I find the white pin is difficult to see sometimes with lighter color yarn. My eyes are old. So I used a black marker to mark on both sides of it . I also put blue tack on the bottom of the suction cups, to hold the machine more securely, .. both tips make it easier for me. I have the 48 pin machine and now considering the 32. Your video is great. Thanks
We're supposed to be able to crank the handle with the top on. The yarn is to go in the plastic groove. I haven't tried it yet. Just received it in the mail. Looking forward to seeing your creations
I have a 48, 40 and 22 Sentro and a 46 Addi. For all of them i find it easier to use when clamped to my work surface. Got the tip from another user, and it works great. Not sure if i will get this 32, but knowing me I probably will 😂
I saw you holding down the s Sentro circular knitting machine and I thought of my experience as I first tried it Sunday. My Sentro 48 needle machine jumped all around as I turned the handle. So aggravating! I ordered two C-clamp 3” to put over two feet diagonally across from each other and turned the handle on the clamp as tight as it would go. My Sentro was place on a right angle corner of my table so one C-clamp would be on each side of the table. Equal hold. The 3” opening on the C-clamp is plenty wide. If your table/counter surface is thicker then you can get a 4” or higher. If thinner, you can get a lower inch C-clamp. I purchased mine (2) on Amazon. They are heavy.
I just ordered the 22, 40 & 48. The first two got here today and right out of the box I knit a tube. However, one of the pins on the 40 had a snag on it so it dropped a stitch. I was using the yarn that came with it so no big deal. I may go order this one too so can have the whole "family"!! I have lots of grandkids of all sizes and I'm sure the 32 will have a specifc use. I have tons of wool sock yarn and I don't need more socks but they would make beautiful hats or headbands. I hope the creatives out there will come up with some projects to make with the 32 soon! The mushroom is cute and the little tunnel for the fabric to feed out of is a bonus, I guess.
Hey @EJsDaughter! This one's been pretty cool so far. I've been experimenting with knee socks recently and the stretch on these tubes are perfect for that.
I am wrestling between purchasing the 32 needle vs the 40 needle Sentro. I currently have the 46 & 22 Addi and the 48 needle Sentro; along with nine flatbed knitting machines. Each knitting machine affords me different options, with the flatbeds being my favorite machines (as well as more costly).
Your craft room sounds like a lot of fun tbh. I've never used a flatbed knitting machine before, it is hard? I was definitely in the same position. I think for now I'm happy with my 32 but, if you're making things for bigger kids or something, I'd recommend the 40 needle.
Now they need to offer a 26 needle machine. Then for a set to include 22, 26, 32, 40, 48 needles each step would be roughly 20% bigger than the previous machine. (Actually the ratios would work out to be increments of 18%, 23%, 25%, and 20% for the 26/22, 32/26, 40/32, and 48/40 pairs respectively.) What do you think?
Just wanted to let you know you can still use the adapter and drill on the 22 machine, that removeable circle doesn't interfere with the adapter at all, there's no need to remove it. You should be able to use the adapter with the 32 needle machine with no problem.
I just ordered a the 32 needle one which I think I might like better than my 48needle one. I like knitting hat so that took away the fun a bit but I think it great if you want to knit out hat and other project for gifts is easier. I showed my má the 32needle one and she told me to order because she would like tube sock. I haven't knitted socks in a long time and I thought these would work to make her as many pairs as she wants plus when I knit socks I like learning about the heels so yup I can't wait to see this. Also I made headband and she thought the 48 needle on was just too wide so this would be great for that too.
First off, thank you! Mostly, I've used the 32 to help make my kneesocks but it's also good for child-sizes hats and scarves. You can also make pumpkins and other plushes like that.
I have Sentro 48 and I was thinking to buy the 22, but the reviews on Amazon ca is awful about the 22 needle. What is your taking about yours 22 Sentro? You guys pay way less then us the 22 needle here is almost $80 Thank you for the review.
I've heard and read a lot of different things about the 22 needle machine. I have had to replace mine once but, I think it was just from wear and tear because I'd been stocking up my website at the time. Jeez! While I do think the 22 is nice to have, I couldn't justify that price tag on it 😅 The price on these usually drops around black Friday though, so maybe wait til then to see if the price is more reasonable.
I'm sorry to hear that. I know that there are many replacement row counters out there but first, maybe try this method for fixing your row counter: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sn9dOMs095A.html I've done this before and it seemed to work out for me. I think the static from the yarn throws off the mechanism sometimes so it just needs a simple reset. I hope this helps, please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
