I’m a knitting machine newbie. I’m so glad I ran across your channel. You are so pleasing to watch. And so easy to understand. Thank you so much for all you wonderful tutorials. Blessings ❤
Hi, I love your videos and watch each one that comes out. You are a great teacher and that’s coming from a retired college instructor. One thing that has helped me with yarn that either pops up or gives me tucked stitches is to add a couple of those big 2 inch binder clips to the bottom of my work. They seem to just add enough weight and tension to keep my yarn on the needles. I’m so going to make this hat. It’s so pretty.
That is a high compliment coming from a retired college instructor. Thank you so very much! ❤️great idea with the 2” binder clips! Thank you for following my channel. I appreciate you! 🥰
I love this pattern, even though I have only knitted the beautiful ear warmer and beanies..I am going to be brave and try something a bit different and challenging for me..hahah wish me luck Shelley!! 😂
Thank you I have not made a sweater yet to be honest. I have done very little flat panel work but once I do, I will post it. I will put that on my to do list for sure. 🥰🥰
I can't tell you how creative you are. Your videos are wonderful. Thank you sooooooo much for sharing your ideas and talent. I just purchased a addi 46needle and the smaller addi machine on Amazon. I am excited on learning how. I crochet and knit by hand . I am hoping it will be easy to learn. Could you please share a video on what brand of yarns are best to use on the addi machines♥♥♥🪡🧶♥
You are very kind. Thank you for your encouragement. There are a lot of yarns that work well but stay away from the course feeling yarns. I like some colors of CraftSmart yarn and don’t like other colors. Often because of the dying process, the lighter colors like white and off white are difficult in the machine in that particular brand. However so is black and some other dark colors. Stay away from that yarn and Red Heart Super saved when your learning. Caron Latte Cakes work amazing and so do most Bernat Super Value colors. Heritage yarn works. Most 3 weight yarn and thinner feeling 4 weight yarn. 100% Cotton does not work. You will really have to just try. Maybe start with a Caron Latte Cake to get the feel of your machines.
I've noticed that too. Coarse yarn tends to catch on the machine (I use a sentro). I tend to go slow anyway since I do different patterns other than regular knit, but there was one time I went in with 2 yarns at once for more color variation, and needless to say, it was a pain in the neck. It turned out really nice, and I would definitely do it again, but I check the coarseness of my yarn now, haha
I have never held two yarns together in the machines but I have thought about it. You should post your project in my FB group. Join if you haven’t already. I’d love to have you there. facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594
Hi Shelley, thank you for another nice video. I ordered a lot of the craft smart yarn, because I saw you knit with it on the addi and it looked easy to work with. OMG. I'm working on a blanket for a queen size bed. It's an ordeal to say the least. I don't think I want to use this yarn ever again. Very hard on both hands. And the machine. Same on the sentro. Anyway, I have to finish it. 13 tubes. 400 rows each. 🤪The positive side of it is that it will be beautiful and warm. Hopefully I can use it before winter ends. 🤭☺
Hi Evy I am sorry that you are having such trouble. I use Craftsmart all the time but I also share in my videos which colors my machines hate. All of the rougher colors. White, ivory, black, pink. Some other colours are no problem. Feel the ball and if it feels rough at all, even slightly, your machine wont like it.
I have had no trouble with a mess. I actually prefer duplicate stitching because it gives extra texture and dimension. I’m sure a graph would be beautiful as well.
Love, love, love your videos. I'm seriously considering getting a Sentro knitting machine. When I saw your video of the beanies with the matching scarves is when I really decided to purchase a machine. Your tutorials are top notch. You explain everything so well. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Sherri! 🥰 That is so kind of you to say. I will also be adding more crochet. Wish there were more hours in the day! Haha I would like to invite you to join my newly formed FB Group.

Hello. I noticed on one of your videos that you have a burn on your right hand, I think. I hope you are doing better from that, if that was what you had anyway, please take care. I really enjoy your videos because they're very instructive for me. I'm barely new to knitting on the machines and I will check my yarn to make sure to buy soft yarn. So again, I really learn a lot from watching your videos! Take care and God bless.
Thank you so much! Yes, last Christmas I was making a dessert and had to boil sugar. It splattered when I stirred and I got a terrible burn. All better now except the scar. Thanks for your concern 🥰! Blessings to you as well ❤️

As I was watching, I was wondering if that wouldn't be easier to do before you put the hat together, when you could still have your hand on the back? So, I assume that you are going only through the front layer? I really like your videos. I like the way you think and I like your thought process! You are very creative and I love that! Keep up the good work. I will subscribe! God-bless you. You are the 1st person who makes hats almost exactly the same way I do! I will be watching......
Thank you very much for your kind words and welcome to my channel community! I think you could do it either way but it is finishing work so I like to do it last. I am also a very visual person so having the project completed first helps me to centre it perfectly based on where the brim lands. Yes, I only go through one layer. 😍
Super schön 😊 Mit der Wolle die sich immer wieder verheddert habe ich auch Probleme.... Ich dachte dass die Maschine kaputt ist😟 Aber dann habe ich mit Gewichten,drin, nachgeholfen und es ging. Und jetzt nach dem Video habe ich auch die Bestätigung das es an der Wolle liegt. Vielen Dank 👍🏻😃

Hi please, can you help me? I would like someone's help to tell me how many stitches you need to create an adult hat, medium hat, sock, and even a scarf? Would you help me?
This is great but I'm doing the embroidery before I close up the beanie. I have a certain way of weaving in and tying off that is easier done that way.
I didn’t know I was capable of making patterns. Thank you soo much for your clear instructions.

Thank you Susan! There are some on Amazon I may get.
What I do is clip on the large black clips evenly around the bottom for tention.
Are you going through both layers with the snowflakes? Love this video
No I am only going through one layer.
Thanks for watching. I hope you make one!
You’re right about machine not liking a color. Does anyone have a white color that works great on the knitting machines?
Bernat “Premium” from Walmart works great. So does Big Twist - Hobby Lobby.
I wish you would've shown how to do the first parts of the snowflake design because I don't understand.
Here is a video where I teach you how to do duplicate stitching …. Hope it helps! 😊

I made the hat I just have to do the snowflake, is there a pattern I can follow? I love this hat💙❄️
The pattern is in the video.
Is it an idea to use some weights to help the stitches to cat, as you would do with a flat bed machine?
Yes, it’s a great idea! 🥰
Hola buenas noches una pregunta donde compras los plásticos con que sujetas el pom pom
I mention it in the video but I get it from the dollar store.
It’s the process of bleaching that makes the yarn more coarse

If you go to my TH-cam channel you will find tutorials on all you are asking.
Is the yarn you are using the same as UK double knit?
I’m not sure. This is 4 weight acrylic yarn.
What are the row counts? I think I heard 15 then 35 and then to 90 and then 35 for a total of 125. I'm no math wizard but that doesn't add up.
@@monicab28 I am sorry, I do not post row counts. Please watch again. The row counts are there. Not as you mention above.
Do the design work before cinching.
I prefer to do it after cause for me I get a better visual of where to center it.
This is great but I'm doing the embroidery before I close up the beanie. I have a certain way of weaving in and tying off that is easier done that way.
