another video while watching this.

Too long.....You filmed every stitch......but I did like your video......I am thinking about doing some videos myself......I thought I might "chat" or tell a story.....I am rethinking that.....
