    Tip : For any Knitting !
    Your better doing a Swatch Gauge eg x30 Sitches over
    x20 Rows on Waste Yarn at both Ends. Remove from Machine. (Or from Needles.)
    Stretch St's until it's Fabric.
    Then get some long Sewing Metal Pins. Pin a Square (Say over required Yarn Band Label Specification re Tension.) It measuring say Inches (") or Centimeters (cm) And then you can get True Length Measurement as per Yarn to advised Band Label Guage Size.
    That way your Clothing will be the correct Size. Nice and easy. And no Tears are cried after Hours of work ! 😉
    Just saying. Happy Knitting or Cranking that Handle !

    I really like this project. It is something I would wear. You did an amazing job. I have purchased a knitter machine finally after debating about it for a while. I am a knitter and crocheter. I like the Tunisian style of crochet it very very easy. This machine gives the look of Tunisian style. Now I won't have to have sore hands and shoulders while creating a project. Whoever made the knitter machine is a genius!. I will be watching more of your videos I am learning so much.

    I have been kicking around the idea of getting one of these knitting machines. Your sweater looked really cool, but I’m curious about what the top of the back looks like when you wear it.
    I’m going to try this, knitting by hand.
    But your video has given me confidence to go ahead and purchase the knitting machine!🙂

    • @thecraftygrrl
      @thecraftygrrl  Рік тому +2

      The top of this style is like a loose rolled hem but if I was making another one, I would add a crochet finish (or knitting if I learned to do that) so it looks cleaner. For my first one, there are many things I would change. hahah If you already knit, there are so so many ways you can customize your pieces had finish nicely.

    also if you iron the bottom edge you will have a flat edge if you choose not to finish it with crochet or ribbing. lightly iron the edge don't " smash" it with too much heat or weight as you iron it. It came out nice!

    Awesome job cool idea! I have a question. What should I do when I drop a stitch or few? I keep starting over and once I decide to sew it in and ignore one just to make my first hat but I doubt I can always do that. I bought one for my mom and I for Christmas. My mom knows how to crochet one zigzag pattern but lately she keeps dropping stitches and it’s not lining up which this upsets her, so I was hoping this device would help. I want to make one too ! Thank you

    • @thecraftygrrl
      @thecraftygrrl  Рік тому +1

      First of all, if it is dropping that many stitches, it is probably the yarn. These machines are very picky about which kind of yarn you can use without a headache. I have so much luck with Caron Simply Soft brand and any of the yarn made for babies. Also, once you learn to fix dropped stitches, it's no big deal and you can use that concept to make cool details as you get more advanced. Here's a quick video on fixing dropped stitches here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsczchllsRr9Y
