Feeling Christmas-y so I wanted to dress up Bentley. However, a shepherd-mix has too much fur for a sweater so I decided on this!
Looking for more Holiday Addi Express projects? How about a Snowman Scarf Tutorial, Santa Scarf Tutorial or Nutcracker Scarf Tutorial?

Hi Margaret,
Thanks for your many videos. I just purchased the Addi big and small well actually my husband was supposed to get it for me this year for Christmas however I failed to tell him you have to order online cannot find in the stores in the US so I ordered myself last night needless to say I will get it after Christmas but this is ok
Since you seem to love yours we (my mom and I) want to try things out then I will order a set for her is she likes it which I think we will. Anyways…While I was ordering this from a person on Etsy she sorry don’t remember her name at the moment she had a suggestion for the counter which I cannot wait to try as well to fix your counting issues…She says wrap saren wrap around the counter to avoid the static buildup and this fixed the issue with double counting or not counting a row.
So I thought I would pass this along so you can pass it to your viewers. Thanks for all you do and can’t wait to get my addi machines. Also in the meantime we purchased the knit express (or similar name) sorry cant remember but find it at Michael’s
white machine and in purple box. and so far works well (purchased this due to your review-so thanks for that).
Well Happy Holiday’s to you and your family from Seattle WA So let me know if the counter works better (as far as modifying the addi- have seen videos using handheld drill just another suggestion)
Warm Wishes and Happy Knitting

Thank you, Ellie! I’m quite curious about the Saran Wrap trick (especially since plastic wrap is a huge conductor of static electricity) but there could be some countering effects in some science-y way I don’t know about! I’ll give it a try!
While watching one of your vlogs, there was a brief picture of a large charcoal gray tote with short handles. I’m not certain if it was crochet or knit, but it was gorgeous and wondered if you could tell me where to find the pattern. I do enjoy your vlogs, thank you for keeping it real.
Hmmm…. I don’t have any recollection of that. If I was talking about it, there should be a link in the description box of the video. Do you remember what video it was in? And thanks for the kind words!
Hi, I’ve been watching your video’s on the Addi – I’ve had mine for about a week now and am just not getting something straight. When I cast on – I always end up with dropped stitches right next to the black needles. I’ve tried it about 30 times now and have yet to get cast on without dropped stitches all in a row somewhere and usually the first 3 before or after the black needles with some in between. I know it has to be me – operator error. Have you ran into anyone else who has had problems getting started? Any Help Appreciated. Monica
My gut is telling me you need to hold the cast-on tail of the yarn when you make it around to knit the first row. Click here: https://youtu.be/pcZnVE-f-lE?t=1m16s for demo. (This link takes you right to the part I’m talking about in the “how to cast on/off/change colors” video.)
I found that if you place a weight on the cast on yarn that goes in the middle of the Addi prevents dropped stiches while casting on.
