Your an absolute heaven sent! I have a learning disability/ ADHD and I'm an artist hence I'm a visual learner. You going slow and showing me step by step how to use the knitting machine was a life saver!!
I am the same I was recently diagnosed with Adult ADHD, And Dyslexia, nice to meet another visual Artists Like me, just bought one for 40$ on a line Garage sale
@@InfinitiCraftingCo I recently bought the same machine at an online Garage sale for $40 what yarn do you use most, what do you recommend for beginners? New to the machines, although I had a child's one it broke after 2 project s, the peg broke off,I was upset because my sister bought it for Christmas present
Me too! I was born in the 60s so you can imagine how difficult school was for a visual learner! I used to ask the teachers to draw me a diagram and then I got it!
Thank you so much! I’ve been frustrated with the proper tension for casting on and have suffered tooooooo many dropped stitches within the first couple of rows. Your tip of using a slip knot to start is a game changer. I had to stop cranking after 20 rows to give you positive feedback🎉. Thanks!
Just brought this machine, after a few failed attempts and seeing another’s person how to, your video was the best! Thank you! Best tutorial ever!!!! So saving it!
I got my knitting machine yesterday and started playing with it today. Even though I read the directions my dyslexia and ADD got the better of me and I had all the hooks picking up the yarn on the cast on row instead of every other one. Sheesh. Watching your vid, helped immensely! Thank you. I have a bunch of Red Heart yarn to use and hope to make hats and scarves for those who need them. ~db
I love the way you did you demonstration of how to use the machine. I've watched others but yours is by far the best. I can actually see what you are doing and you explain everything so well.. thank you!!😊
Through your tutorials I have managed to use my very first santro knitting machine just got gifted with my husband . It’s super amazing learning from your if I post my short I will give credit to your channel for instruction so clear and perfectly ❤ thank you dear
Thank you for taking your time doing this video. I finally found a video that I enjoy and has taught me others. I have checked out and they were very annoying. too much hand movement around and basically talking with her hands. you took your time step by step and I really appreciate it. I'm trying to teach my granddaughter who is 9 years old and she really loved your video. she understood your video more than others that she tried to watch. thank you so much for taking your time. I have learned a lot because this machine for the past 2 days has kicked my butt.🥴 basically halfway done ,drop stitches.🥴 yeah it was a swear fest for me😅 Thank you
Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I could help you and your granddaughter with this machine! I have a bunch of other tutorials on the Sentro on this channel so if you ever need help, they're all in one convenient playlist. Happy Making and Happy New Year! 💖
Thank you soooooooo much! I'm not usually a visual learner, the written instructions didn't make any sense to me but your video was PERFECT for me to figure out my machine!
Thank you for using a color other than white or pink! I watched other videos where they did and I couldn’t see where the yarn was positioned and ended up sitting after a few turns of the crank. My daughter gave me a Sentro and when I tried to cast, the result was my yarn coming off from the machine. Three times and I was getting frustrated. After watching your video with brightly colored yarn I finally get the yarn cast correctly and the start of a hat.
Thanks, I have just bought a Pyrm knitting machine and watched your loop start. It was a great hint. I had tried to start with just the Yarn draped, but the stitches didn't take. I was told to put five rows of wasted yarn so I could crochet the stitches off. Havnt tried that yet. I liked your hat. 🐨🦘
Your instructions are so helpful. I was struggling to get started and ready to scrap it. I did learn prior that it can be helpful to cast on using waste yarn making it helpful for getting good tension then switch to preferred yarn. After casting off you can pick up with a circular needle the stitches at the brim to complete edge. I am wanting to use this machine to make the chemo hats faster than by hand. Nice colorful ones for the kiddies.
That is such a good cause! I definitely like to knit brims onto these hats nowadays. Sometimes you still may need to add stitches though because hand tension is a lot different from that of the machine.
Over the years I have been making chemo hats with the rolled rim by hand. Very helpful to relax with. After 60 years I still look at my hands which is a benefit. Can't think and knit at the same time or be snacking all evening. Doing them with a Sentro will speed up the process for sure.
