Addi Express Knitting Machine

I purchased this 22 needle Addi circular knitting machine from Amazon EU which was the cheapest but took a little longer to arrive as it came directly from Germany (where Addi knitting machines are made). I didn’t pay anything extra like duty taxes, just what I’d paid when purchased. It arrived in perfect condition and it works perfectly too. Mine has a manual counter which I am happy with, though it does clunk as it goes round (the counter has a bit that sticks out inside that makes the counter count as the wheel turns round each time. I’ve made socks on mine using DK yarn easily, but it can makes lots of other things tube shaped and you can knit flat panels too. It comes with instructions and spare needles and a red tapestry needle for taking the knitted piece off the machine when binding off. Watch some YouTube videos to see how it’s used, it’s really quick and easy though I’d recommend taking your time so you don’t get dropped stitches (watching and not holding your yarn too tight helps a lot I’ve found). You can’t make hats on it, you don’t have enough needles, you need the bigger 46 needle Addi Kingsize for that, I’ve recently purchased one from Amazon too, I’m very happy with both machines as they’re relaxing to use and save my wrists from arthritis aches and pains I get from hand knitting.

This is a premium quality knitting machine, it may cost a lot more money than the cheaper options out there but it is definitely worth it if you can afford the extra expense, it knitts well and smoothly, there our plenty of videos on YouTube to help you get started and finally i would definitely recommend it as a good buy.

I also a 48 sentro but this is built really much better, works really well if you know how to use it.Trick is to cast on loose really loose first down and go really slow for the first 5 rounds

I wish I had brought one sooner

Not good value for money. Expensive. Kept dropping g stitches when knitting straight. Could not get hold of anyone to help when knitting in the straight, as stitches kept dropping of at end. However knits great in the round.

I've waited a year to buy this and so glad I did. it's amazing. I have all the Sentro machines, including the 22, which I have to say, is absolute rubbish. If you can afford the Addi, 22, buy it, you won't regret it. The first thing I tried was a pair of socks, so OK, not perfect but it was my first try, and it was more due to user error than the machine. However, I have to warn you, for the first few rows, go slow, this is a brand new machine, it will have it's little quirks and will let you know, if you hear a grinding sound, stop what you're doing and investigate, if you carry on, you could break the machine. Happy knitting!!

This is not as good as the 46 needle machine, this is the second one I've had, I sent the other one back because it kept dropping stitches for no reason, this one isn't much better, I went for Addi because it's supposed to be the bees knees. ........It's not expensive usless lump of junk

Definitely buy again . Cam well on tome
