Oh Whitney, I am so sorry that you have not been making more tutorials. Your clear "viewing"and vocal instructions are amazing! This has been a lifesaver for me. I will definitely be watching it over and over until I get it down pat. Thank you for taking your time and effort to do this for us.
I'm brand new to knitting machines (I don't have an Addi... I have a Sentro). In fact, I just got my machine today. So far, I've made 2 hats and a scarf, all from "tubes". I've crocheted for 40+ years and I've been using a knitting loom for about a month so I was kind of able to fix dropped stitches and other "weird" stitches, but this video really helped me identify the potential problems BEFORE they happened. Thank you so much!
I can’t thank you enough for making this video. I have owned my Addi for 4 months now, and finding this posting is a god send. Thank you Thank you Thank you 😊
Again again and again I view your videos. Love, loved, love your tutorials. Thank you for taking your time and effort to help us. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Your video is the clearest and most helpful that I have come across for fixing problems without too much fuss. I am now confidently handling tucked and dropped stitches without resorting to starting the project again. Thank you.
I just got my Addi about a month ago. I needed help in figuring out how to fix mistakes. Wow! You have helped this girl out! Great job. I know this video is 5 years old but I have had it on my computer screen for about a week now, referring back, as needed. Thank you. Great technique.
I continue to use this video when I encounter a problem....you've done a great job on the video and saved me countless of headaches with these issues. Thank you sooooo much.
Omg, your a hat saver!! Lol thank you so much I’ve been taking my hats apart for the last 2 days because I keep getting gaps and dropped stitches. I’m so glad I found your channel!😀
Love your tutorials!!! You are a great teacher. I get my Sentro on Monday. And I’m sure I’m going to watch your videos over and over again. Thank you so very much.
I only got my knitting machine recently. I don’t knit that much with needles. I’ve always shied away from complicated knitting stitches. This video is wonderful. You have covered so many of the errors I have encountered on my knitting machine. I now have the confidence to fix many of them. Thank you so much.
Great tips - thanks so much for showing how to fix in such clear detail. I have had my Addi just about two weeks and had encountered ALL the problems you highlighted so this video was a lifesaver! Many thanks from the UK.
OMG!!!! Thank you so much for this video, this stuff happens to me so often and I didn't have a clue about how to fix it. You just made my life so much easier and my addiction so much more enjoyable! Thank you again for taking the time to show us this stuff.
Wow u have a remarkable comprehension of the mechanics of how this works. I have a hard time with visualizing such things but really want to understand the needles and going backward and forward etc. You helped me so much. I have a knock off version right now I just want to make pieces of knit to play around with dyes, and I will re-knit it by hand. I have found I have to be SUPER gentle with worsted, the first machine I had lasted an hour and the gears got stripped. Then I read that some folks on amazon have similar problems with Addi also, but you really have it down. Thanx again, I shall look forward to more videos from you.
Your video was the best description on how to avoid tucked and fix stitches. Thank you so much. Will you be doing any other videos? I think your content would be amazing.
This is a great video. You have keen insight into the working of the machine. Even after watching, I am not clear enough to duplicate the process from memory, but now know where to come for step-by-step reference when I need it! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us mortals. 🤣With love from BanDana Gramma YT.
am so glad I found your channel am brand new and have been frustrated to tears-- I had dropped stitches and split stitches and just messed up stitches-- to the point I was wondering why I ever got the stupid machines... I have saved this video so I will be watching it over and over so I have an idea of what to do in the future... Ty Ty Ty for this , as I really needed somebody to show me what to do....Have subscribed so I will be watching you th again so much
This the best video for beginners!! Tha j you so much is was getting very frustrated with my mistakes and I have no clue how to fix them till now!! You're awesone!!
Thank you for sharing... I am a new to addi knitting machine and i am glad i found your video.. My mom and i had some of the problems you have in this video.. Gives us a good way to fix our problems. Thanks again for all the tips on it
I have a 22 needle addi and it always catches on the 20th needle. I already have the king size addi and recently invested in the small one and made about 1/2dozen headbands before it started messing up. I’m not sure if it’s the yarn or something wrong with that needle.
you are a lifesaver. thank you for saving my art. this is a wonderfully put together tutorial. I have had these very same issues in my projects and experienced so much frustration as I am a professional fiber artist. thanx again.
