I just got my Erlbacher CSM yesterday. Took me all afternoon and I had to start over many times but I finally successfully completed the cast on bonnet. My first project! 🎉 I had your video on play / pause / rewind / play all day, thank you for the great tutorial! I’m going to make a few more before moving on to socks.

Thanks for doing this video! Helpful Russian knot, the closing and the placing the new bonnet! I am very new with this wonderful machine. Blessings.❤

Wow great video! Just received my machine and I’m a bit overwhelmed. You’re a rock star!

Oh, wow, last year I was looking for a video like this but I did not find. I did the first bonnet some minutes ago and now I try to cast on the first projekt. Thank you so much.

Hello from Mounds Illinois. Thank you I really needed to learn how to make a cast on bonnet. I also have a speedster but have not made anything on it as of yet.

Nice video Aquilla. I have mastered making cast on bonnets, tubes, heels and toes, several pairs of socks now. Now I need to get to
know my ribber. I have installed it a couple times but I drop stitches when I am transfering. I suppose its just a matter of time and practice.

Very interesting. It's a great video. I'm not a CSM owner, but this was very informative. 👍

hi, thank you for your video. I have purchased a vintage CSM and want to make a set up bonnet. i generally get the method but i see that you start with your current set up bonnet. As i dont have one, how do i get started? Sorry if that dosen't make sense! I hand knit socks but the CSM is a new venture.

So how do you actually make the bonnet that was on the csm when you started??

[Stitching_Plaza]

i was going to ask if you could do this - thank you !!

I enjoyed this but I'm a little lost. Is Mr. Johnny dyeing up yarns? How is his Granny Square britches coming along? I.hope you tape him wearing these. What are you making ? You keep saying a bonnet but I don't believe it's a baby bonnet.

Okay but how do you make your FIRST bonnet? When you don't already have a bonnet to start with? All these are videos are like to make a bonnet, you start with a bonnet. lol

Another way to get that second camera angle is to do the whole process a second time from a different angle. Then edit them together. Very time consuming but worth it until you can afford a second camera.
