Can't believe I passed this knitting machine by in a thrift store once, I still think about her every week 💔 But despite it all, I loved this video 😊💚

[@oliviaormsby7114]

The biggest knit thing I missed at a thrift store was a complete set of interchangeable bamboo circular needles. At the time I thought circular needles were only for hats. Those needles haunt me still.

[@leanaafk7857]

did you know it was a knitting machine then ?? 😭

[@GentlethemJoey]

Now that I have one, I can totally see where that regret would come from. 💔 I JUST got it, so all I’ve done is make a hat out of the cheap yarn that came with it just to practice using it. 😂

[@purplemelon568]

Isn't it at Walmart for 15 bucks?

[@S.Waters.]

I bought a similar one for $2 at my local Salvation Army. It’s missing the tensioner and legs though, which makes it a little harder to work with(gotta watch yarn tension or it’ll drop stitches), but it works.

[@brainstormedperson132]

These machines are amazing for disabled makers/chronic illness people! My cousin has Chrones disease and she has super low energy days, but she still wants to make something instead of just lying around. She is really happy with her knitting machine 🤗

[@iwantasonlikeizuku8912]

as an Occupational therapist, i found it really good idea for my kids

[@janetkincade1735]

You can buy replacement counters

[@firefeather9999]

I have crohns too and am looking into these machines to help with my wrist inflammation vs regular knitting and crochet.

[@Thebeezzkneezz.]

I'm getting one for Christmas! I crochet and it takes so long cuz I make my own patterns! And count in my head, I don't use tracking threads or markers So I just wanted somthing that I could use with out putting much thoguht into! Now I can "knitt" without really paying attention I'm so excited for her to show up!!

[@terenlarge]

I use a clicker counter thing to count my rows, just push a button everytime I finish a row and voila. That way I don't forget too when I leave my projects untouched for months at a time which I am wont to do. There's probably apps that can do it but an analogue one is super satisfying to click!

[@viddeliten]

Why did I start thinking about click training for dogs and cats? Haha, I think I want a clicker... I mean row counter!

[@becca7333]

I used to have one similar when I was younger (a kids toy version much less fancy lol) and seeing it is what got me back into knitting :)

[@alexasunshine83]

omg it's honestly so satisfying to watch it go!!

[@tana3537]

I've found that dish soap works the best to remove stains! or a paste of baking soda works wonders as well :D the top came out amazing!

[@missmarianne_e]

I always use dish soap for a fresh stain, as well as some salt for a physical scrubbing agent (but that might not be necessary)

[@caroleberreur9585]

@@missmarianne_e careful with salt as it can set the stain more (as it is a technique to set dye into clothes).

Hi Jenna! my favorite color is purple :) I learned how to knit after getting a knitting machine for christmas when I was 9, i think? and i've been knitting (on needles) ever since and just learned how to crochet over the past 6 months !! i'm so happy that I found your channel. i love watching your videos while i craft because you're so inspiring and motivating!

Equal parts Dawn dishwashing liquid, white vinegar, and water. Spray onto stain, let sit 30 min. & then launder as usual. Works on most stains.

LOVE THE GREEN knitted top, super cute and summery! New subbie as of now! I just got the Sentro (48 Needle) Knitting Machine the other day and used it for the first time last night to make a really cute light Rose Mauve and Cream beanie hat in T (tube) mode.. made it in two hours! Would've been less but when I first casted on initially a few stitches dropped and I didn't notice until I was casting on a new color (which was a 1/3 into the hat). I had to remove it and start over, but the second time... PERFECTO! I did 120 rows (40 primary color, 40 secondary color, and another 40 primary color) and it came out so amazing.. looked store manufactured! My favorite color is GREEN BTW, second is Rose Mauve. 😁

[@winnie2379]

Wow! Guess what I had for dinner last night? Homemade Butternut Squash soup! It’s so good with grated Parmesan cheese and pumpkin seeds from Harvested for You brand.

[@roseyaxolotl6272]

My favorite color used to be purple, but I like red a lot more now. Something about the warmer hues just tickle my fancy.

[@josmargarcia5328]

Watch your videos it’s so relaxing

[@teacheraprilrogers]

Knitting machine tip. Always count rows. Counting rows will make sure that you have a more uniform piece then measuring by inches.

[@lynnedefrank9221]

On your sweater try using a baking soda and peroxide paste and use a toothbrush to clean the stain out, Don't rub the toothbrush hard. If you are leery about using a toothbrush you can also use a clean washcloth with cold water, If the stain is still there repeat the process. this works on almost all stains even tomato products!

[@riikkal7692]

Sun light makes stains fade away, definately worth to try!

[@stringcheese6833]

If you want to make the back a little shorter, you could put in a lifeline where you would want the stitches to end, cut away the fabric below it, and the pickup from the lifeline stitches and bind off there.

[@user-ds2cn9um8n]

すばらしいです♪シェアしてくれてありがとう！

[@layceestewart1398]

If you still have the stain, go to the store and buy Ivory soap! It works wonders!

[@JennaPhipps]

Omg I am going to try that! Thank you!

