I am disabled because of Multiple Sclerosis , knitting with needles successfully is impossible for me . I’m hoping to have success using one of these machines some day . Feeling successful at something is food for my soul , I need to keep creating.
This is a very good alternative to knitting, because knitting with ur hands take so much time. It’s crazy. People who say this is cheating, it’s ok if u got so much time to knit with ur hands but there are other people that just want to make their own personalized clothes. So respect everyone
To those pretentious gits who say this isn’t “real” knitting- get off your high horse and have a think! I have used these with dementia sufferers, stroke survivors, or with arthritis. For people who have been knitters, it gives them a sense of purpose; it makes them happy to create again. Imagine being unable to do what you love, and suddenly you are shown a way you can still knit something simple, and make hats or scarves for family and friends again. Imagine having forgotten how to knit, and you turn the handle, and suddenly a flash of memory comes back and you remember and reminisce about knitting, even if only for a short while. My grandchildren love to use the Addi machines, and yes, I have taught them how to knit with needles as well. Anything that gets children creating is worthwhile. Anything that gives a resident of an Aged Care faculty purpose is worthwhile. We make hats and scarves for homeless... everyone is a winner. So don’t bung on about it not being real knitting. It’s as real as using a pair of needles.
Of course it's real knitting :-). I have a sock knitting machine that was used during WWII to make socks for soldiers overseas. Women (and men) used these kinds of knitting machines to make up things much faster (and a lot of women during those times were also single-handedly raising families and working as well). I think they are brilliant.

I remember when the quilting community was horrified when people started machine quilting. They said the same things, I bet they’re all machine quilting now! It’s called progress.
@@suerobinson Absolutely correct. They said the same with embroidery by machine against hand embroidery.......I've heard this nonsense for 45 years!!!!
It’s like people saying sewing on a machine isn’t real sewing
Thank you for demonstrating slowly so I could actually see what you were doing. I watched a few on baby hats and the knitters zoomed through. Whew!
Just fyi from a former teacher. Taut is for tension meaning tight. Taunt is to make fun of or try to provoke someone. Thank for a well displayed video.
I love my Addi Express Kingsize...I buy yarn on sale or from thrift stores and make winter caps to donate at the women's homeless shelter. They are always happy to get them and I am in SE South Dakota where winters can get brutal.
My only question is the cost. I'm intrigued because I too donate hats I knit... I'm thinking of how many more I could pump out and quicker.
Someone tell how make dishcloth on this please
I am hand knitting my first pair of socks, and while I LOVE knitting to relax and to have a sense of accomplishment, I think I’ll have to invest in one of these gems and rattle of socks of QUALITY that will last. What a terrific AND AFFORDABLE tool. Thank you for a terrific tutorial!!!
Just fascinated
This is my first exposure not caught on
I would like to see a completed item
Long time needle knitter
For those that say this is cheating..how foolish!! I knitted for several years and had to stop due to crippling rheumatoid arthritis. This machine allows me to knit again. Even if people don’t have arthritis, it’s still foolish to call any time of craft done in any way, cheating.
Excelente

Isn’t it very limited on what it can do though? Cables, k1tbl etc
@@andysmith9340 It is! But I'm not sure how that comment relates to the original post that talks about "cheating."
@@littlecottage Ok. Is it cheating with very little limitations? Satisfied? 😝
I can finally knit panels thanks to this video. I have watched so many and just couldn't figure it out. But this video has me knitting panels for sweaters, vest, blankets, and anything else that can use flat panels. Thank you so very much!!
A little tip: you can indeed get rid of the little tab. Instead of letting the black needles at the end grab the yarn on the first round, have the yarn hook onto the red beak-shaped thing after the last white needle and from there, feed the yarn into the yarn holder thing. Then just turn the handle like normal. Bam. No more tag.

