I want to make all of these. Especially the tops. I've made a cardigan from another channel that the lady had copied a cardigan she bought (probably made from your pattern) but without the pockets. I added pockets to the one I made and intend to gift it to my aunt, who is dealing with some medical things and I hope it will lift her spirits.
Thanks for this lovely video. When my machine arrives and I am happy with the way it works I will definitely make the little teddy and bunny. So simple! Those slippers look interesting, I'd like to see how they are made though I think I can see. Slippers are the bane of my life as I have very large feet and high insteps so ladies slippers are out for me. To have a pretty pair would be wonderful!
I am still saving for a machine and trying to decide if it would be worth it. Your videos, especially this one, are helping me make that decision. I had never even thought about looking at crochet patterns and adapting them. 🤦🏼♀️ For the bunny, there’s another crafter out there that did one. I believe her name is Crafty Caz and she didn’t stuff the bunny with fiberfill. She ran a drawstring around the bottom with fairly heavy duty elastic cord and stuffed the body with Easter candy. She then used the drawstring to keep them inside. I just thought that was a really clever Idea and makes me really wish that my granddaughters were younger than they are.
I had trouble following your cardi pattern (the penultimate one in this video), so yes, I'd really appreciate a more detailed explanation, unless you've done that already (I didn't check). Other than that, this was really inspiring. For years, I've looked for beautiful, wearable pieces made of simple panels, so this was right up my alley. I'd probably crochet some, too. Thank you!
If you mean the summer cardigan then yes I have a video on that one (which I mentioned in the video) Easy 2 hour summer Cardigan | Sentro or Addi knitting machine ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8XspjgF6M0A.html
Just looking at the cabling in the pictures I remembered a trick my mom used to do on connecting panels (she made them by hand but she couldn't do large projects without breaking them up), but she would link panels with cables, so the seam standing out became part of the pattern. I'll have to experiment to remember exactly how she did it, or maybe I can find a video where someone else does it. Making the comment in case this helps inspire anyone that happens across this comment.
It’s a good idea. I seen Diana Sullivan do something similar on a flat bed and made me own version here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ST4CxHipErI.html but it could be nice to do this by hand too. Thanks for the suggestion.
When it comes to cables or ribbing I would be knitting it by hand!! It would be far too fiddly for me on my Addi. Cables and ribbing are much easier on a flat bed knitting machine as the latch hook needles and the tools are so convenient. Alas, I don't have my flat bed machines any more!
I am afraid I have only used a sentro but I would say it’s beginner friendly and much cheaper than the addi. The addi also has a weird number of needles so pattern repeats are difficult if you eventually plan to make more advanced things. But if you only plan to make basic things then I have heard the addi is better made so may last longer. 🤷♀️
100% acrylic Aran weight. B&M usually do 250g balls for under £5 but if you don’t have one near you wool warehouse and little wool shop are affordable online stores. The best yarn I ever got was from B&M and it was discounted to 50p a ball because the labels were missing. Wish I knew what it was 😂
I Love knitting, i need tutor to know all the rudiments. Please how can I get this type of machine in south west Nigeria nd the price so as to practice what am watching.thanks
