I will, however, use a more high quality yarn for my final products that I can't wait to start making. I have not yet ventured into the realm of flat panel knitting, but plan on writing another post about it when I do. If the previous circular knitting machine caught your attention, but you’re more prepared to invest in a well-known and reputable brand, then the Addi Express King Size knitting machine is the one for you.

The ideal gift for an avid knitter, this circular knitting machine can speed up the knitting process for all sorts of popular items like bobble hats, gloves and other common favourites! I was very pleased with the packaging and care taken by the seller but I was equally pleased with a small fiber optic turtle the seller sent along as a gift. For those of you who love knitting in all its forms, welcome to the exciting world of knitting machines!

I ha ent really had a chance to have a good go at this yet, I have cast on and tried to knit which was fairly straightforward.

After fitting the yarn into the machine, all you need to do is crank the handle and all the stitching work is done for you! What started as a hobby a decade ago led to Matt developing a passion (and then a career) with crochet. We’re onto the first of our flat knitting machines – the Silver Viscount Reed LK150 Knitting Machine. I LOVE the look of knit wear, but it hurts my hands to much so I am very happy to have a way to enjoy "knitting" without the pain.You can weave what you want with your children, experience the fun of weaving, and enjoy your family time.

I was particularly pleased that it came with the necessary plug adaptor so I could use it straightaway. The machine is lightweight and comes with handy clamps, although you will need a wide and sturdy table to position it on. I highly suggest making a swatch with the yarn you desire to use to see how it reacts so that you can make adjustments with the machine for "that" particular yarn. There are smaller versions of this machine available, however we’ve picked this 48 needle one as it’s big enough to create adult hats.You don’t need loads of expensive equipment to start, just check out our beginners guide to weaving and get making with Gathered!
