These slippers are made in honour of my grandma Keillor who made more slippers than I will ever be able to make in my life time. And she did it with straight knitting needles! We loved watching her whip up a pair and she generously gave them to anyone who needed or wanted a pair.
Made on my Sentro 48 needle machine.
Can be made the same way on an Addi 46 needle machine.
I used Craft Smart yarn. 4 weight
Happy knitting everyone!
❤️🧶❤️

Socks are some of the least available donation items for the homeless community. And much much needed. The idea of someone making these slippers and donating them is so heart warming. ❤️

My friend bought a Sentro as well and her counter broke the first time using it. Where my Addi just keeps on counting. I learned to crochet when I was very small. My babysitter believed you did not put a child in front of a TV but taught them something useful. So she taught me to crochet and I remember her making slippers when I was small.

I was very close to my dad's mom because my read dad was crushed to death when I was 2 years and 10 months old. Grandma was so close to my heart and I truly learned a lot from her. We made home made bread and she taught me how to sew and do a lot. Plus she was an excellent cook. She was very dear to my heart, and it really hurt when she died 16 years ago. But she was saved and loved the LORD and even helped me to want CHRIST in my life to live for amen. But both my grandma's did not knit or crochet but I did. I truly like watching this, thank you for taking your te to show you skills in working with this knitting machine and pattern.

@Rennagayle 10 месяцев назад

I love the simplicity of this pattern! As my foot is 9”, I did 45 rows, but my slipper was way too short. 😕 I used 100% wool yarn. Maybe it’s not as elastic as acrylic? I tried again with acrylic yarn and did 50 rows, and the length came out perfect for me. I think I’d like it to come up a bit higher on the back of the heel, so I’ll try not doing the little tuck at the back of the heel next time and see if it helps. My mattress stitch looked awful on my first slipper, but looked perfect on my next one. I’m now no longer afraid of that technique, so yay! Thanks for a great tutorial!

Love this, thank you! Can you please show every step for those of us who are visual learners (and those of us who aren't well versed in sewing)? I'm not sure, for example, how to reinforce the toe. But again, thank you. This video made so much sense and you explained things well.

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Год назад

I try to be very detailed. So sorry if I missed a step. 😊 To reinforce the toe just means that when you are tightening the circle to close it, just go around the circle another time for strength.

The counters are temperamental. You can unscrew the box and line up the gear again - it should be fine. Or count as you stitch and place a small scrap of yarn every 10 or 20 rows to keep track. I love my Sentro.

Sorry you lost her at such a young age. Very neat that even at that age you have a slipper memory. 🥰

@enricolambrusco2449 Год назад

Excellent. I had these slippers growing up. Mom made them. As an adult, I asked her to make me a pair but she couldn’t remember the pattern.her name was Mary too

I made them myself years ago now I use the knitting machine

@teacheraprilrogers Год назад

My sentro counter only works on occasion. I just use a free knitting row counter on my phone. I know I have to stop a click a button but it works for me. I typically knit 5 or 10 rows and then stop and add them to my row counter

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Год назад

Yes, we do whatever works. It takes a bit of time to stop but it’s worth not losing count. My kids asked me for some christmas ideas. I suggested two counters. One for each Sentro! 🥰

@VampBookLVR Год назад

It was my Aunt. She made me and my brother a pair every Christmas. We loved them! She’s been gone many years now. I am going to make them and remember her every time I wear them.

That’s wonderful! I think that knitted slippers were a thing in the last generation and not so much now. We gotta bring them back.

Congratulations on making 1000 subscribers. Now you have many more When you attach the pomp Pom do you use that little clear plastic gadget that you use on your hats?

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Год назад

Thank you! Just hit 14,000 yesterday! I do not use them for slippers. I tie them on tight and they will never come off! Lol

I only have an Addi 22 and a Sentro 40. I also have a very thin foot so I'm wondering if I can get by with making these with my Sentro. Hmmmmmm..... I will let you know.😁

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet 9 месяцев назад

Mattress stitch two (22 needle) panels together and continue the process. That will give you a 44 needle width.

I think eBay is the best for spare parts for the Sentro machine

@enricolambrusco2449 Год назад

i have spent so much money trying many different types of yarn but no success with any of them. the only yarn that worked well is the yarn that came with the machine. i’ve watched many videos on the sentro and have tried everything. my machine drops at least ten stitches every row. pulling what hair i have, out.

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Год назад

It can be tough to figure out tension and speed. Sometimes you gotta watch as every stitch passes the yard feeder and make sure the loop goes down over the two teeth before it works the stitch. It can be frustrating.

@christicarlton7496 9 месяцев назад

It wasn't my grandmother that made them, it was my great grandmother. Every year she made slippers for everyone! I don't even know all of the kids she made slippers for, lol.

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet 9 месяцев назад

They were able to make a pair in no time. I can still see my grandma knitting at a speed I would never be able to do. So many pairs!!

@onnaaddis7983 9 месяцев назад

Yes, My Granny made slippers for all the grandchildren and I do the same. Thank you for the nice tutorial. The yarn looks like a 4? Am I right? or is it a 5? ty Onna

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet 9 месяцев назад

Your very welcome! It is a 4 weight.

@sabrinaaguilera7657 Год назад

Hi I love these slippers you’ve made to replicate your grandmas original hand knitted ones. I’m getting inspired to open that sentro box of mine. Still need to look at some more videos to feel totally comfortable with it though. I hope mine doesn’t break that easy. How do you feel about the sentro versus the addi? I’m sure the addi is quite stronger built considering the costs. I figured since I’m new to these machines though that I would try the cheaper version first. Ty for your tips and version of making the slippers. Happy new year🎉

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Год назад

Welcome to the circular knitting world. I hope you love it. I have both Addi and Sentro machines and I will say that the Addi is more sturdy and a better structure over all but I love my Sentro’s as well. They have a smoother and quieter mechanic. The counters are terrible and almost always miscount. But I just count and mark every 10 rows or use a finger counter. Don’t give up if you are dropping or tucking stitches right away. It takes time to get the feel and technique. You made a good purchase. Here’s a link to my new FB group. I’d love to have you join if you haven’t done so already. 🥰 facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594

@lisajbevan6162 Год назад

Love this! I too want to add a cuff, how would you create a crochet type rib? Front post and back loop alternating?

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Год назад

Yes, that’s what I would likely do or you could also HDC your rows. One row of DC then another row in between stitches is also nice. All SC ……. Anything really.

@patriciapoot1180 Год назад

Thank you for posting! these will make great bed slippers for in our cold winter months and great stocking stuffers. which yarn did you use?

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Год назад

Great stocking stuffer idea for sure! I used a ball that was left over and had no wrapper….Lol…. But I’m pretty sure it is Craftsmart Yarn in plum. It’s a 4 weight yarn so choose whatever you like.

@heatherspiritrider 11 месяцев назад

I am returning my sentro machine because the gear inside the machine just wasn’t working so it wasn’t turn. So making my best friend a US Army beanie wasn’t really working. I have another one coming in tomorrow.

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet 11 месяцев назад

Good luck with the new one. Hope it works better for you.

@misstina7660 Год назад

Do you find these slippers to be very slippery. I crocheted a pair years ago and almost broke my neck they were a scary thing coming down the stairs.

@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Год назад

I would say they are slipperier than a leather or fabric slipper for sure but I haven’t had any concern to be honest. Same as just socks would be.
