Hello Everyone! I'm looking forward to finally learn how to opearate my Innovations Circular Knitting Machine. I will have to start on tomorrow at an earlier time. Looking forward to connecting with the ones who are interested in connecting with me. Seems like it's a lot of fun. Glad to be here! 👋🏾

I'm planning to knit a blanket on my 46 needle Addi machine since I don’t have a 22 needle. I’ve noticed that most people use the 22 needle to make tube blankets and then sew the tubes together. Since I only have the 46 needle, I’m considering knitting a panel blanket instead. I’d really love to make one of Kim’s blanket patterns for my mother in law for Mother’s Day, but I’m also thinking about using only 22 needles on my 46 needle Addi to follow the pattern more closely. Has anyone tried this before, either knitting a panel blanket on a 46 needle or limiting it to 22 needles to match the pattern? I usually see these blankets made with the 22-needle machine, so I’d love to hear any advice or experiences.

Here are 5 of the 6 chicks that I made for the grandkids. I used Ruby’s pattern.

Another sleepy bear. Pattern is from Koala Knits and Knacks. But I do add my own variations. 🧶🧸