Thank you so much. i let the kids participate in making my first hat but one of them missed few stitches and I didn't catch it till she got past them by a few more stitches. This makes so much sense to fix those stitches.
thank you for the clear instructions. I'm new to the Addi and the problem I'm having is it bunches up when I knit. It does it on different needles and I can't figure out how to fix it or what is causing it. Any suggestions you have would be greatly apprecaited
Thank you for this thorough demonstration!!! . Especially helpful that you knew the importance of zooming in on the needles you were talking about and working on. I've only been knitting on my Addi for a month but would have saved myself SOOO much frustration if I had come across this video back then. You need to convince Skacel / Addi to include it or a form of it with the sell of every loom.
Thanks for the great tips. I have a handicapped daughter who loves her ADDI, but often does not catch a dropped stitch until it is way passed the "backup fix" stage.
@@rexlife6372 thanks, I've just made my first scarf, I had a problem with a stitch that wasn't right, I used your video to put the stitch right, can't believe I managed to do it, I usually have to start again when I make a mistake. Thanks again x
Thank you so much. This video is so much help for me as i just got the machine and i kinda get frustrated with the problems i encountered. The books are of no help either. Once again thank you so much
Your Awesome! I have had my Addi for over a year. Decided to organize my closet and realized I started knitting on it to try it out for the first time didn't know how to cast off so I put it up....the scarf is still on the loom lol. I could never find any good videos or instruction ... thank you so much. I'm excited to start using it . Hope I can find more of your videos.
Thanks for all your tips...Love the video...Just a tip for you...I picked up a plastic dental pick? with metal ends at the 0.99 store and works great for getting in and grabbing the stitches...better than the red needle...try it...
To make an adult sized jumper... how and where do you make the initial measurements and then translate these measurements to rows and length? Maybe I am being a bit ambitious here as I have never used a knitting machine before... but making a jumper is my eventual goal. I don’t understand how to calculate the measurements (I have a horror of maths!). I don’t want to just make endless scarves and beanies on my new machine! Thanks for any help! PS. Your instructions are very clearly communicated and understood in this video... I would have probably given up on the whole garment if I dropped a stitch.
Congrats on the new adventures with your machine! Making a jumper would be a pretty big undertaking. Not impossible by any means but I would definitely get comfortable with your machine and the learning curves. I am glad my video has been helpful for you. Good luck on your knitting machine adventures!
I spin my own yarn and I think it is the thickness of worsted #4 but it varies. Sometimes it turns out thick and sometimes thin. I'm new to all the language. I would want to know that my yarn will work. What thickness does your roving yarn above state that it is? I just curious if I'm going to be able to use this machine. Thanks!
Hi Whitney,the problem I keep coming across is ,usually the no. 2 needle,will snag part of my yarn,I won't know till I look down and it's slightly bunched. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is it something simple like a lousy yarn or just me?
Thank you so much. I'm doing a blanket with unforgettable waves (roving). Once done. I wont be using any yarn higher than a #4 yarn. Thanks again. I can use alot of your techniques
Awesome video I have a prym large video I was going to say use so coating silicone when you said it started biting and squeaking it's probably full of fluff
I just got the Addi King. Is the circular size just 48, so you have to make all circular things that specific circumstance? Seems limiting. Can you knit socks on it? Or varying stitch types like cables or seed stitch? Is there a weight to contro the tension? Which groups do you recommend joining to learn more about what is possible with this machine? Thank you!!❤
I am struggling trying to find some online help with today's Addi challenge. I am making a reversible hat where with the outside of the hat I have knitted every other row a Fair Isle stitch alternating 2 different colored yarns (primary hat color and 1 accent yarn color). Once I completed several rows of this F.I., I realized I had a dropped stitch near the first FI row. Because I have all of these float yarns laying around I can't figure out which yarns to work with when trying to correct my dropped stitch. I learned from you how to correct dropped stitches but I am really struggling being able to determine from the back side of the project which yarns to pick up. I don't know if it would solve my challenge but I do not know how to correct dropped stitches from the front of the project. Thank you for any help you can offer. This is the 2nd time this has happened in 2 days. The first time I was only 1/3rd the way through the project so I just frogged the whole thing and started over.