Thank you! I bought one of these off Temu and it came with a small instruction sheet with minimal English instruction. I have been looking for a video with this much clarity on how to cast off and make hats.
Thank you I'm so glad I found this video I was given one of these but with no instructions or the tensioner I'll need to figure out what to do about that
This was so very helpful to get started. I received this machine as a gift with no instructions and have flailed for a long time trying to figure it out myself. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I had one of these machines when I was a pre-teen, but I had completely forgotten how to use it. I bought the Sentro mini to use with my pre-k students to make soft toys for our classroom. I tried to follow the poorly written instructions, and we kept dropping stiches. Now I feel more confident using the machine with my little ones! Your video is very helpful!
Hi Donna, I'm glad my video was helpful! That's definitely one of the reasons I started doing tutorials for the sentro. There were virtually none when I got started 😅
Thank you so much for this tutorial! After watching a few other videos and several attempts and failing miserably and found you!! After watching you and my second a try I final got it! I love the way you you explain everyone and speak slow enough that I don’t miss anything! Thank you again❤ I’m going to subscribe right!❤
Hi Sheryl, I'm so glad my tutorial was helpful! I agree, the instructions that come with the machine are so bad lol that's what started this video series. I have a growing playlist of Sentro tutorials on my channel so, I'm glad you've joined my community 💖 Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your prompt reply i want to see more video doing knitted item so i can learn to use this Sentro knitting machine but i must say you are great i under stand you as you teach thank you so much have a great and bless day
Hi! Congrats on the new machine! I hope you'll come to love it like I do. I've got quite a few tips and tricks for it and I've made a playlist of tutorials over the last couple of years that you could check out if you need help. I also knit and crochet in general so I hope those stitch and technique tutorials will be helpful to you also. Thanks for watching! 💖 ua-cam.com/video/a1Qn4l5r6pM/v-deo.html
I’m jealous. I bought a Sentro on Amazon but I did not receive the model I asked for and to boot it was already used because who had it before me used 2 skeins and made a tube and left it in there with the wrappers. I’m returning it too much noise in cranking. I did try it out to see how it works. I can tell right off the bat it was not friendly with red heart yarn but then again this was a Santro. Who knows how or how the first person treated it. I tried it to see if I would like it and I found it was fun. When I get my refund from Amazon then I will try again. Thanks for your video.
My first video with you & I couldn’t have had better timing!! Why? Because I just unboxed my Sentro machine!! You helpmeet SO much today!! And I’m not gonna be surprised if I have to return for another visit or two! LOL Thank you. 🤗😃
I watched this last year, but over the summer I forgot how to start off. You quickly got me back on track! It's cold now, so people can appreciate a nice hat... Late Christmas gifts. I wish it made mittens, too. By the way, you can't just sew over knitted stuff with a sewing machine. Maybe with special techniques.
I'm so glad I could help out! You can actually make mittens on this machine, I just haven't covered it yet.... 🤔 I did one a long time ago on fingerless mits but that doesn't do much good in these sub 0 temps 😅 Okay, I still haven't tried that but I've heard so many different things. I'll keep looking into it. Thanks for watching! 💖
Love this! I just ordered one last night. I’m excited to get it and start using it. I haven’t gotten to crochet as much with my kids doing virtual learning so being able to make quick projects will be good.
Thank you Thank you! I had no clue that we needed to go back & forth! I tried an entire skein 3 times & messed up so much! I still can’t figure out how to “finish” the hat. I will keep watching. Yeah!
Hi thank you so much. I appreciate this. I bought the smaller 22 noodles centro and I couldn’t figure out how to thread it because the instructions are in Chinese so weird. But I appreciate this and thank you very much for making a bunch of scarves baby hats , and fingerless gloves
Thank you for the video it took me a week to get started and today I watched you and you were so helpful I got it on the third go around thank you this was very helpful to me can't wait until your next video
I'm really glad my video helped you! ☺ I have a whole sentro playlist on my channel here for troubleshooting and projects so I hope you enjoy💖 Happy Making!
Thank you for making this video. I await my machine, but in the meantime I am trying to learn about it. You give lots of comments that are helpful, and I will be reading all the comments and replies.
