[@Kera.S.]

I've watched so many videos on the knitting machine and making sweaters. Yours is by far easier to follow, better explained and more comprehensive than all the others. Thank you so much for sharing 💙 🤗

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Oh that is great to hear! I try to share information the way I learn best. 😊 keep having fun and grow your skills! Thank you for watching and commenting

[@drummerhel]

Truly the first video I’ve found using the Sentro machine where it looks sophisticated and constructed with a lot of thought and finesse! The use of different techniques is exactly what I hoped to find, thanks!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate your comments so much. I know that making real things with the knitting machine can be a bit fiddly but it makes a difference in the end result. I love figuring out ways to make real garments with our circular knitting machines. 😊

[@kofozy]

Thank you for this wonderful way of removing the waste yarn, and the ribbing, well explained 👍

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Oh! So happy to help. Thank you for watching!!

[@BBMc107]

Love the written directions to fall back on after the tutorial. That is a really great addition! You make ribbing look so easy. I need more practice. Beautiful sweater.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

You are so welcome! I like having direction written for myself so I thought others would find them useful too. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and check out the description too!

[@joanbradwell9000]

Great tutorial, thank you. Really looking forwards to knitting a cardigan now . ❤️ xx

[@angelkaosdragon]

Love the sweater! Great video, as always! You keep me inspired, always.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Love that I can inspire you! Thank you for watching! I hope you will share it too!

[@scotilla]

This is FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for making these tutorials. I just got my Addi King and I’m now a lot less intimidated to start using it. The two colors of waist yarn is GENIUS.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

So happy you found value in this video!! Thank you for watching

[@sadvibez_x]

by far THE BEST tutorial on youtube. thank you so much. i was having such a hard time using the panel setting. i am going to work on this over the weekend. i am so excited!!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Whoohoo! Thank you for the lovely words of support! I hope you have a better time knitting panels now. Just remember to slow down at the edges and make sure that the yarn loop has dropped down below the bump and you should be golden!

[@bonitapet2763]

Wow the best video yet. Thank you so much for teaching us how to make sweater that looks professionally made. Can’t wait to start this project!!!

[@Helens-Crochet]

⁠@@StephanieBCreativity yes I appreciate your hard work in these tutorials. Found that I need 16" for upper arm plus an allowance. Maybe I can do a triangle panel?? *** 🤔 if I could figure out a triangle panel from about the elbow continuing under the arm and down the side of the body adding additional width to the body ??? 🙀🤣🤣 who said anything with simple!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

@@Helens-Crochet a triangle panel is very similar to the new emotional support chicken pattern. Cast on a couple stitches then do 1 increase either side and ( you can do the inc every row or do the increases and 2 knit rows)

[@Helens-Crochet]

[@tianamarie989]

Im almost finished with this sweater. You explained this so well! I did modify some things like doing a split hem and made the back slightly longer. Thank you so so much!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Yea!!!! I’m so excited to hear about your experience and wow! I love the mods you describe. Thank you so much for letting me know.

[@tianamarie989]

​@StephanieBCreativity I just finished it. Great pattern and easy to follow instructions. My mom wants one, too. Thank you so so much for this tutorial. I was wondering about your row counter that counts your panel rows. Are you marking it, or does it mark it for you?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

@@tianamarie989 the row counter is marking both forward and back I love it! I have it listed in the description of the video.it is the digital counter. I attached it with silicon nano tape that I got on Amazon. That way I could attach it and adjust if I needed to. Then I wound up all the extra cord and zip tied it out of the way to a leg. Thank you again for sharing your experience!

