Great value.

I bought this super cheap knitting machine to teach myself how to use it, and it hasn't disappointed me. It is easy to use and works great.

It's perfect. Honestly

Making blanks? That's the specific reason I bought it! I pulled it right out of the box, quickly read the instructions, and cranked out a tight long tube. It does the job. I plan to make miles of blank socks to dye. It's perfect. Honestly, I think most kids would get much more enjoyment from actually learning to knit with their own two hands. But, what do I know?

It works nicely!

It's a nice little machine. It works more easily IF you tape it down. I taped it (with 2" wide clear tape) to a typing table for my friend and it works great. She is making Santa Clause and Snowman scarves to sell. Margaret Olander has reviews of this NEW Singer machine on YouTube. Later post....It LIKES LIGHTER weight "#4 yarn" better than heavier #4 yarn. Keep the tension even, not too tight and not too loose, and you will do well. I am including a picture of the headband I MADE and the kids' scarf with mitten decorations.

Works like a charm!

I needed to make about 20 scarves to give away as party favors, and with time a limiting factor I decided to order this knitting machine. I didn't want to spring for the more expensive professional models, so I ordered this one. I can't be more pleased with it. Even though it's a "child's toy", it works amazingly well. I have VERY FEW dropped stitches, and it's usually my fault for letting the tension get to tight, or using a yarn that is too bulky. A few tips: Use the correct yarn. A medium worsted weight is usually too bulky, unless you get a smooth yarn. I'm using Caron Simply Soft Medium #4, and it goes through this thing like butter. I can turn out a 4ft scarf in about an hour or less. Let your yarn hang loose. Don't count on the machine to pull the yarn from the skein because the tension will be too tight. Don't let your finished work wad up under the machine. Keep straightening it out every few rounds. Also, none of the needles are marked like in the professional models. To solve this figure out which needle to mark by setting the machine to "flat" and turning it until it stops, note the needle it stopped on, and turn it back the other way. It should stop at the same needle. If it does, this is the one you need to mark. I used nail polish to mark the needle and the fins on either side. This way, you can change colors at the same place in your work each round, or count your rounds. Be aware that this is the model that has undergone improvements. The previous version of this machine did not have legs, sat on it's side, and had 2 fewer needles. That model is still being sold, so be careful to get this model instead. Well worth the $25.

Bought to make blanks for dying yarn

Good for knitting sock blanks for dying yarn but I would never wear something made with this loose knitting machine.

We recommend it to

We bought 2 of them. The price is inexpensive and the quality is high. We use them in our factory, Although the product is made from plastic and looks inexpensive (made for Children) the application / durability is high. We recommend it to everyone

A very functional toy!

Bought for my daughter who is 6, and though it is hard to manage without an adult to hold it steady for her, she gets a lot of enjoyment out of this toy. It IS a toy, but if worked with carefully it does the exact job of a more expensive professional knitting machine. Great starter knitter for anyone who wants to 'try out' machine knitting before going the expense of a full fledged knitting machine. Great toy for school aged children. Great for knitting sock blanks for dye artists.

It is a good little machine for craft work My 8 year old granddaughter Has it now and is really happy about it I got it for her from Amazon.It was missing the yarn so I bought some for her. thank you for such prompt service.Sincerely, Bev McWilliams

Surprise!

I'm amazed. It does work. You need to look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egEvPFtA4Fs which describes how to use it and compares it to an Addi. It seems to be best with regular WW and go slow, turn the handle away from you. She notes in the video that it has been redesigned so some of the older reviews here are about that older machine. Make sure you're getting the one that has 4 feet, not the one that stands upright. The upright one is the old model that had a lot of problems, the four footed one is the Addi knockoff! Yes, all you will knit with it is tubes. Or things you have to seam. But if you do knit a lot of hats? This should be great for you. Also if you have RSI from regular knitting, this is a great help. Or if you like making stuffed animals. Use the first few rounds as a provisional CO and unravel them at the end. Amazing! I can't believe it does work!

Great Product

Stitches look just like they would if you were hand knitting
