Your tutorials are so easy to follow and have great insights. Could you do another video for us beginners on casting off and methods of finishing edges etc. Thank you!
@@jadeintheparke1 so that is making a stitch using the bar between stitches. Sort of like how I showed in the “another increase” chapter but you need to twist the loop first before knitting into it. That way you don’t get the little hole. Honestly though the only increase I ever do is the hidden increase, regardless of what the pattern says. See if the pattern wants the increase to be decorative or hidden and make your choice from there.
Beginner knitter here! My daughter bought me a Sentro machine for my birthday. I absolutely loved watching this beautifully produced video. Such a clever pattern and stunning finished garment 😊
thank you so much i finally found patterns for casting on and you have such a beautiful accent i understood what you said and im so happy..!❤ (im from Saudi Arabia btw..)❤
Didn't realise you could do this on the machine thank you so much have been wanting to make a bubble beanie for ages but I'm not a patient person and it takes me forever by hand. Thank you.
@@Sacha_Bso for the thumb I cast on 4 stitches then increased until I had 10 stitches on the machine. Then knit 10 rows. Synch the cast off edge closed and seam down the side, or you can follow my tutorial and do a decrease row first. If you are struggling with this method you can always try the thumb method from my gloves instead. I did that a little differently.
It would look very loose. This machine is made for Aran / worsted weight yarn. Even DK isn’t very dense. You will need to get a flat weight machine if you want to work with lace weight yarn.
This is awesome, but I don't understand how many rows you make total. You flip your project in half to go from back to forth, but it doesn;t say how many rows it should be. Or am I missing something? Thank you so much
I didn’t bother counting rows. I just split the yarn I had into 2 balls and just kept knitting until I ran out of yarn. I had 100g of DK and I am 5 ft 2 inches tall if that’s helpful.
Hello, I have a 30 year old Singer knitting machine, I love it but lately I have seen a lot of things with Dentro and Addi, my question is which one should I buy, which one gives me the most options, which one has the most replacement?I live in Portugal and only buy online. If you can help I would appreciate it, thank you
Personally I think the sentro is the better machine. It has 48 needles so when doing pattern repeats and cables you can divide by 3, 4, 6, 8 etc. The addi has 46 needles which is a prime number so nothing goes into it evenly so any stitch repeats will be uneven. The addi is the bigger brand so I assume it’s better made (I’ve never seen one in person) and probably has better customer service and parts etc. but I have had my sentro for many years now and it’s working fine. There are a few reviews on RU-vid if you look for comparisons. Honestly because of the price the addi was never a choice for me. I was torn between the sentro and the prymm but I went with the sentro as it has a row counter which ironically doesn’t work 😂. So I’d say check out the prymm too, I know there are a few knock off sentro machines going around too so make sure you get an authentic one. Checking for the logo in customer pics is usually a good give away.
No. Pattern writing is not really something I am interested in. I prefer making custom clothes based on measurements rather than attempting to mimic standard clothing sizes, which never fit me right. Sorry 🤷♀️
🙀Emily, this is fantastically gorgeous. And yes, please let us know how to do that beautiful hems. I am larger so have to figure that out. The ‘calculator’ is confusing but will try to figure out which amount goes where. You have so much knowledge and talent in figuring things out. *perhaps a salad spinner while doing the additional rows for sleeves?. Your completed top is amazingly beautiful!!!❤❤❤ I will be watching this several times before I start. Thank you ❤thank you ❤ for sharing your knowledge with (me) us!!
Beautiful... awesome pattern.... I will be watching this video several times! I built a frame for my sentro machines, so the fabric does not become piled up under the machine. I clamp the frame to a table edge.... no obstruction underneath. I can even use weights as desired.
Frame is a great idea. We are hoping to move in the next few years and I have my fingers crossed that I’ll have a craft room in the next house. I would love to be able to secure my machine to my desk but at the moment my desk serves as my sewing, knitting and working from home space. Maybe I’ll think about a frame instead so things can hang below. Thanks for the idea and for all the views ❤️
