    I got one of those cranky machines, but I didn't think the garters looked right, when I finished them.

    Yours look much better!

    What size yarn did you use??????

    The yarn is about 17 wraps per inch which is fingering.

    If you look at the first picture you can see a blue bag with an "S" hook and a red clip. If I am using worsted weight yarn that is not very slick I use the blue bag. The blues bag has BB's in it and is heavier than the weight that came with the crank. I have to do some hand pulling, until I get about an inch of cord out of the bottom. I still have to watch the process but I can use worsted weight in the crank machine.

    You might want to look at the baby yarn it is normally a little smaller.
    If you see abbreviations, initials or acronyms you do not know the Xmarks FAQ section on abbreviations may help.
