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..)❤
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!
The ribbing method here seems easier than my question/comment on your knooking afterthought video 😂 I’ll be using this for sleeves and edges going forward!
If you wanted a tighter cuff (like on gloves) you could continue casting on like you did with the waste yarn. Every other stitch on the ribbing would be tighter than if you knitted and dropped the stitches first.
Im so new to this, do you mean just skip every other peg while knitting then purl the “ladder” putting the last purl loop on the empty peg instead of knitting every peg than removing every other stitch and creating that ladder?… i just had an light shining down on me eye opening understanding ! Wowsers… so much easier and time saving and simple. Cant believe i didn’t think if that… im off to try it and to make sure i did understand correctly ! THANK YOU Also Emily Smith this is my first comment ever on you tube… loved this video. So helpful to this newbie. I had tried the ewrap cast on because im a loom knitter and didn’t push the loops down so i though it was impossible on a machine so thanks !
@@kimberleysneddon7070 good luck. Love to know how the skipping needles works for you. When I tried it I didn’t have enough slack to get the loop over the needle at the top, I keep meaning to try again and not pull so tight 😂
@Emily Smith Okayyyy so… your right it was too tight to get over the needles so i did the purls and put the last loop over the area ( sry really new and dont know what they are called) where the needle comes out. If you put it over those the needle comes up and you dont have to try to get it over the needle after its already up because it acts like every other stitch . Does that make sense?
Sorry, I just read the rest of the comments and got lost in what they were suggesting. If you find an easier method, could you make a video of it? I’ve ordered a Sentro 48 machine, but am trying to learn as much as I can before it arrives. Your videos are so informative. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your voice is sooo calming thus the tutorial was very helpful and most importantly it doesnt look daunting and intimidating. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Emily for sharing these instructions! I think the 1st (about open stitches on a waste yarn) is the key and most effective. All other manipulations with stitches can be done much faster by hands using open stitches from the first method)) I didn't use it, just knit few rows by waste yarn. But now will start to use your method)) it is super good 👍
Thank you so much for covering all these different types. Watching another person doing the E wrap- she wrapped the yarn around her finger and then slipped it off onto the needle. Because I have big hands and the needles are smaller than my fingers I’m going to try that as well as try the method you used.
Learned from my social mistake: Me: There must be other ways to cast on, I wonder how those would work Thought about it for several minutes before 💡 Better Me: I'm sure Emily knows or already figured it out. It's best to learn from someone that's already got it figured out! And now I'm here
You mentioned in this video that cotton couldn't be used in the machine. Can you explain that? I was rather hoping, when I get a machine, to use cotton yarn to make light-weight tunics for summer wear.
Cotton yarn just doesn’t have enough stretch to use on this machine. I tried it with the one cotton yarn I have and it didn’t work but have a go with the cotton yarn you have. Or you could always try a mixed ball of cotton and wool. I haven’t experimented with too many different yarns yet as I just don’t have the budget for much other than acrylic right now but I am excited to start experimenting. I will have some summer projects coming out in June time 😉
@@emilysmith2784 - thank you for the reply! I've got a collection of yarns coming, just in small quantities, so I guess I'll be doing some experimentation.
found your video today..it is very helping for a beginner like me. i have a question tho. does my waste yarn have to be the same size as my working yarn? or i can use different size yarn?
You could try turning on closed captioning, but be aware that the people who do the closed captioning also do the auto correct when you’re typing. So you end up with some really strange things sometimes but usually I can work it out if I just keep saying it over and over again lol😂
When you use the standard method, could you use a crochet hook to weave each bottom loop into the next bottom loop until you get to your tail and knot it off there?
Be sure to go in front of one needle and then behind the next, try using a different coloured yarn for this step so you can follow its movements. The next row and all following rows you go in front of all needles. It takes at least 2 rows with your main colour to secure everything in place. If you are still having troubles let me know exactly what you are doing and what result you are getting. I am sure together we can figure this out 😊
I am doing it correctly but the work you are showing makes it appears you only casted on one row and all was secure! Thanx, I know now that I am not crazy!!! 😊lol
@@emilysmith2784 I keep dropping stitches at the "end" - I'm still kind of new and for some reason picked up panels after than tubes so I am watching some more videos - and this one one repeat! I was so excited about a cast on method where I am able to tighten up the end row
The machine can only do the knit stitch. If you want to purl, do cables or colourwork you will have to hand manipulate the stitches, but it can be done.