Nice
I am so glad you pointed that out. I used to love embroidery, but developed carpal tunnel in both of my hands. Also, if you are more interested in design, texture, and fit than you are in the actual act of knitting, it’s perfect.
Made things at school but never made anything from this day so it's good to lean all over again as to watching what can get made .Thank you.
I think it’s brilliant I had one of these as a kid, it was one you did yourself an easy loom type my mum had always knitted and tried to teach me I didn’t have her skill but we would sit together making stuff. It isn’t any different then people who bake but use a machine with a whisk. If it helps you then use it. Stop making issues about items that makes life easy. Nobody is forcing you to use these items, choices are up to you. If it make it easy for you and keeps you happy and active then sod the rest who have nothing better then to moan.
Thank you for the demo. This is a huge time saver and I never considered doing a flat panel instead of making something circular. For those that have lots of time to hand knit, more power to them, but some of us have busy lives and need to save the time for really important things.
The negative comments are so funny! Every innovation is met with critics! When the sewing machine was invented, people said it wasn’t real sewing! When machine quilting started, people said it wasn’t real quilting! Get real people, any tool that can help a person express themselves is a wonderful thing! And can let a person expressing themselves for many more years when hand work is impossible due to age or handicaps!
That was amazing! I have a knitting machine that I got for Christmas last year and it is still in the box. Now I can make something.
Hello, I can watch your videos all day! Just purchased the Addi Express Kingsized knitting machine. Great video with lots of really fantastic info. Thank you.
How many keys does it have? 48?
Never in my hole ife seen a machine like this to do all this work its so good to see you doing all this work well doe to you. THANK YOU.
What a great machine, and a nice clear Tutorial. Isn't it a shame when you went to such effort to create this and post it for all to benefit from free of charge that some narrow minded & ungracious people can only think to criticise you & correct your Vocabulary.
maybe they are giving her info she doesn't have - which is gracious of them.
Saying FYI is not being polite it's being insulting.
The best video I've seen on flat panel knitting. Thank you. I haven't tried flat panel knitting yet but today is the day!
Nice machine... Where r this machine
Can you make the panels different sizes, or only one size?
i just love the sound it makes lol
Taylor Wilkerson a
I love it too...being disabled I've been knitting on addi (I just purchased)...my dog (Bear) on the other hand, jumps up to nap....gives me a,dirty look n takes off to living room to sleep...
Maybe he'll get used to it...lol.
Lol so do I. You have to have a strong arm Luv. My Addi arrives tomorrow.
Me too😂
Wowwww this is my first time in life that I am watching an actual knitting machine it's so amazing I want to have one 💋❤️🌺💋🇵🇰
To everyone who says this is cheating, or this isn't real knitting, etc...
This would be ideal for someone who has issues such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or maybe they have limited use of one or both arms. So get off you high horse and just chill.
Isabeau Chantal even great for people who are time poor.
Linda right! like they only wear non machined items ever.
The history of handicrafts has always involved mechanizations of the process. It's a rule going back as long as people have been knitting. Nothing to feel bad about.
exactly. why does knitting have to be hard or a long drawn out process
This goes for quilting also. I often hear quilters say "It isn't a real quilt if it isn't hand-quilted (vs long arm machine quilted). These same people are not hand piecing, or using hand crank or treadle sewing machines but modern sewing machines. Often high end ones at that.
Ty for this I anxiously waiting my Christmas gift 🎁😄🤣, learning all I can
I think these are great machines! I can only knit straight lines....so this is perfect for me!
Ive been trying to make ponchos for my niece and great niece for Christmas. This is going to save so much time.
Karin Skacel, thank you for this tutorial. I bought a different brand of this machine as a gift for my Daughter (with Down Syndrome) who keeps attempting to crochet gifts for others, but can't quite get the hang of it. This machine seems to provide a great service. The instructions her machine came with didn't suffice, so I landed here. But, there was one problem we encountered while watching and listening. It has nothing to do with the machine, but the verbal instruction. Whoever might happen to read this, Please don't hate me for the following comment, I'm simply offering an observation to help the instructor do a better job. Several times, Karin, instructed to hold the yarn to keep it "taunt". The word that should be used is "taut". Very similar sounding, but with a completely different meaning. This may seem like a BIG criticism for such a small mistake, but as you may already know, the word "taunt" is often all too familiar to an individual born with Down Syndrome or other learning setbacks. Turns out to be a pretty big "oopsie" in this video.
I love the addi so much. It makes my life easier 😀🌷
Amazing. Good job who invented this thing. Gonna look for this online and do the easiest knitting and make bonnets or scarf.
🌼🌻🌷Good, clear instructions! Thank you for sharing! I'm going to make my husband & son a nice, warm beanie for winter!
Thank you for the video, very good close ups. I’m waiting for my Sentro to come and this will help.
I’ll check for a scrap yarn cast off you mentioned.
Hopefully you will find the time for additional tutorials on the Addi.
I'm saving up for one can't wait
did you manage to get one?
Normal People: a panel of yellow yarn
Me: *F R E S H L Y K N I T T E D R A M E N*
HAHAHA IKR
Your videos are so clear and understandable. Kudos to you. Thanks for going to all this trouble.
Hey... Thanks so much! The loopy thing at the end kept on coming and I thought that it was a mistake so I kept on doing it over and over again.