[@destructivedes]

👏👏👏👏👏YES!!!!! Thank you so so much for this!!!! I have been looking everywhere for a cardigan tutorial for the sentro. The ones I'm finding are too "girly" or short or just not what I'm looking for. I wanted just a basic cardigan like this. It's SO perfect. SO SO Well explained. Especially the ribbing. The techniques you use are wonderful. I love how you did the arms. I made a sweater and my issue was with the sleeves being the same width all the way around and well, getting older I"ve got the arm jiggle going on. I am super grateful for this video. My only only question, is there a way to add front pockets? I wish I could post a pic. Nothing fancy, just one small pocket on the front of the left and right sides straight across. Think Kurt Cobain's famous cardigan 😉

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Oh thank you. Yes, that was my goal with the sleeves. Wider toward the shoulder and narrower at the ribbed cuffs. I would think making a pocket with a knitted tube done on the smaller 22 needle knitting machine then flattened and the open ends neatly crochet stitched closed, hand sewn on in position would work. I haven’t tried making pockets yet though- so it would be an experiment.

[@leodetepessatestryhalski5133]

Que maravilhoso! Abraços do Brasil para você!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Thank you!!

[@livingcreatively1]

You have so much info packed into 1 video. Thank you so much. How many balls of yarn did it take you to make this beautiful sweater? What you could do is crochet a ribbed edge around the front, collar and opposite side to finish it off.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Thank you so much for your kind comments and suggestion! I appreciate you being here. Oh yes, a crocheted edge and collar would be lovely! I’ll have to figure out how many balls of yarn this took. I think I bought 6? I made it in the Summer last year. 😊

[@uptownfunkette157]

Super excited to make this for my mom. Would you be able to provide finished measurements? I want to make sure its not too small for her. Thank you!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

I’ll get the measurments posted soon! Thanks for the question- I hope your mom will love it!

[@_noname___9036]

What a great tutorial! Thank you! 😊 but how can I use your video for other sizes and maybe a closed sweater (not a cardigan)? Do you have any tips? 😊

[@judyowens6753]

Great job Stephanie. I’ve been wanting to attempt to crochet a cardigan but I may try it on my Sentro instead. Thank you for the tutorial and inspiration. How many skeins of yarn did you end up using?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

I ended up using about 2.5 skeins. I have more ideas for sweaters on the Sentro- they are so quick and easy!I may do one with some combination of crochet and knitting too. Lots of ideas. Thank you for watching and your lovely comments! I hope you’ll share this with your knitting friends!

[@JoBetts-un6dg]

That was just amazing. May I asked how you changed from ribbing on the arms back to normal knitting please? 🙏🏻

[@gillianvandervegte4377]

When she unhooked a stitch and then used her crochet hook to chain up the stitch (I think she had 8 rows) that was the ribbing. The rest, just going back and forth was knitting. Does that make sense?

[@JoBetts-un6dg]

Yes! Thanks Gillian! I need to engage my brain 🤣

[@StephanieBCreativity]

@@gillianvandervegte4377 that is exactly what I did! Thank you for answering so quickly.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Gilllan’s answer was exactly right. Thank you for asking your question, and for watching.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

@@Justkeepswimming777 I wear a 12/14 USA sizing or size Large - Thanks for watching and I hope you’ll give it a try. I’m actually wearing that same sweater right now!

Totally brilliant! I can't wait to finish the blanket I'm making and then I am going to do this. I am definitely subscribing to your channel. I am in UK so if you could say which yarn weight you are using (DK, Aran, Chunky etc ) it would make life easier. Thanks.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Welcome to the community! I love the UK! The weight of the yarn is Worsted weight and it is equivalent to Aran weight yarn.

Hi! I would like to know how to knit a pair of tube socks on my Addi Express 46 pin knitting machine. My husband doesn't like tight socks so I'm wanting to knit some that are loose around his calf. Thank you!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

That sounds like a challenge. I haven’t ever tried making socks on the bigger knitting machines.

[@sadvibez_x]

Hi Miss Stephanie. i’ve been having trouble with my edges. i cannot seem to get it right. do you have a video showing step by step how to do the edges on a panel with the waste yarn? i have no idea what i am doing wrong 😢

[@StephanieBCreativity]

I can record a specific video about getting good edges on panels soon! If you check out my How to make a Cozy Cape video- it is made with wedge shaped panels and I showed up close the steps to get clean edges.