Hi Mike, I'm glad to help! There's a whole playlist of tutorials for the Sentro on my channel that include trouble shooting and projects also. Best of luck with your new machine!
ty for clear precise instructions on using the machine. I just got my 22 needle machine and my 44 needle comes next week. they have basically no instructions with it. and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong on beginning cast. now I am rolling along. TY
Thank you so much for this video. It was so well made and easy to follow. I really appreciate that you took the time to share your knowledge with all of us.
I'm so glad that this video helped! Yeah, the unfortunate thing about this machine is that it hates red heart super saver 😅 There's a link to one of my blog posts in the description that runs down a list of yarns that work with the sentro. I also have a playlist of tutorials for this machine on my channel: ua-cam.com/play/PLAEm6kOxgpdTstVdZQKETAT572sC3ZXou.html Thanks for watching and happy making!
I WOULD like TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE A BABY BLANKET USING THE P BUTTON ON THE MACHINE. I can't make heads or tails out ot the instructions. I REALLY ENJOY AND UNDERSTAND THE HAT BUTTON THAT YOU TAUGHT. THANK YOU ANGIE
Thanks for your video, I have res the comments. Amazing everyone has succeed. But I have still problems losing stitches and the whole line is missing through
I just got a new one myself but I think it might be a boot leg sentro bc I d have a row counter😢 but I’ll try using it. Enjoyed watching the video thanks
I love this video! Only thing when casting off i couldn't see which part of the yarn you use with the needle...i have a 40 needle, kraftic knitting machine.
Thank you so very much for the very detailed instructions!! I have 2 machines of sentro - 1 was delivered MONTHS after I ordered it - and I am just now going to start trying to make hats and tube scarves for the homeless in our city in time for tge winter. I am a knitter but that takes me FOREVER!! 1 question I have is how many rows should a regular hat be? Thank you.
Baby-1yr old: about 25-30 rows Toddler: about the same as a baby, maybe more Tweens and teens: 30-35 rows Women: 32- 40 rows Men: 38-45 rows I hoped this helped!
If you live in a colder climate, you can double the rows say for example: 40 rows to 80 rows and crochet or knit the top and double up your yarn for a warmer hat. It's like wearing a warmer hat. I did make hats where I live but it's to hot in the fall to wear them if they are doubled up.
When you take the knitting off the machine, you need to pull it lengthways because it has been stretched sideways by the machine. You will then close up the stitches like they should be....and your knitting will be considerably longer and nice and springy!
Thank you so much for your prompt reply i also have a ADDI EXPRESS the small one it was not working so i took it apart i put in all the screws but the top of the machine is still lose don't know why can you please advise me of what i am doing wrong i have subscribed to your channel another question why is it tat the crank makes a lot of noise and it kind of skip and he it starts to knit again but as i go along it does it again well thank for your video have a great and bless day
Hey thanks for watching and subscribing! I don't know anything about the addi as I've never owned one. If the Sentro ever starts grinding like that, it's likely some gears are worn out/ defective. They do sell kits for Sentro parts that you could use to repair the machine but I've never done so
I just love your channel and you are precise in teaching thank you! I just love those pastel rainbows and want to try to do hats for my Grand daughters. Thank you!!!
Thank you for making these videos I'm new at using this machine and right now I'm on my third hat. I was clueless when I got it how to cast on and off and now after watching you I finally got it. I have one request if you could move your camera to the other side of your hands because sometimes your right hand is blocking what you're doing and it's hard to know without trial and fail to figure it out. Thank you so much
Hi again I found a yarn in my stash CARON SIMPLY SOFT 60Z well i try it and now its holding up well so far i also wanted to ask if its normal for the crank wheel to get stock as you are turning it what can i do for that.
I just open my , I received as a present, but is hard for me understand the instructions sonI was looking in UA-cam and I find you, this tutorial looks easy and very well explained. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, I just got mine and had trouble starting but your tutorial help me a lot . Thanks. Do you know where I can get a book on making projects with it. I crochet a lot.
