Great tutorial, I would love to see more decorative stitches. I would also like to learn how to make a sweater(pullover) and use the cable stitch or other decorative stitches. Love your videos so well done.

[@rachele4593]

Omg! Great idea, BTW I love the bird sounds in the background it totally reminded of home near northern Minnesota.

[@emilysmith2784]

Finding a music everyone will enjoy is difficult as music is so subjective but I figured everyone likes bird sounds. Thanks for the comment

Thanks for the video! Would love to see more Addi decorative stitches and projects. Would also be helpful if you added the instructions in the description 😉 too.

I am a total beginner, and will have to watch a lot more videos before I even think of trying this..as soon as I get my Sentro machine.

[@dianemurphey7810]

I like this and would like to see more cable designs. This video wasn’t easy to understand because when you attached the pieces to the needles the back of your hand obscured the ability to see what was going on. I love what you are doing, have subscribed and look forward to watching all your videos. Thank You!

Great video. I would love to see more cable techniques and decorative stitches. Also would love to see more cardigans and sweaters if you can.

[@ThePinkBinks]

Honestly great to see someone who’s really engineering their patterns and thinking in 3D. Although I’m stuck as heck right now because I’m feeling creative on constructing loom patterns on this and don’t have the right screwdrivers to strip the machine. I don’t know why they can’t be supplied ready to use. No wonder most people give up on them. I’d love to see more of your creativity on how to really construct items as these machines have real potential! Very innovative design you have there! ♥️

Would love to see more!! This is genius. I have been stressing on how to get more from my machine. But because I have a crotcheting background and not knitting. It’s been difficult. I would love to see more videos 😇

[@emilysmith2784]

Thank you. More techniques coming soon. I am also a crocheter rather than knitter. Have you tried knooking? It’s knitting with a crochet hook, I prefer it to crochet now. I have some videos on my channel if you want to try it out.

[@shelleyjackson8793]

I think this is great for people who can’t hand knit, but honestly I would find it easier to cable by hand.

[@emilysmith2784]

Me too. I don’t really use this method anymore but it is much faster so maybe if I’m ever in a rush I might use it again.

[@normawilches6314]

[@anduagalidia]

[@hellogoditsmesara3569]

God bless this is a lot of work, thanks for the tutorial it was very clear and helpful question: do you knit with needles at all? if you do is this easier and/or faster for you? I knit with needles and to me it just seems faster and less complicated to cable stitch that way but I've never tried with a machine so I don't have that perspective happy knitting!

[@emilysmith2784]

No. I don’t knit with needles. I could never master it. I can knook which is knitting with a crochet hook and I do find knitting the base of the project on the machine and then doing afterthought cables quicker but this video is mostly aimed at those who cannot knit by hand. Thanks for the comment ☺️

[@SuperTamig]

This looks like so much work I'd rather just do this on a regular loom Plus because you are not speaking I'm just not understanding what you're doing a 100%...

[@emilysmith2784]

This was a first experiment of many. I don’t use this technique much anymore. My afterthought cables is my preferred technique these days.

[@walkbyfaith1258]

You are amazing. The patience involved. I have done cables on the The Bond and by hand, but never had patience on the circular machine :/

[@emilysmith2784]

Thank you. Having access to only 3 stitches at a time is quite limiting. I am considering a flat bed machine, do you like The Bond?

[@walkbyfaith1258]

@@emilysmith2784 I LOVE the Bond. I've made hats and scarves, lap blankets for those in wheelchairs, etc. for our homeless and Vets for more than 25 years. As I've gotten older, I've had surgeries on my hands, I can't produce as much as I want by hand. My sister got me the Bond for my BD one year, the rest is history ♥ She got me the Addi about 6 years ago to make hats. Love learning new things on both of them.

oh man this is sooo niceee, i wanna see if its possible to make the cables smaller :o

[@emilysmith2784]

That is something I want to experiment with too.

