Knitting Machine Adapter, Quick Knit Replaceable Crochet Machine Adapter with Hex Bit Power Screwdriver, Compatible with 22/40/48 Knitting Machines Universal accessories, DIY Hats, Socks, Scarves

Yeah, I was skeptical too, but after I got it, all my doubt left me.I will say, like all knitting machines, not every yarn will work with every machine, so if you're partial to a particular yarn, I'd ask someone to test it for you before committing to this machine.The stitches are smooth and even. The ONE TIME I had a boo-boo on a stitch was my fault for messing with it.I used 'I Love This Yarn', which is my go to basic yarn, and the results were perfect.I then tried it with old fashioned Red Heart and the results were terrible. This machine prefers a smoother yarn. The Red Heart was just too coarse to slide through the tensioner. If you are used to the Addi, you can still hand tension the yarn, but as I am new to this machine, I used the provided tension wand, and got great results.The suction cups are not great, but I just clamped the legs to the table and it never moved.The written instructions are lackluster, but I just followed one of a thousand YouTube videos on how to use this machine (it operates just like the Addi) that the written instructions didn't matter.If you're on the fence about a knitting machine, this one is at a good price (compared to the Addi), and you get the same quality.

Here is the lowdown on this machine, she can be finicky but if you "listen to her" and find yarn that she likes she will treat you well. These machines aren't made terribly tough so you have to be gentle with her and whisper sweet nothings to it while you gently turn the knob. If you feel or hear anything off STOP, don't keep cranking for the love of God. That will piss her off and then you will be in a bad mood and if will be a lose/lose for all. Be nice to her, and she'll help you create some beautiful creations! The trick is finding the right tension and right yarn. Good luck!

This manual knitting machine is not for making various scarves, hats, leg warmers, gloves and so many other things. This machine doesn't always complete the row correctly, so pay attention as your cranking it.

I bought this device because I wanted to increase my production, and the Addi - which by all accounts is a far superior machine - was out of stock everywhere, and on back order at the one place I was able to find.Once I figured out how to use the machine, it worked well, at first. The suction cups adhered easily to the stone countertop where I was using it, but the frame would contort and rock like a ship in a storm when I was turning the handle. And I was turning manually, not with an electric screwdriver or drill.In spite of the noise and the lack of a steady platform, it did produce decent hats once I got the hang of it. I was using Red Heart Super Saver medium (4).Then I changed yarn to the Caron One Pound medium (4), and it started dropping stitches like crazy. I tried changing the tension, slowing down, speeding up, manually managing the tension, adjusting the angle of the yarn in the tensioner, you name it. The only way I could make a full row without dropping stitches was to manually push the yarn to the bottom of its peg as it came around to the yarn guide and started coming up for the next stitch. And if I have to that, why am I using a knitting machine?So I went back to the Red Heart Super Saver medium (4) and tried again. This time, in spite of doing it the exact same way that worked before, I got the same results as with with Caron - dropped stitches all over the place, with no rhyme or reason as to where they would appear. Continuing to knit only moved the dropped stitches to a different area on the row.I can only conclude that I’ve reached the end of this product’s useful life...and I received it January 7th. Of course the return period expired on February 6th, 12 days before it stopped working effectively. A useful life of 6 weeks before wear and tear makes the product unusable is not a good value for a product that costs $90.99. I don’t know if the actual brand name device (Sentro) is of better quality than the Miaoke, but I can say that this specific device is not worth the money, unless you’re keen to spend $90 every 6 weeks to be able to knit on a machine. Now I’m just waiting on my Addi, hoping it’s more in line with what I expect.

So, first let me start by saying I don’t know if this is an authentic Sentei machine, but it’s pretty good so far! The only negative so far is, it doesn’t have the row counter. I’ve only had it a few days and I’ll admit the first 3-4 times I tried to get started with it, it was dropping stitches and I was starting to get frustrated. I refused to give up, and that made all the difference. I thought going with a loose stitch was the way to go, but what I learned it I needed medium tension to get a good product! Just trial and error. I watched YouTube videos to figure out the casting on and casting off. It’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it. It took me less than an hour to make the neck warmer in my pics. And that was just hand cranking at a steady pace. I could probably bust out caps in about an hour too. Looking forward to continuing on with this product. Just take your time and do a few trial and errors tests and it will work out. I used yarn that was thicker than what it came with and it turned out just fine. Pay attention to the tension you have on it and it should be fine. Good luck!

Works great with thinner yarn but #4 weight yarn makes it not want to crank.

I have attempted several hats. A couple came out perfect, a lot have dropped stitches and I am working out those kinks. I’m not sure what’s causing the drops but I would still recommend this machine. YouTube is a teacher! If the stitches weren’t randomly dropping, I would give a 5 ⭐️Updated to add that quality yarn made all the difference! There are several brand/types of yarn that are like butter in this machine and stitches are no longer dropping!

Mashine K. It is very useful and good!!