Thank you for this video. Just a comment. When you were reading the yarn to remove, your hand was in the way so I couldn't see how exactly you did this.
Hi, Yeah, at the time, I had a bad set up but shortly after, I was able to make a tutorial that specifically focuses on casting off the machine. You can view that here ua-cam.com/video/a1Qn4l5r6pM/v-deo.html
Super good tutorial! I didn’t under stand the last bit before I cranked it so I got a little frustrated and I did a loom knitting so I new how to make the thick bottom bit of a toque.
I have a different Brand: Zezirdas but the yarn guide is flawed have to hold inwards more, but figured it out yeah got it now…But crank is hard using good yarn on less tension too
Hi Anne, in my experience the handle is hard to remove but there is an attachment you can get off Etsy that goes over the handle and it appears to work fine for a lot of people 😊
Thank you for making this video. I bought the one you have and the little one as well. Thank you so much. Love what you did with the hat at the bottom with the crochet.Thank you.
I want to do this is a memory care unit for seniors.. any chance you can show me in a video what you did after you took the hat off. Step by step. Please
Hi Krysten, That is a very sweet cause. I have a whole playlist of Sentro tutorials that go over how to make different hats and the cast off process back on my channel. Good luck in your project!
I’m watching to make sure I miss no needles but I’m continually finding holes. If I go any slower, I will slip into a coma. Any suggestions? I have had to frog it 5 times & am ready to take a hammer to this machine.
\ I have the Sentro Rabbit and when I knit with it leave large spaces in betwen stitches . Do you have an idea how I can stop this?? The directions that came are very poor no help at all. I have T & P but I can only use the T the machine won't crank at all when I try the P. Thank You Angie
I can't be fore sure, it sounds like maybe the yarn you're using is thinner than the gauge of the machine? I'd possibly try a double strand or a different yarn. As for the machine settings, have you tried cranking in the opposite direction when it's in P mode?
The Sentro (48 needles) has 2 additional needles than the Addi King Size (46 needles).
The 48 needle Sentro has a counter to help you keep up with your rows of knitting.

It does? Sweet, love that, I got my machine from an online Garage Sales, for $42 bucks plus 10. 68 for shipping
I'm soo excited to use mine I hope , it's not broke, , I wonder why 1 machine has a counter and the rest don't, I think they should all have one, interesting
@@tracyshelton5599 : It would be nice if they did. I often wonder if there is some design reason why there is not a counter on the smaller Sentro. The 22 pin Addi has a counter.

You are a Saint the instructions never said to skip the rows! You saved my daughter's birthday!
Exactly! I tried 3 times! Ugh. Had to undo everything & roll the yarn in a ball to try again & again
The QR code on the instructions has a video that shows you how to skip one hook at the time on the first row

I bought this 22 pin from temu it's been a struggle with loops dropping this actually has turned out better than any,I have a sentro 48 also
Oh. I got mine from Amazon. I haven't heard many good things about temu items in general... Have you tried using thinner yarn? Like a 3 weight?
I found out the hard way, heavier yarn doesn't work too well. Lighter yarn works a lot better. And forget about thick yarn. It's a no no.
Your video is the best tutorial on this machine. I watched several others and I couldn’t get mine to work. But your video helped so so much! Thank you

Thank you so much for this video. After watching a few videos and was about to throw the machine out the window I found yours and now I get it! ❤
I'm so glad I could help! 💖
ty for clear precise instructions on using the machine. I just got my 22 needle machine and my 44 needle comes next week. they have basically no instructions with it. and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong on beginning cast. now I am rolling along. TY
Hi Joan,
That's exactly why I started making tutorials for this machine. I'm so glad that I could be helpful! Thank you for watching! 😊
Hello dear thank you for this video and thank you for your patience
Thank you so much for posting easy to follow instructions! You’re awesome!
Aw I'm glad to help! Thank you for watching! Happy Making and Happy New Year!
OMG thank you!! I was getting so frustrated with this dang machine. I finally got it to cast on correctly 🙌
I'm so glad I could help! 💖
Thank you so much for this video. It was so well made and easy to follow. I really appreciate that you took the time to share your knowledge with all of us.