I have had the king loom for 5years ,I watched 1 of your videos on how to use it, but yet again I can no use it ,I have taken hey machine 0out ,I have no be able to stop the droped stichs with big holes ,I tthink I wil put the addi away for a few more years ,I can knit well ,
I have been doing flat panels wrong. Thank you for showing me. I thought I was supposed to take the thread out and manually wrap it around the needle at the end of every row.
Сколко стоит
This is a great learning video!
Thanks so much!
How can i make the scarf narrower than this? Can i move the black stoppers to a desirable width? I hope to get an answer fairly quickly. Im so far behind on my projects that i went from crocheting hats for Christmas, to scarves.
I oder one cant wait to. Use it thanks. For shearing
Question for anyone who can answer this. I'm hoping to get one soon. When knitting panels, I know you can make scarves with flat panels, but is this ideal for if you want to knit a blanket? I'm so new at this machine (never used it before) but love it better than looms already.
You can knit panels and stitch them together. But remember each panel will be as wide as the circumference of the circle
Сколько просмотрела таких видио, с разными приспособлениями для вязания-это просто супер,но у нас я такого не встречала,как жаль.
Да вы правы такой у нас нету
Qual o valor que você pagou na sua máquina de tricô
To all the whiners saying this is cheating, a washing machine is cheating, a dishwasher is cheating, a sewing machine is cheating, get over it, machines are just another adaptation, end of! Great tutorial!!
Dishwashing machines are cheating.
merci beaucoup, très bien expliqué
Well done to you .
Can you make a graphgan with it? (A blanket with many color changes)Omg!! Cause if so, where blankets take me several months to make, I could crank them out faster..
It would be perfect for making a bulk amount of hats, but the edges are still going to curl if you don’t use purl stitches. But it is a great machine.
Great tutorial. Sadly I lost a couple of stitches for 5 rows and flogged it. Guess I stick to rounds till I try flat again. 😢
+Alexandra Hüster
It's all about keeping tension on your working yarn! Practice will make perfect!
+SkacelKnitting thank you. I will try again soon.