Try using the stitch color next to it as a reference point This facebook group is also a great resource to join for all your Addi questions and Needs :) facebook.com/groups/addikingloomersandknits/
Hey I don’t know if you have the time.or if it is worth a video but I keep getting to the end of my projects and as I’m taking the hat off the machine I lost about four stitches two rows 2 stitches in each row .I couldn’t get the hat back on the needles . Ok so I secured the rest of the stitches. Now the work is off the machine. Do you know how or could you recommend a video where I could learn to fix these kind of dropped stitches. I’m not moving the hat until I know(keep, or frog) Thanks
HELP!! What I need to know is how to take out all the stitches from an incomplete project. I got all the way to row 150/150 of my project before I realized I dropped a stitch at around 145. The project is quick enough that I prefer to just start all over again using the same yarn, but I can't figure out how to take this apart so I can rewind the ball. I would hate to think I'm just out of luck and wasted an entire skein that can't be salvaged. Every tail I pull on only seems to tighten the project to close the ends though. Any tips out there?
This is such a GREAT video. Could you do one on how to do ribbing on Addi? I watched 'Yar for Yarm' over and over and I am still confused. I can not find any other youtube video on how to make ribbing on Addi. if you could help by making a video or maybe you know of a video that is clearer than the one I have been watching. If not I understand how busy you are and I so appreciate this great video on fixing my mistakes.
Doesn't this technique effect the stitch 3 to the right of the carriage at 7:51? Does this stitch also have to be manually kept on? In the video it appears to have been displaced from the little red teeth by the reversing technique.
Okay The Stitch I fixed was #25 Stitch Number #24 & #23 were not affected because they were ready to be knitted with the working yarn and the White Needles did not drop down making it a live stitch. If You go too far Backwards the white needle would have dropped down making it active then you would have to hold it on until the white needle comes back up when it is ready to be knitted. #22 was not affected because the needle only pushed the knitted stitch off and did not bring the active stitch and drop it on the red teeth. If you go too far back it will make #22 an active stitch and then you would have to hold it on when it comes back around to knit. I hope this helps :)
@@rexlife6372 I am still confused by this part, # 22 comes of the teeth when you backup to fix #25, the working yarn is suppose to get pulled threw the loops, since #22 has pushed off. how can it get knitted properly when it comes around again ?
@@jynx-vu2zc So as you knit you will notice there is a loop of yarn around every set of red teeth. As it come back around to the front of the machine the needle begin to rise up. This in turn pops off the loop that was on the red teeth and it slides down the back of the white needle dropping drop. So if you pop off the loop while fixing a stitch it will not affect your knitting because it would get popped off anyway as it came around for a new row.
I am knew to this and i am just learning i wanted to know while i am turning and turning i get little bubble stitches is that where a stitch drooped off? I am guessing that the adi and the innovations are almost the same thing my mom got me the innovation so i will be getting the adi if i can master this one.
This is the best video and explanation so far and I wish I could do this but I get so confused when one needle is popping up and which one is which and how to maintain the others at the same time. ugh.
I am so sorry for the late response I typed it the other day but I guess it never posted. There can be many answers to this. First off I have the older model Addi from what I understand the newer ones have a manual counter which makes more noise. That noise would be normal with that type of counter. It also could mean you machine has a lot of use and could need cleaned and lubricated. With the dropped stitches the could be many things as well. It could be related to your tension or the type of yarn. For example red heart tends to be a rougher yarn so it grips onto itself creating problems for the knitting machine. It could also mean that a specific needle made need to be replaced. If your machine is very new and you are concerned you could always send it for a replacement. I hope this help :)
re grinding gears - I did see a video where a woman greased the needles - it's actually recommended somewhere. also, I'm checking into having to replace the red ring - teeth broke - I am getting a replacement but I found out my local library has a 3d printer so will call them about getting it "printed"
Hello thank you for your video, I'm new with the Addi Express but I having s few things I just can't fiqure out. The most important thing is how come when I go around the machine the white pegs won't come back down? I just can't figure it out. Can you tell me? Thanks so much!

Great tips! Very helpful. Thank you
I always use my loom knitting hook to fix my mistakes if I can't grab the loop any other way. Much easier than a plastic needle.
