I do know how to … I do know how to knit by hand and I love the variations you can make. However, since the surgery on my wrist plus the need to make fast projects, I use the machine. I’m afraid my wrist isn’t as good as it used to be : (
The Innovations is … The Innovations is the best so far for ease of use. I like it and hope that they make one with 22 needles as the only other one is so cost prohibitive to indulge in as a hobby. I have a video on casting on and try holding the yarn as you crank the handle until you feel you have the right tension to avoid dropped stiches. Thanks for watching
I have watched all … I have watched all your videos! I have knitted for years by hand with knitting needles – but it goes so slow! I would love to purchase one of these machines. All I want to make is scarfs only. Which one would you recommend for a 45 year old to buy? The innovations looks the best built but I would like you opinion on the ease of use. I hear these machines drop stitches if you are not careful. Thanks for your great videos.
All you have to do … All you have to do is to check the tension and yarn thickness. With all the nice, fancy yarns available now in the market,you will need to experiment and adjust the yarn “give” as you go along.
I love your work! I … I love your work! I watched your videos when I got my Innovations and Matel machines. I now have a circular sock machine. You should think about getting an antique or newer model sock knitting machine. They are pricey, but they’re wonderful and you can crank out great socks and other items. Its an all metal machine with a hand crank. There are plenty of videos on YouTube if you’d like to see on in action.
how much do theese … how much do theese cost? they are very tempting to me : ) i love the result of knitting but it takes for ever! would u recommend one that doesnt drop stiches or is really simple? thank you!
These hand-crankers … These hand-crankers also work better than those with a side hand-turned knob. I’ve used crochet cotton, cast-on quite loose on these round one’s with good results. Fun yarn and sport weight seem to leave a good bit of ‘dust’ requiring cleaning out with a pc-vac or similar. Enjoyable vid.
Right. The newer … Right. The newer ones are really cheap plastic. My 22 needle machine broke and I’ve only found one other in London but the shipping cost is prohibitive. Rite aid carries a 22 needle machine by Kids stuff and according to one review, it is made better and cranks smoothly. Thanks for your input.
At 2:31 the Singer … At 2:31 the Singer is same as Barbie’s. Singer loses stitches ez. Barbie’s angle profile makes work access ez, fair isle or tapestry-needle color adds. Scrap thread or elastic cord cast-on prevents curl just like flatbeds. Final row alt color bind-off is just like flatbeds. Helps to know knit stitches if doing panels on round units, as edges vary stitch kind at stop/reverse direction. Modern units are cheaper plastic than vintage units. And pins are pretty ez to self-replace.
Yes it is big … Yes it is big enough for caps. The trick is, the thicker yarn for smaller heads and thinner yarn for more strech/give. You can also make blankets by knitting flat panels and stitching them together. As long your tension is correct, you will not have any dropped stiches. Happy knitting!
also another … also another question for the innovations knitting machine…do u have a problem with dropped stitches because i talked to some people and they said they get a lot of dropped stitches

I would say it is not great but it works and depending the size of the yarn, the machine will crank smoothly. It does not work too smoothly with thicker yarn.

Hi my message was … Hi my message was to long so I sent it to your inbox.
To all reading this, yes you can knit a size 7- 10 but you will need thinner yarn and loosen the loops on your yarn without dropping stiches. to make the toe, pull the tail where you cast on and the stiches will gather so you can sew the hole shut My other videos may answer all your questions. Thanks for asking.
Thanks for the … Thanks for the video. What size adult socks do you knit on these and what machine? I am looking to knit a size 7 womans and a 9.5 mens sock is it possible? How do you adjust for tention and sock size? How do you make the toe, do you take it off and decress for the toe stitches? Thank you!