Thank you very much, I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video it helped me a lot and my machine really hated the red heart stripes I was using.
I'm so glad that this video helped! Yeah, the unfortunate thing about this machine is that it hates red heart super saver 😅 There's a link to one of my blog posts in the description that runs down a list of yarns that work with the sentro. I also have a playlist of tutorials for this machine on my channel: ua-cam.com/play/PLAEm6kOxgpdTstVdZQKETAT572sC3ZXou.html
Thanks for watching and happy making!
@@InfinitiCraftingCo thank you so much for replying I will be checking out both 😀
@@wickedwhimzee no problem! ☺️
Thank you! This saved my patience, I almost gave up and sent it back because I was not figuring it out
Thank you this is the only video I found that actually helped me start...
Hi Emmy, I'm glad my video was helpful! Feel free to check out my Sentro playlist for troubleshooting and project ideas 😊
Excellent video! Super clear and easy to follow. Thanks so much
I'm glad to help! Thank you for watching! Happy Making and Happy New Year!
I WOULD like TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE A BABY BLANKET USING THE P BUTTON ON THE MACHINE. I can't make heads or tails out ot the instructions. I REALLY ENJOY AND UNDERSTAND THE HAT BUTTON THAT YOU TAUGHT. THANK YOU ANGIE
Thanks for your video, I have res the comments. Amazing everyone has succeed. But I have still problems losing stitches and the whole line is missing through
I just got a new one myself but I think it might be a boot leg sentro bc I d have a row counter😢 but I’ll try using it. Enjoyed watching the video thanks
I love this video! Only thing when casting off i couldn't see which part of the yarn you use with the needle...i have a 40 needle, kraftic knitting machine.
Hi Mary, I have a tutorial for casting off on my channel with a clearer view 💖
Thank you so very much for the very detailed instructions!! I have 2 machines of sentro - 1 was delivered MONTHS after I ordered it - and I am just now going to start trying to make hats and tube scarves for the homeless in our city in time for tge winter. I am a knitter but that takes me FOREVER!!
1 question I have is how many rows should a regular hat be?
Thank you.
Baby-1yr old: about 25-30 rows
Toddler: about the same as a baby, maybe more
Tweens and teens: 30-35 rows
Women: 32- 40 rows
Men: 38-45 rows
I hoped this helped!
If you live in a colder climate, you can double the rows say for example: 40 rows to 80 rows and crochet or knit the top and double up your yarn for a warmer hat. It's like wearing a warmer hat. I did make hats where I live but it's to hot in the fall to wear them if they are doubled up.
When you take the knitting off the machine, you need to pull it lengthways because it has been stretched sideways by the machine. You will then close up the stitches like they should be....and your knitting will be considerably longer and nice and springy!
Thank you so much. It was just the help I needed to figure the machine out.
I'm glad I could help!
Thank you so much for your prompt reply i also have a ADDI EXPRESS the small one it was not working so i took it apart i put in all the screws but the top of the machine is still lose don't know why can you please advise me of what i am doing wrong i have subscribed to your channel another question why is it tat the crank makes a lot of noise and it kind of skip and he it starts to knit again but as i go along it does it again well thank for your video have a great and bless day
Hey thanks for watching and subscribing! I don't know anything about the addi as I've never owned one. If the Sentro ever starts grinding like that, it's likely some gears are worn out/ defective. They do sell kits for Sentro parts that you could use to repair the machine but I've never done so
Thank you for your patience to teach me to cast on my yarn after waiting for a month to learn you showed me in less than 10 minutes
I just love your channel and you are precise in teaching thank you! I just love those pastel rainbows and want to try to do hats for my Grand daughters. Thank you!!!
Thank you for making these videos I'm new at using this machine and right now I'm on my third hat. I was clueless when I got it how to cast on and off and now after watching you I finally got it. I have one request if you could move your camera to the other side of your hands because sometimes your right hand is blocking what you're doing and it's hard to know without trial and fail to figure it out. Thank you so much
Hi again I found a yarn in my stash CARON SIMPLY SOFT 60Z well i try it and now its holding up well so far i also wanted to ask if its normal for the crank wheel to get stock as you are turning it what can i do for that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I had tons of trouble having to pick up dropped knits and spending 10 minutes when i could be doing this .