[@AngelaMBell-o4k]

What size of sweater did that make? How would you make it bigger if need be?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

I am size 12 and the sweater I made would be a 12/14 size or size large. To make it bigger I would add length and depending on how much larger I would add a panel In the back and add 2 narrower extra panels on the front right and left that equals the width of the extra back panel. Or add the extra narrow panels under the arm at the side seams. But then the sleeves would need to be adjusted too. I may need to do a video on how I would do exactly that. I may need to find a friend who wears a larger size so I can get measurements to transfer to a new cardigan.

[@tjgibson1973]

Yes this would be great

[@StephanieBCreativity]

@@tjgibson1973 thank you!

[@gloriaf4015]

Please show how to easily do the math ( lol I hate math ) to make a plus size sweater! I love your tutorial the best out of any I've found so far on KZbin!! I'm still too intimidated to try to make one because I'm a plus size and have no idea how to figure out how much yarn I need or what size the panels are to figure out how many I would need. I want to make a long, loose & cozy cardigan with pockets.......

[@SaraAmare-bs4lh]

Hi Stephanie, thanks for the video. But how long will it take to knit a sweater on sentro machine

[@DeliberatelyCreative]

Hey! The sweaters take me 8-15 hours total. Your timings May vary.😊

[@Woolmouse]

Can you do this with the addi?

[@heatherpriestap7134]

On the front back panel where you added the red to show where to pull the stitch to start the rib stitch - pulling the red out later doesn’t drop stitches?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Nope, the red yarn is worked with the main yarn so it is just pulled out and all the main yarn is still in place. No worries about dropping stitches. Thanks for watching and your question.

[@hazelmom1]

How many balls wool did ot take if u using 100g balls this will be the first cardigan im gonna try knit and want to make sure i have enough wool

[@StephanieBCreativity]

@@hazelmom1 hey there, I used 3 big balls of yarn they were each 380 gms- so I would say about 9-10, 100 gm balls

[@tatianaterziian2907]

My panel switch broke but I am going to get a Addi machine

[@StephanieBCreativity]

@@tatianaterziian2907 as a work around you can still do panels if your machine still knits in the round you can still knit panels- I always work flat panels on the regular circular mode cranking forward and backwards. You just have to pay attention to the ends of the panels as the machine won’t warn you to stop. Have fun

[@jennmonteverdi4359]

Will this pattern translate over to the addi king as well?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Yes totally!

[@jennmonteverdi4359]

@@StephanieBCreativity awesome thank you!❤️

[@jenniferdieman3233]

I’m a little confused with the red “marking line” to do the last ribbing. Won’t the whole thing unravel once that is pulled out or am I overthinking it?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

The marking line gives you a target to let the stitches out to. They won’t fall out you have to actually pull them out. Relax , breathe and do a practice piece- just cast on a small panel. Work a few rows and then do the cast on edge ribbing. Then work 20 rows place the life line then knit 8-10 rows and then do the ribbing. You will see how it all works and then you’ll be ready to do the big panels for the sweater. You’ll be great!

[@jenniferdieman3233]

Sorry, I’m asking how do you remove the red marking line once the piece is finished? Since it’s in the middle of your work won’t it create live stitches when you remove it?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

@@jenniferdieman3233 great question, since it is marking just one round it is easy to just pull it out. - since it Is worked with the working yarn it is not going to lose any stitches when you pull it out. You can remove it anytime after doing the ribbing.

[@Kera.S.]

When you pull the red yarn marking line out it won't unravel the project because you only went across in 1 direction 1 time correct? But if you had gone a full round of back and forth and then pulled it out It would cause it to unravel, am I understanding this correctly? Thank you for your time.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

@@Kera.S. yes, and it was held with the working yarn for that one row. So pulling it out won’t change the integrity of the knitted fabric.
