My husband surprised me with an Addi 22. So, I made my first pair of socks. Not too bad for my first try at it. This yarn is a little difficult to work with because it tangles easily. Other than that, it worked fine in the Addi. I used yarn from my stash.

Well….after several rough starts, my sweater project is underway. The waste yarn loaded correctly, but the transition row to the project yarn kept dropping stitches. A lot of stitches had to be manually fixed, just for the first transition row. Has anyone else had this issue?
