Grandma Mary’s Vintage Slippers ~ Addi, Sentro, Circular Knitting

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 28 вер 2022
  • 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. ❤️

    Thank you, Shelly for telling how to measure for your foot size. And also, the tip on using the waste yarn on the end of the project vs. the beginning. These are things so many probably just think everyone knows, but they don't. Your videos are so helpful. I appreciate you!!

    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 remember patients wearing these in the hospital wing of a aged care home, whenever another pair turned up, they would get such a smile, the comfort these provide for cold feet and the knowledge that these older ladies had appreciating the effort someone went to just for them.

    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.

    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  Рік тому +2

      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. Hope that makes sense.

    I got a Sentro last year, brand new. and after the first few projects the counter also broke, I did a few more projects using stitch markers so i could keep track, but I eventually got tired of it, so I opened up the machine and stitch counter, took a look at it, the gear were the counter meets the machine was mis-aligned, I fixed it. put it back together, and my counter has been working PERFECTLY ever since, and the machine is running even smoother than when it came out of the box.

    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.

    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

    My grandma made me a pair of yellow and white slippers like these. I remember being about 7 and getting bit by mosquitoes and scratched until it got infected and started getting blood poisoning of course my mom took me to the doctor but all I could wear on that foot b/c I couldn't wear a shoe on that foot was the slipper my grandma made me. I wore the slipper to the doctor, I loved those slippers I wore them out till they fell apart.

  • @Rennagayle
    @Rennagayle 9 місяців тому

    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!

    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  Рік тому

      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.

      Sew up the toe end first then sew up the seam for a bit and put your foot into it. Take a stitch marker and mark one side in the place that feels comfortable - (maybe 1/4”) away from where it hits the base of your leg. Sew up to that point.
      Hope that makes sense. 🥰

      Hi Raquel
      I use my Addi clamps to hold down my Sentro. I have a video on my channel showing you how I use them. Hope it helps.
      You use your Addi basically the same way you use your Sentro. If it is making a loud noise check the side to make sure the button is switched to circular and not panel knitting.
      Also if you are using to tight of tension it will make your gears work to hard and that could be the noise.

      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.
