When the knitting Ding arrived, I let loose the same and was thrilled. After 4 nights I had a pair of socks size 37 completed. I think the time pretty neat. Others like it too can knit so quickly, but I take a long time have done a couple disappears with me most after the 1st finished socks motivation for 2. So that.
However, I do not think you should compare the Strickdingsen with the knitting itself. For me it's a unique way to manufacture things. "Strickdingsen" precisely.
The materials and workmanship are okay, but it may be that if you wound too tight, you do not get pulled over the top, the lower loop, and then the metal hook a little bend. But that did not affect the function with me.
The instructions are insofar of course, at least for someone who is a little familiar in the field of knitting or crocheting. For a complete beginner, or someone who thus finds it difficult, some descriptions and images are described vll not quite as optimal. However, one finds on the Internet good video tutorials to help you really understand how it works.
At the knitting thing I've still ordered a "knitting hook". Although a kind of knitting needle when knitting thing is, but the hook facilitates Drüber lifting the mesh significantly.
All in all, I am therefore very satisfied and it can lay each warmly who would like to try something new. It's nice to see how quickly you come forward. For me, a good alternative to normal knitting, even if it is true that one is not quite sooo flexible as regards the knitting yarn and the stitch number. But I think, better one is has somewhat limited for joy when all ways to keep open and ultimately not to knit because it's no fun (for whatever reason).