Same here. Works well!
Absolutely love the video...it is truly helpful in building confidence when those pesky stitches drop etc Realllllllly appreciate it. Thanks x

Hello It depends on how you casted off. You need to remove the yarn that you used to cast off with in order to unravel your work.
This is such a GREAT video. Could you do one on how to do ribbing on Addi? I watched 'Yar for Yarm' over and over and I am still confused. I can not find any other youtube video on how to make ribbing on Addi. if you could help by making a video or maybe you know of a video that is clearer than the one I have been watching.

Doesn't this technique effect the stitch 3 to the right of the carriage at 7:51? Does this stitch also have to be manually kept on? In the video it appears to have been displaced from the little red teeth by the reversing technique.
Okay The Stitch I fixed was #25 Stitch Number #24 & #23 were not affected because they were ready to be knitted with the working yarn and the White Needles did not drop down making it a live stitch. If You go too far Backwards the white needle would have dropped down making it active then you would have to hold it on until the white needle comes back up when it is ready to be knitted. #22 was not affected because the needle only pushed the knitted stitch off and did not bring the active stitch and drop it on the red teeth. If you go too far back it will make #22 an active stitch and then you would have to hold it on when it comes back around to knit. I hope this helps :)
@@rexlife6372 I am still confused by this part, # 22 comes of the teeth when you backup to fix #25, the working yarn is suppose to get pulled threw the loops, since #22 has pushed off. how can it get knitted properly when it comes around again ?
@@jynx-vu2zc So as you knit you will notice there is a loop of yarn around every set of red teeth. As it come back around to the front of the machine the needle begin to rise up. This in turn pops off the loop that was on the red teeth and it slides down the back of the white needle dropping drop. So if you pop off the loop while fixing a stitch it will not affect your knitting because it would get popped off anyway as it came around for a new row.
@@rexlife6372 Ok now I get it, Thank you !
@@jynx-vu2zc Your Welcome :)
Wow great video! No more starting over
Thanks for this video, you saved my day 👍
I'm glad it helped :)
Also, thank you very much for this video. It explained a lot of issues I was suffering.
Thank you for the tips greatly appreciate it thank you for sharing
I am knew to this and i am just learning i wanted to know while i am turning and turning i get little bubble stitches is that where a stitch drooped off? I am guessing that the adi and the innovations are almost the same thing my mom got me the innovation so i will be getting the adi if i can master this one.
This is the best video and explanation so far and I wish I could do this but I get so confused when one needle is popping up and which one is which and how to maintain the others at the same time. ugh.
How do you recommend doing flat panels? In different sizes....
Thanks so much for the demo on dropped stitches.
:)
Thank you for the video! It’s so helpful ❤
My addi drops stitches all the time and I just bought it. Plus it makes a lot of noise any advice?
I am so sorry for the late response I typed it the other day but I guess it never posted. There can be many answers to this. First off I have the older model Addi from what I understand the newer ones have a manual counter which makes more noise. That noise would be normal with that type of counter. It also could mean you machine has a lot of use and could need cleaned and lubricated. With the dropped stitches the could be many things as well. It could be related to your tension or the type of yarn. For example red heart tends to be a rougher yarn so it grips onto itself creating problems for the knitting machine. It could also mean that a specific needle made need to be replaced. If your machine is very new and you are concerned you could always send it for a replacement. I hope this help :)
re grinding gears - I did see a video where a woman greased the needles - it's actually recommended somewhere. also, I'm checking into having to replace the red ring - teeth broke - I am getting a replacement but I found out my local library has a 3d printer so will call them about getting it "printed"
Iva Lindsay hi
I just did mine with white lithium grease and now it is so quiet and runs better than it did new
Thank you, this did help me trouble shoot my slipped stitches!😀
Awesome! I needed ALL of this😊
Super! I have been looking for these tips. Thank you
Thank you. Can you decrease on this machine
Hi Janet Yes you can decrease either by catching the loops with scrap yarn or moving it to another needle and knitting it together.
Hello thank you for your video, I'm new with the Addi Express but I having s few things I just can't fiqure out. The most important thing is how come when I go around the machine the white pegs won't come back down? I just can't figure it out. Can you tell me? Thanks so much!
