The media could not be loaded. Rubish. Don't waste your money. Couldnt get a row done without stitches dropping or being tangled. There is no directions to help set up or use this machine. The handle sticks and sounds like its breaking not fun frustrating to use. Ive used a sewing machine for over 30 yrs and Im good at trouble shooting. But this is a poor value for your money poor quality and bad performance. Im so sorry i wasted my money on the picec of rubbish.

I've been dabbling in circular knitting for some time, thought I'd like to try one of the smaller machines. The Addi express has 22 pins, and this one 24. Straight out the box I put it together and started knitting... works great! Feels very sturdy. It retails for less than $30 while the Addi Pro is over $100 and has only 22 pins. This one doesn't have a row counter, so I'd need to pay attention. Still it's a great little alternative to the Addi Pro in my experience. EDIT: Ok so eventually I did find that it's pretty finicky on yarns, really doesn't like yarn bigger than 4... and forget Red Heart. I do have a student, an 8th grader, who is cranking out ankle socks out of Joann's Big Twist yarn and loves the machine so much I just gave it to her. She's making socks for all her friends (they all wear Crocs LOL) I'm just tickled!

Bought as a gift for my daughters birthday, handle came broken. Unable to return.

I really tried to make this work. I used every variation of yarn. I taped the whole thing to the table so it wouldn't move. I wasted a lot of yarn and worst of all a lot of my time. This machine was really inconsistent, dropping stitches and leaving gaps. It required watching every stitch to see if it slipped off or not. Nothing I made was usable. Full of holes and long strings. I don't recommend it at all.

Got this as an early Christmas present because I want to make scarves and socks for my kids. After three scarves, one pair of fully-realized, adult socks, and a handful of sock prototypes, I can say it works. The included yarn is garbage, but works well as waste yarn for starting and finishing projects (which makes a big difference in quality of your project). Using new (unused), decent quality, size 3 yarn, I have no issues; the scarves I made with size 4 yarn had the occasional tension problems and it's harder on the machine (click click click).Not having a built in counter got a little tedious when I made adult-sized socks (which look like fish-nets when stretched over adult-male-sized feet and ankles, so I'll only wear them on weekends I guess), but kids socks were easy-peasy. I got this model with 24 needles, so I could do 2x2 ribbing, but my technique isn't great yet, so it looks...uneven.If you are buying this as your first circular knitting machine, or for your kids, do some research on how to use these properly, and you'll have plenty of fun and you'll minimize frustrations. Honestly, this isn't much different than the Addi machine. It may be cheaply made, but you can buy THREE for the price of the Addi, so you've got two to get the hang of it.I've also learned that cleaning and lubricating will eliminate the grinding and clicking; I haven't tried that yet, but I will give it a go after I do my next oil change on my motorcycle.

It just don’t work. Too many different yarns and all the same. Dropped and double stitches

I was excited to find a 24 pin knitting machine, a smaller version of my 48 pin sentro. I'm working on a blanket for a friend, and for the pattern I came up with, I needed a tube that was 24 stitches wide for 2 different colors. I used the correct tension, the correct weight, and read the instruction paper twice to make sure nothing was different from the sentro. I started to work on the tube of some beautiful multi-colored yarn that was the correct weight. It was going great at first, over 20 rounds knit beautifully in a matter of minutes. Then I heard loud clicking, and the handle got hard to crank. I adjusted tension a little, making it a bit looser, then the clicking became more frequent, then the handle became very loose. It still rotates, but it's very difficult.Now, I know how to use a circular knitting machine, but I know that sound and the handle being loose is not supposed to happen. Completely unhappy. Instead of using medium weight, I'd suggest sticking to a dk weight to fingering with this particular machine, or they should include weights to pull the project down.

I have the 48 pin sentro and love it!! I saw this little guy and thought, "wow, I can sit on the couch and spin away!"I WAS able to, for about two small projects then it started to crunch.It made these horrible crunching noises and then started to drop and tuck stitches.I feel like the idea is there, designers just have to create better mechanisms with better materials.It's sad because this would have been amazing 😢