[@snowemu246]

Love this! Could you show how you ended up attached the finished panel to make the end tube? I imagine it would be using the same technique as attaching the cable?

[@emilysmith2784]

I used a mattress stitch. I am working on some cabled wrist warmers and other cabled things.

[@brynharford6838]

Hi. Nice structured look on cable knit there! Can you tell me where to get the plastic markers. They look handy as!

[@emilysmith2784]

I got mine on Amazon. They are called stitch markers.

[@michellemayne8517]

Awesome video, love the cable. Would like to know can you knit a whole cable Jersey on the machine?

[@emilysmith2784]

Thanks. I have some cable projects coming up.

[@maki7249]

When doing strips, is there any maths to consider like multiples of 9's? Can you do bigger cables that are 12 stitches wide?

[@emilysmith2784]

I would say to make the strip longer than your project as you can always rip it back if its too long. It shouldnt have to be too much longer, maybe an extra 2-3 rows for every 10 rows of your project just to be safe. If you end up experimenting let us know your findings

[@beckyreynolds5660]

Can crochet thread be used to make doilies

[@emilysmith2784]

I don’t think so. I am not even sure I would knit a doilies. They are usually crocheted right?

[@jenniferlacy8923]

Garter stitch and moss stitch

[@emilysmith2784]

I’ve never tried moss stitch before.

[@mubangadbmulenga]

Is this particular tutorial for a left handed person

[@emilysmith2784]

I am right handed and crank the machine with my right hand going clockwise. Depends of you are comfortable doing that.

[@relaxingclips7697]

How did you know to attach markers every 6 rows on the cables and where to attach markers on the panel that you stuck the cables to? I assume you used a regular hand knitted cable pattern and then converted it. Could you share that pattern written down? If it is not too hard. I just feel it would be easier for me to follow than with the video alone. If you can't share the pattern written down, I just want to thank you for the work you did so far, as I have enjoyed all your videos.

[@emilysmith2784]

It was trial and error to figure out 6 rows. Any less and the strip would not reach, any more and the strip was too loose. Sorry I don’t have a written pattern to offer.

[@ednarosales7814]

Me puede hacer el favor de explicar en español

[@emilysmith2784]

Spanish subtitles are there now. I hope they are ok 😊

[@TanyaOwens]

? since you go 5 rows before you attach, does that mean the cable is not fully attached?

[@emilysmith2784]

At the start you do 2 rows before you attach. You need to have a few rows between attaching or you won’t have the length you need to cross. But no, the cable isn’t fully attached as it would be in traditional knitting. I am however working on a new technique where it will be (hopefully). 😉

[@binyamwoldewolde9503]

Where are in this machines

[@emilysmith2784]

[@firehiwotteshome5718]

[@hotpinkthread]

It would be nice if you actually showed at normal speed how to do the 5 panel stitches. I tried slowing it down, but still cannot figure it out. Thanks for the video, though!

[@emilysmith2784]

Do you meant the strips I make right at the start? I’ll be doing a few more cable videos so I’ll be sure to explain that part a little more in the next one for you 😀 thanks for the tip 😉

[@HJKelley47]

I do appreciate this video, however, the nature of doing cables on a Sentro/Addi requires a talking tutorial. If this was simple knitting, ASMR is acceptable.

[@emilysmith2784]

Thanks for the suggestion. I like to have a mix of talking and non talking tutorials to appeal to a wider audience. I just uploaded a new cable video with a voiceover of you wanted to check it out 🙂

[@hotpinkthread]

I concur! The most important step of making a panel of only 5 stitches on a 40 or 48 needle machine is just breezed right by.

[@annfield7356]

Shame you are obstructing the camera view each time you put the cable strips onto the needles I am a very nearby ( Got my Sentro yesterday)

[@emilysmith2784]

I tried my best. 😊

[@Jesspos2011]

Yes but please can you speak it helps me understand
