40 Needles Knitting Machine

Did a nice job. I also have an Addi and this one makes a slightly larger hat which helps for those who have a larger head (like my husband). Works great with a medium weight yarn. Heavy weight or fuzzy yarns are a bit of a challenge, and you have to go slow so you don't drop stitches, but I had no problems with the medium weight yearns. Made a bunch of hats and scarves as Christmas gifts using this. Really saved time over hand knitting or using one of those hand looms. Your hand will get tired of cranking if you try to make a bunch at a sitting, but still a great time saver. Haven't figured out how to da a flat panel yet, but that will be my next project.

Bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas. She has really been getting into crochet. I know this is a knitting machine but I definitely won the best grandma award this Christmas! She’s uses it everyday. I can’t speak for function of it but she’s been using it daily for 3 months.

I was able to make the three hats pictured and another one before the machine started jamming and dropping stitches randomly. I still tried to make just a simple tube and no matter how careful or slow I went, the machine jammed. I was using the same yarn as I did for the other hats so it couldn’t be that. The counter never worked accurately so you will have to count your rows some other way. The suction cups do not work either so you will be holding it down with one hand as you crank the machine. I was able to put better quality suction cups on it but that was a separate purchase. If you intend to use this for regular crafting, try another seller/brand. I don’t have the original box to return so I’d likely not get a refund as has happened with another broken item I returned. If you’re thinking of this as a serious hobby, skip this one. If you’re wanting to do this to sell at craft fairs, look into a used brand name machine or start saving for a new one. The machine came with yarn that you can use to make projects. I didn’t love the quality so I used it as waste yarn. I did not open the pom maker that came with the machine so can’t comment on that. Would be zero stars but I guess it made four very expensive hats so one star.

As a long time knitter (15 years), I never wanted to buy a knitting machine. But after having a baby I lost all the time I had to knit and didn’t knit for a whole year. To start knitting again, I decided to start with smaller projects such as socks for my toddler and decided to get the 22 needle knitting machine to make some test. I bought this machine to knit for my toddler mostly and make socks, tights/pants, and sweaters. The package comes with the knitting machine, a crochet hook, a needle and a couple of sample yarn. There is a guidebook to get started too. The sample yarn was very useful as for a test run. The yarn is easy to set up, after 10 min I knitting with the machine. I love hand knitting, it is my lifetime favorite hobby and love the diverse stitches we can do by hand etc. But for simple things, that requires only one stitch and if you do not have time to knit this machine is an eye opener. After I finished with my sample yarn, I started to make socks, and I finished one pair in a couple of hours (including hand the toes and heels) as opposed to a week or two knitting at least 2 hours a day (time that I don’t have anymore). So if you are a knitter like me but don’t have time to knit anymore, using this knitting machine is a nice way to make simple and fast knits.

I’ve used this fairly heavily for about a week now and it definitely has pros and cons but I am overall happy with the purchase! I HAVE had stitch dropping problems as other reviewers noted, I HAVE NOT had the stitch counter break (yet?) as with other reviewers I HAVE used this only with worsted weight or fiber, as well as some textured yarns Cons: —-Will drop stitches, and/or hold on to stitches for too long if you are not careful, reversing the handle to fix this does not “perl” it simply continues the knit motion only spinning the opposite way. If you don’t notice problems, you restart. Pros: —-even frogging an entire scarf that dropped a stitch and restarting takes a few hours as compared to the months of work hand knitting takes, so I don’t care. —-can be used on my lap on the couch, well chaise at least, I go cross cross applesauce and it sits half on me half on a blanket Not really Cons, just annoyances: —- the “1” stitch is not super well marked, it is a white hook, but it hides in the knitting once you get going, going to mark around it with nail polish when I get a chance —-the panel setting is gross and loose, prefer to knit tubes then use steeking method to open them up —- stitch counter goes a little wonky if machine is not flat, like if it’s propped at an angle on my lap on the couch, that’s just the nature of the counter mechanics though, most will do that. Tips: —-EVEN TENSION IS EVERYTHING not pulling, but not loose, I don’t use the tension arm, it’s awkward while on a couch and depending on the yarn can split the fiber or cause loose weave to bunch up and felt together. I just hold the yarn with a few fingers of the hand I use to stabilize the machine. (Photo included) —- loose weave yarns (think: Lion Brand Landscapes or a natural fiber/wool/alpaca) work great despite tendencies to felt together in regular knitting, but textured yarns (think Lion Brand Homespun or other yarns with “bits”)will jam and cause bunched stitches I am busting through my stash with this baby and loving it, though don’t know HOW people stick power drills on them, I would not trust the machine to be consistent enough for that. All in all a good machine that needs a little baby-ing but can create beautiful consistent work at a fraction of the time it takes to hand knit. You are best to know how to knit already (helps with dropped stitches) but I don’t believe that is a requirement to have success with it.

One of the hooks broke and I try to superglue it back on, but kept falling off. It was fun while it lasted🙃🙃

Crocheter/yarn addict. This was one of my best purchase this year. The key is the right yarn. Not all yarn will work for this machine most worsted weight and thick dk weight. Which is 85% of my stash. After finding that I like crocheting blankets it left a whole lot of onesie and twosie balls. I got this to lower my stash. Now I can hand crank a hat in 45minutes and get rid of one ball of yarn. I got the electric crank to save my shoulders and elbow from wear and tear. In 3 weeks I have 42 hats ready and one huge storage box empty and 16more boxes to go

This was an early birthday gift for my daughter, and she couldn’t wait to open the box. After reading the instructions and then watching an even more helpful YouTube video tutorial about using “waste yarn for the first few rows, she got busy and created a Harry Potter scarf for my grandson in a couple of hours. Normally it would have taken her several days. She is so happy with this!!

I had purchased for my granddaughter. The threads kept slipping. We found it difficult to use so I returned it

Dank der Befestigung am Tisch kann man hier tatsächlich richtig schnell Kurbeln. Klar die Bedienung bedarf Übung aber wenn man den Dreh raus hat klappt eine Beanie in ca. 30 min. Flächen bin ich noch sehr am Verzweifeln aber auch das wird besser. Für mich hat sich der Kauf gelohnt.

Muy pequeño. No sirve ni para hacer un gorro.

Some people on Facebook complain about how these machines are cheap and dont work well, but this one works great and runs very smooth. I’ve only just started using it but it works like a dream. There are of course more expensive circular knitting machines but this one works great so will stick to what I have.