[@owoyey1514]

lemon essence/lemon juice it helps with any sorts of things also when you get your sheets dirty when you have your days put just hand wash it abit then put lemon essence/juice on it for 1 h or so and wash normal in the waschingmaschine

[@budd20e]

To get out butter nut squash stain I usually start with the tide to go pens after rinsing it but when that fails a baking soda and peroxide paste. This tends to work and be safe on white garments. When all else fails if its truly a white garment their is bleach but that will weaken the fabric. So it is always my last resort. I hope this help. Love out it came out. What a fun little toy/tool. 😊

[@RealityAlwaysWins]

I have an Addi machine and it's nice and fast but it's a fixed size so you can't do large panels like for men's sizes, I wanted to do a thin sweater for my hubby but the machine just ain't big enough, so I made it by hand, machines like these are super for scarves, hats and smaller garments, great for kids clothing too.

[@sylviedabee]

Use oxiclean on the butternut squash stain and rinse/scrub with cold water or wash on cold in a washing machine. Never use warm or hit water bc they lock in stains!! If you don't have oxiclean or another fabric stain remover you could also try dish soap

[@demibevis9551]

Loved this ❤️ the top looks gorgeous 🥰 My fav colour is green 💚

[@Kajaludmillastokic]

I cant stop thinking about when you licked your jacket 😂

[@leahjones9846]

Respectfully, as a fellow crocheter/knitter, I think it is good style especially the back is long because you'll never know that whichever pants or whatever keeps slipping off. You have that length to help you to cover it and enough to make it not noticeable. It the 'holes' were to be tad bit smaller like not see through, I think it is a good style but I can see where your style is going and I personally like it. Your video makes me want to get a machine myself and do it too out of curiosity because I do my project traditionally by hands.

[@matildesacchi24]

There are lots of counter apps for the phone if you need to count your rows. I use one for the panels on my Sentro knitting machine and for my handmade loom knitting. You are funny and I like your style... very entertening!

[@soniarani1547]

If you have not gotten the stain out of your jacket try lemon juice and a tiny bit of sugar and salt and scrub with half of a lemon and then use a wet rag

[@gal1011]

your french accent is soooo cute !(i'm french)

[@nononella1178]

I just realized that the top Jenna used in the thumbnail is the one that she knitted in the video !

[@lilashephard8225]

To clean your white jacket use dish Detergent and scrub it in with your fingernails till it gets real soapy and rinse. Don't let that stain dry in it it'll be way too hard to get out. Next time try pepitas with that soup, it's yummy! Great job on your knitting machine. I haven't even tried mine yet! Kudos to you!

[@sarahscott6087]

I love the hesitation before licking the soup

I’m slightly saddened that YT’s ad before this was for fast fashion from Kohl’s 😕 Dear old algorithms haven’t figured out we are here to thrift and flip and make one of a kind things we (or someone else will) want to wear for forever. My favorite color is blue 💙 and I almost lost it when you licked the soup. Good luck with that stain, oxyclean or something similar might lift it 😉

[@spiritwaterwolf]

Help lifting colour from food stains... Try to get to it as quickly as possible, as heat and time can set a colour. A next necessity to keep around the house and not just in the kitchen... 'Vinegar' and cold water will lift most colours. So I keep vinegar in the laundry room and in the bathroom, so basically anywhere there is a water source and any necessity for cleaning something (a very environmentally friendly cleaning companion) 😉

[@ivynguyen6233]

Hehe I just wanted to say I love Jenna and her videos :)

[@Kyddoemiko13]

Interesting 🤔 the counter on the Sentro can be finicky. I find different weights of yarn will also give you different lengths. A DK weight is amazing the finish garment piece will be super light. 🐝 🌻 Thanks for sharing.

[@angellinafosse1936]

I love soup!

[@knittingnana2939]

Sentro are very picky about the yarn you use, however, you can get it to work by using weights on the YARN. I have 4 circular knitters, the sentro being the largest.

[@lavenderlux3200]

Hi Jenna! I’ve been thinking about getting this knitting machine but i wasn’t sure what size yarns would work with it. I like the stitch size of the top you made and was wondering what size yarn it was? I know you said you got it while thrifting so you may not know but even if it’s a guess i would be very glad to hear! Keep up the amazing content ❤️

[@ombradeisogni6586]

Would love to know too!

[@mykaluvy]

For how thin it is I'd say it's either a lace weight or fingering weight

[@kristien2010]

Don't know if you're still curious but I have an Addi and find it does best with worsted weight yarn. You can double up smaller weights and it could work, but worsted weight or a light bulky seems to work the best.

[@Ansa45679]

Hi Jenna! I love all of you're content but one of my favorites is your plant content. I would love for you to make videos about plants more often. I'm right now getting really plant grazy and I love your way of making videos so it would be really nice if you could in a one's of a while do plant videos.

[@sarahpappas8300]

This was such a roller coaster

[@sheisme2]

I use dawn dish soap to spot clean stains! Try that!!!

[@Ilovevintage77]

The top looks absolutely amazing incredible for being knitted on this machine. Extremely newbie question but would love to learn this if for some reason you wanted to alter the back please forgive my naïveté how could you shorten it or could you or does it have to stay that length? I’ve always wondered about knitting and crochet and if once it’s done that length there’s no altering without totally unraveling it thank you so much you look beautiful

[@elea.crea2]

You can take all those stitches out and when you get to the desire length make a new hem (sorry for my english i'm latina)

[@stringcheese6833]

Since it's knitted from the bottom up, you can't unwind back (since you would be unwinding the whole thing). You would have to thread your knitting needles back to the point where you want to keep (using what's called a lifeline), cut the fabric below that, and then re-bind off with the stitches on your needles.

[@candycraftplays3890]

peroxide and dish soap works in combination, baking soda will also help
