I just got a Addi express king and started a project and it was going fine and then I noticed that it started to come undone where i started it is the best i can explain it, is it the yarn or am i doing something wrong ?
Welcome!
We’re mainly hand knitters but there are a few machine knitters here. Maybe

can advise you.
It looks like a dropped stitch that then caused problems with the tension of adjacent sts but that’s just a guess.
I no longer have a round knitting machine but instead use the flatbed type. It is dropping stitches. You need to make sure your yarn is feeding freely. In my experience you need to pull from the center of the ball or skein and have to pull out the yarn frequently for it to flow easily. RedHeart Super Saver Yarn can be problematic so don’t use it as a beginner. Try using Simply Soft yarn to get you started learning to use it correctly. It is easier for a beginner. Weight spaced evenly around can also help the knitting come off the machine without dropping stitches if you are still having problems but they would need to be moved up frequently. I have claw weights for my machine but I believe you can DIY them if needed. Feel free to reach out to me if you need more help.

Sorry; I’ve never used one of those. That’s very frustrating though!
