I giggled when the red piece rolled up in the end. That was funny. I just purchased an Innovation Knitting Machine and I like it. I am looking to see what other contraptions they have out there for knitting, do you know of any?

@32ShamonwhiThe roll is characteristic of the stockinette knit stitch. The sides roll towards the wrong side, while the ends roll toward public side, frustrating to all who knit using any method. This is not specific to crank knitting. There are several sizes of the crank knitters from 16 needle Mattel, 18, 20, 22, 44 and 46 needle. All in similar gauge (sts/inch). Then there are the many flat bed knitters in various gauges. Then there are the knitting looms and,, of course, knitting needles.

i use a 3 ply yarn may be to US standard 2ply but it just wont knit tightly like yours. Even if I use thicker yarn it just wont knit tightly. I hope you know what I mean

@ghanmy I use a worsted weight 4 ply or 3 ply yarn. This machine has about the the same gauge as US8 (5.0mm) hand knitting needles. If I use a 2ply yarn, I use 2 strands plied together. In US, many companies use a weight number system.. 1 being very fine and 5 being bulky weight. This machine will knit weight 3, 4 and some 5, if it is smooth, not nubby. I double or triple the strand when using the 1 and 2 weight yarns for some interesting tweed looks. I think are using a light wt yarn.

@Yanna131094 Limited space here, but sure one can make a dog sweater. 1st, measure the dog length and girth. Will the 44 sts go around the dog comfortably? If not, some pattern style options come to mind. Is the neck measure much smaller than the body? I have several ideas on creating a dog sweater, but not enough room here to go into detail. Do you want to create front leg holes or create 2 pattern pieces..1 for the body & 1 for the neck and join them at shoulder & chest, leaving leg holes?

@Barb515 Thank you very much!

@ghanmy Another think you can try is to use the tension guide, if you are not using it now...or increase the number of rungs you involve on the tension device. I think you are just using a lighter weight yarn than I am.
