    Well I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!!! Thank you!! I am a 76 year old hand knitter that treated myself to this wonderful machine. I enjoy designing things mainly for the homeless and missions. I ham a widow and would rather make something for the needy than waste time on TV. I stumbled across your post and now you are stuck with me. I am hooked!! I have crochet, knitted, made bobbin lace and other forms of lace making and embroidery for over 70 years and have found a new technique. I will be watching your videos to learn more!! Thank you, thank you! 21:27

    Keep dropping stitches but I persevered and today I have made my first garment I’m absolutely thrilled with what I’ve done no pattern whatsoever just did it all myself.
    Thank you 😁

      Hi! Could you possibly tell me how you persevered through the dropped stitches? Did you learn how to fix them, or figure out how to not have that problem? My daughter and I can't stop them from happening. I'm so glad for this video, but surprised with how she doesn't ever have to deal with them.

    Ok so here is the thing. I read tons of reviews regarding the various knitting machines and to be frank I was scared to purchase one. I came across your videos on youtube to complete my reviews and some others. I decided to purchase the Sentro because I did not want to spend a lot of money for something I would end up hating. I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so pleased with my Sentro. I spent a whole day reviewing tips and tricks and fixes. I also spent that day making mistakes and learning to correct them. Now have knitted 8 hats and 4 scarves. Christmas is complete. The more I watch your videos the more I learn. Keep up the good work.

    Thank you so much for this video! No wonder when I pulled my leg warmer off the machine it was unraveling on the end because I was going under every single peg when I cast on. Thank you! The pamphlet that comes with the machine is so horrid. I could not understand it but this video wakes me up! And your cast off is genius. When I try to use the message in the pamphlet I lost all my stitches and had to pick them up with knitting needles and it was a complete mess so thank you so much! I was going to return this and now I think I’ll keep it!

I was having trouble casting off but your video explained it so I have it now down pat.

    Dear, thank you so much for your tutorials! May I have a question? What kind od yarn should I use for my Sentro? I mean how thin or strong (if you can, write please for how big crochet it is recommended - this could help a lot).

    • @Katieree
      @Katieree  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Eva, I find 8 ply (DK weight) yarn works best and usually the softer the better 😊 Thanks for watching!

    Hello Katieree, I have just bought one of these knitting machines, and am wondering if it is possible to use thin wool or cotton yarn? and if it is possible to knit patterns (cable stitch....etc?) thank you so much for your tutorials! they are very well explained! and at least I can start more easily!!!

    See, this is what I needed. I'm used to loom knitting and to make hats I use two strands of worsted weight yarn. I was having a hell of a time getting this to cast on using two strands, two strands are basically a bulky weight. Now I know it doesn't do well with bulky yarn

    • @Katieree
      @Katieree  3 роки тому

      Yeah unfortunately 2 strands is a no go in the knitting machine 👎🏼 thanks for watching! 🌻

    Thank you for such a clear and helpful video. I was able to cast on and knit a hat with worsted weight. However, it was too small around for any of the adults in my family. Do I need to use Aran or bulky weight? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to knit hats for charity but don't want to just limit it to children or people with very small heads.

    • @Katieree
      @Katieree  3 роки тому

      If you have a 48 peg machine your hats should definitely fit adults! Try loosening your tension or try a finer yarn.. I find DK (8 ply) works best 😁
