Reviews
This product as a knitting machine is great but on the second project the row counter stopped working I just spoke with amazon about it because they have no number for the hobby queen inc that sold it to me and they said I can send this one back and get a new one but I have to pay $30 more. My only complaint is that they are pricey.
FAQ
Can I use size 4 cotton yarn to make potholders on the addi? The # 4 cotton is too heavy for the plastic hooks. I have used the lighter weight cotton (3 or sport weight). Though the Addi is durable, it is mostly plastic. Anything heavier than a #4 acrylic yarn shouldn't be used.Are there instructions for how to make socks? There are tons of YouTube videos with step by step instructions for all kinds of things you can make with your Addi pro, including socks with and without inset heels. The machine comes with a DVD, but to be honest, I didn't watch it. If you are on Facebook, search for Addi. There is a very active group that posts free patterns and links to videos to get the most out of your Addi!
Has anybody successfully made a sock from fingering weight yarn on this machine? I see conflicting answers and thought I'd ask again. I have not nor would I recommend it. This machine was made for a worsted weight yarn and even then it's a looser knit. If you used a finger weight/sock weight it would be like knitting those with a size 10.5 needle, which is fine if that's the look you're going for. The other problem I would see is the super fine yarn can be a bit difficult to slip so I could see the machine catching on it or things going awry like dropping stitches, etc.
I had recently purchased a knitting machine,different company and type. It constantly skipped stitches. Is this one better? I haven't had a problem with skipped stitches. I do a lot of charity hats and scarves and I love my Addi machines. I have both the big and the small Addi machines. I had 2 other machines, one I sold and one I took back. IMO, the Addi is the best! I hope this helps you.
