I have this Knit Picks problem

My Mini is coming along fine- yarn is easy to knit with and this light grey will be good to me.
My week-end came and went- no idea where!! It went so fast I hardly had time to knit .
A few rows came along- but really !- most of my time was spendt on the kids and tidying & cleaning bedrooms. I use my new knit -picks needles and there is plenty of room for my stiches and the needle is good to knit with. BUT!!!! A BIG BUT!!!!
Why is the needle screw it self up- or what do I call it? I tightened it good- but while knitting it un-screw it self from the thin part.
Is that normal? Any other with the same problem?
I am curious- Am I doing something wrong here? Forgot something? Don´t think so though.
Help!!!
See!!! this is happening every other row- I have to tighten it again and again-
I am afraid suddenly I will loose stiches because of it.

Hej Beate, det har jeg proevet :-( Men det holdt op efter at jeg begyndte at bruge den lille metaldims til at skrue pinden fast.
Held og lykke !

I had that same problem. I called them and they send me another one right away. I think you just got a bad one.

Hej Beate,

Ja, husker du at bruge "nøglen"? den der metaldims, der følger med pindene, som er bukket rundt i den ene ende? Den skal stikkes ind i hullet på snorens metalled og lige "strammes" en lille smule til, ikke nødvendigvis så meget, a tman kan mærke, AT man strammer - det er nok hos mig, selvom jeg strikker stramt.

Ja, jeg har nu brugt det lille ekstra udstyr der fulgte med i pakken-- lidt begynder uheld. typisk mig at bare ræse der ud af uden at lige sætte mig ind i alle små detaljer..'
Men jeg fik jo hjælp da..tak..