What can you do with this except make hats and scarves? Also, do you have to make your flat piece around the whole machine?
🙏🙏 Very nice 👌 👍 😢 Thanks Sister ❤❤
Nice video
Thanks for the video. I want to do a hand knitting bind off and at around 6:40 and somewhere before that you mention another bind off option...but I can't find the video for that, you just say "that I'll show you in a minute". Do you have a video on this? Thanks :)
How do you knit a flat panel that is less than the 46 stitches? For example ... what if I only want to knit a piece that is 30 stitches wide.
Great for making a large number of hats for charity.
Iv just got my addi king knitter today Sunday Amazon IV been after one for a year naw and I got one today I'm chuft with it I already have a addi express and the egg too naw I have all 3 of them
seems to be easy, but every time I try to use this again it keeps going wrong. I've had this Addi for 4 years, but it just doesn't work. I lose the yarn, usually at the last white row (right next to the 3 black ones) even when I knit round, it goes wrong. really a shame. I like to knit, I can no longer knit very well, I have rheumatism in my thumbs.
Do you have to lubricate the machine from time to time, and if so what kind of oil would be best. Thank you for the video I know it was done a while ago, it was good information. Cheers!
Hi this might be a silly question but... I'm quite a large individual. It's there a clothing size limit to these machines?
Hello Liz, did you ever find out the answer to this? I’m wondering the same thing. I suppose doing colour blocks would be an option, but I wouldn’t want that for everything.
;; does the panel have to be so big? Can I make like a small panel? Or does it have to be the whole thing?
Good afternoon, I would like to know what the value of this loom is, because I liked it very much and it was practical and quick to do the work with him, my name is Raimundo and I live in Brazil, for the moment Thank you
Usually between $200-300.
In Gogloo estan los precios varian mucho de acuerdo sl tamaño
Everytime I try to do this when I go the other way the whole thing gets wonky and comes undone... idk if my machine is broken or what but I don't have anywhere near this result
Donde konsigo uno igual xfaz informacion
Is it possible to do holey patterns and Nordic patterns on this machine?.
you can also buy this machine in Julian CA at Kats knitting barn (I believe its called) she's a very nice lady that gets it straight from the manufacturer
Thanks for the tutorial!!! How do you avoid the curling on the edges???? It's driving me crazy how they curl!! I hace tried blocking, ironing, everything!

"Taut (tight)" not "Taunt (tease)"
a pet peeve for me...
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.)
Tomeka Ridley I believe that you can buy stoppers which go on the pegs so you can adjust the width
The stoppers came with the machine but people doing the videos don't seem to use them. It would help to have some tips on how to use them properly and still get exactly the number of stitches you planned to do.
Want to know if I can do a flat place for fingerless gloves and how many rows if I can make it this way?
Hi Lydia, you absolutely can! How many rows depends on how long you want your glove to be. We'd recommend starting a piece, and stopping once you feel like it's long enough. Each hand is different!
So wonderful machine :-) How to buy one in my country Sweden? Hug from me in Gothenburg
I have been following your directions but when I turn the handle it it a bit hard to turn and I get a clicking sound. The shuttle is closed and it doesn't make the sound when the yarn is not in the machine. I did not get the booklet with the machine when I bought it from Amazon. I wrote and told them this and never received an answer. Now I found out I need to pay $25 for the booklet.
jossefg12 same with me-i didnt get anything with mine. it makes a hard clicking sound on the cast on and first row then gets better. i have to remember to close the shuttle door!

Olá meu nome é Sibele ,a onde encontro este aparelho para comprar?
Do you think a row of foundation single crochet stitches make help lay the fabric flat? I will try it and let you know.
What do you do if the white needle isn't actually catching all the way?
Hola. Con ke nr de lana se trabaja? Acabo de comprar esta maquina hoy
You are more than amazing. Is there any kind of export of this kind of machine to Egypt?
How does it work for mirrored decreases or is that something you would have to remove is from the loom for?
Existe patron para hacer diferentes puntadas?. Gracias por la informacion
Hello, do you turn the handle "clockwise then anti-clockwise" for every second row?
Heather Watson yes!

Do you have a video that shows how to do 2 different colors on 1 panel?

What is the maximum width you can make on this machine?
How to make baby clothes on addi Expre
Como hago para obtener una???
im sure the website has the dimensions of the machine
When you make a flat panel on these knitting machines, how do you get the edges to uncurl? Anyone know? I find it irritating. I end up doing some kind of crochet stitch all around the edges just to overcome the curling tendency. If someone has other options, I'd be glad to know.
When you pull the yarn taut, to make the edge nicer, should you do it on both ends?
When i knit in the flat panel i also get this clicking sound going counter clockwise but its fine if i knit in a circle. Is there something wrong with my machine?
My stiches keep dropping. No matter what do, it seems to skip 4 at once sometimes
Can u order new hooks for the table that secures it to the table
Is there a way to do a more sturdy/stable bind off like with real knitting?