Thank you so much for posting this video. It was a huge help for me.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching ☺
I just open my , I received as a present, but is hard for me understand the instructions sonI was looking in UA-cam and I find you, this tutorial looks easy and very well explained. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Dina, I'm glad I could help! 😊
Thanks, I just got mine and had trouble starting but your tutorial help me a lot . Thanks. Do you know where I can get a book on making projects with it. I crochet a lot.
Thanks so much you have made this very easy, how many rows for an adult beannie?
Thanks!
This really helped me figure out how to cast my machine. Thank you so much!
Aw and thank you! I'm so glad that I could help! 😊💖
Thank you for this video. Just a comment. When you were reading the yarn to remove, your hand was in the way so I couldn't see how exactly you did this.
Hi,
Yeah, at the time, I had a bad set up but shortly after, I was able to make a tutorial that specifically focuses on casting off the machine. You can view that here ua-cam.com/video/a1Qn4l5r6pM/v-deo.html
Thank you for making it easy to use my machine. Do you have a video on how to add a brim to the hat?
Hi! Thanks for watching~ I certainly do. It's on my 'How to Use the Sentro Knitting Machine' playlist
Super good tutorial! I didn’t under stand the last bit before I cranked it so I got a little frustrated and I did a loom knitting so I new how to make the thick bottom bit of a toque.
I have a different Brand: Zezirdas but the yarn guide is flawed have to hold inwards more, but figured it out yeah got it now…But crank is hard using good yarn on less tension too
thanks for the video. you made it very easy. can one take the handle off and attach a drill to it to whip up a hat in less than 2 minutes?
Hi Anne, in my experience the handle is hard to remove but there is an attachment you can get off Etsy that goes over the handle and it appears to work fine for a lot of people 😊
I love this question! It
Makes me think of Tim the Tool Man always upgrading to more power! Great thinking Anne!
I’ve seen a UA-cam video where someone did this.
My daughter used up the yarn(her first time). Can I tie more yarn to the end to cast off?
This tutorial is perfect. Thank you, SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for making this video. I bought the one you have and the little one as well. Thank you so much. Love what you did with the hat at the bottom with the crochet.Thank you.
You're welcome! I'm glad to help!
I want to do this is a memory care unit for seniors.. any chance you can show me in a video what you did after you took the hat off. Step by step. Please
Hi Krysten,
That is a very sweet cause. I have a whole playlist of Sentro tutorials that go over how to make different hats and the cast off process back on my channel. Good luck in your project!
This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! ❤️💕
I'm glad to help! Thank you for watching! Happy Making and Happy New Year!
Awesome!!!! Great pace and descriptions!! I can’t wait to get started.
Please explain how to join a new ball of wool when making a scarf
This was an AWESOME teaching video ! THANK YOU
I’m watching to make sure I miss no needles but I’m continually finding holes. If I go any slower, I will slip into a coma. Any suggestions? I have had to frog it 5 times & am ready to take a hammer to this machine.
Thanks for making this video. It was very helpful. To make an adult hat how many rows do you do?
I just ordered one of those machine I have the 22 knitting loom machine and the 40 right now. I love them.
\
I have the Sentro Rabbit and when I knit with it leave large spaces in betwen stitches . Do you have an idea how I can stop this?? The directions that came are very poor no help at all. I have T & P but I can only use the T the machine won't crank at all when I try the P. Thank You Angie
I can't be fore sure, it sounds like maybe the yarn you're using is thinner than the gauge of the machine? I'd possibly try a double strand or a different yarn. As for the machine settings, have you tried cranking in the opposite direction when it's in P mode?
Thank you 😊. Your video was super helpful.
awesome video!!! really needed it too bc I just unboxed my sentro! thank you!! :D
pov: you’re watching this for the 50th time waiting for your sentro knitting machine that is coming in 2 days
Lol I hope you're enjoying your machine!
