I'm doing something wrong casting on.. I cast on one row, then when I start cranking the second row, the first row comes off. which way am I supposed to crank the handle???
After trying 3 videos yours was the best i thought i would never get the hang of the machine you are wonderful i am 84 years old so anyone can do it if thay folow your video thank you
I just got a singer circular knitting machine and your tutorial is amazing and told me exactly how to make this thing work even though its a different machine
Thank you. I really try to get good angles so everyone can see exactly what they need to do. I do not have a video on making a panel, but I will put it on my list and will make one for you. Thank you again for all your support!
I’m having the same issue 🤔after I cast on and try to start my first row it wont catch under the pin. I’ve tried different ways to place the yarn before I try to start. Guess it has to be placed in xactly the right way. Also, if I get started ok, I get a stitch that has 2 strands in front. Not sure what I’m doing wrong🤔 don’t know if it’s explainable in writing. I’ve watched zillions of videos. If you have anything that might help, getting frustrated😔
@@karenschwalb4952 Hi Karen! Thanks for watching my video. I'm not sure if you're experiencing the same issue I once had, but it sounds familiar. Some time ago, I bought my first Sentro knitting machine. No matter what I tried, I kept getting "dropped stitches." When I showed this to my husband, he noticed that it happened consistently on the same pin (or needle) each time. He decided to take the Sentro apart and remove that specific needle. Upon comparing it to another needle, he discovered that it was slightly bent backward. Even though it was a new machine, these things sometimes happen and I couldn't return it at that point. My husband used a heat gun to carefully bend the needle back into the correct position. He used a template of a good needle drawn on card stock to guide him. After this fix, the machine no longer gave me any problems. The main point here is that regardless of how you cast on, the issue might not be with you but rather something as simple as a bent needle, which is an easy fix. Good needles can be purchased inexpensively on AliExpress (takes a much longer time to receive your purchase than Amazon, but on Amazon it costs more). Again, without seeing exactly what's happening with your situation, I can't be certain. But I can share what happened to me, and I hope this helps you or anyone else who might come across this. I too was once frustrated so I fully understand. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you fix this soon. - Nancy ❤

This is the BEST instructions I have found on casting on and casting off. Thank you so very much, I now know what I was doing wrong. Ty ty ty❤ your the best!! 😊
I am so glad you like it. I was really hoping the camera positions would help people understand. I know it took me a while to figure it out, and I could not find clear instructions out there, so I decided to make my own. I have more videos that I hope you enjoy, and I host a weekly live event on Saturdays at 12 pm EST. I hope you can join us. Thank you for all your support!
Have 2slipped stitches next to each other….i tried to figure it out, so frustrating! I was all ready to cast off and it’s making me crazy. Don’t want to lose the whole hat😔
Hi Donna! Thank you for watching my video! That's a great question. The truth is, technically, you can actually start on any pin you like! But the white pin is like a little helper reference marker. If you begin and end on the white pin, it means you've made one full loop around the machine in "tubular mode." When you follow patterns for circular knitting machines like Sentro or Addi, they might tell you to crank and knit a certain number of rows. Imagine making a cozy beanie hat for adults (which takes about 108-130 rows, depending on the yarn and how tight you knit). If you start and stop at the white pin, that counts as one row! Just keep cranking to the number of rows to finish your new masterpiece. Some machines, like the Sentro 40-pin, don't have a built-in row counter. Even the counter on a 48-pin Sentro might break and stop working. But no worries! If that happens, one can track the number of rows cranked. Watch the white pin make a full circle around the machine and count each time it comes back to where it started. Many circular machine knitters like using the white pin as a guide for tube knitting. If you want, you can technically pick another pin as your marker. Just remember to keep track of that specific pin. That's why the white pin is important, but it's up to you! Everyone starts somewhere, even soon-to-be amazing machine knitters like you! We're all here to learn and help each other. Also check out my other machine knitting videos. And please don't forget to Like and Subscribe. I hope this helps you with your next project. Happy crafting, and Happy Holidays! - Nancy ❤️

Is there a way to prevent dropped and tucked stitches ?
Yes, there are a few tricks out there using dryer sheets, ear plugs, etc, and they work well!
WOW. SUPER CLEAR TUTORIAL, GREAT CAMERA VIEWS😅
Glad you liked it! I try to give clear views on my tutorials

@jeannylacey8026 You should be turning the handle clockwise.

Excellent closeups of the casting on procedures! Do you have a video of casting on a smaller panel?❤
Thank you. I really try to get good angles so everyone can see exactly what they need to do. I do not have a video on making a panel, but I will put it on my list and will make one for you. Thank you again for all your support!

Do i have to keep giving my skein slack? It seems so
Yes, and be careful with the tension. If you don't give it slack and it pulls too tight, it will show on your work.
So far clearest instructions I have found! Thank you so much

Does it matter where you start casting off. I passed it and don’t want to try to move it
No, it doesn't really matter since you will be going all the way around.
Have 2slipped stitches next to each other….i tried to figure it out, so frustrating! I was all ready to cast off and it’s making me crazy. Don’t want to lose the whole hat😔
If the white needle if the last pin why is that the first pin to add the yarn to? Sorry I am a newbie
