I'm not a beginner, but I am grateful for another machine knitter ❤

I have 2 flatbeds, I'm an avid handknitter, and I love my Addi machines. I mostly use them for donation hats and toys. Lots of instant gratification. I've made over 100 hats on it.

Ty was a nice introduction video. I am debating getting a mid gauge LK150. I have a KH260 and love that but the ease and portability of the LK might be nice when you want to take it places. Does the LK cover the same yarn sizes as the KH260 generally?

could I commission you to make me a sweater?
