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 !

Love this tip!!!!

[@Painter931]

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.

[@thecraftygrrl]

Thank you so much!

[@KC-nb3st]

Perfect little throw over vest when you need that little bit extra warmth. Thanks for sharing.

[@sarahmartinez2909]

❤❤❤ I am sooooooo excited to tell you that I have started using my King size Addi Machine!!! I'm doing my hubby a cardigan. I just completed the 1st sleeve. Thank you for all your tips and advise and clear instructions. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@thecraftygrrl]

That is so awesome! I know your hubby will LOVE it!

[@jsschnc]

I know it's a lot to ask but could you do this video again but use any other color but black? It was hard to see all your seaming and detail work.

[@cherylcrimin2265]

You have inspired me! I had dismissed the idea of even buying a newer knitting machine (I have an old really long one, sooo frustrating) but now I'm considering it again. CC

[@cathymayfield2064]

I love the cardigan. You make it look do easy. I am a newsubscriber. I really like your video, because you do show mistakes and how to fix them. Have a terrific week.

[@thecraftygrrl]

Thanks for subbing! I think it's important to show mistakes because we all make them...it's what we do with them that matters. :)

[@brad319]

Hey I totally appreciate you being transparent with your process including the missteps. It shows us also how to problem solve while we work and what questions we can ask ourselves too. Also new fan/follower here getting my first Sentro machine soon.

[@thecraftygrrl]

Thanks for watching and the feedback. I always make mistakes and totally think it's important to share that side of things when I can for sure. I can't wait to hear what you will be making on your machine! Are you thinking clothing focus or more like stuffies?

[@teresaduvall6269]

Your best looks great. Thank you for this. Now I understand how to connect pieces together.

[@teresaduvall6269]

I meant "vest"...i should spell check first.

[@thecraftygrrl]

Glad it was helpful!

[@beatriceconverse8409]

Very nice , I'm going to try it.

[@rosebrooke2650]

Thanks so much for your demo it has helped me so much. I will now purchase a machine.

[@brittneywilson9751]

I would love to try to do this project! Ill post if I'm able to complete it. 😁🤞👍 Awesome job!

[@thecraftygrrl]

Yes! Let me know how it goes. The first one I did was a learning experience but the more you do things like this, it gets so much easier too.

[@sabrinahewick1224]

I loved the sweater!!! and adding the crochet hem at the bottom was something I would also do...I can also repeat that along the front edges of the sweater...and even add buttons if I wanted...great video!!

[@thecraftygrrl]

Yes! Thank you!

[@pennytrupiano2689]

you can make your life much easier if you simply place markers every so many rows (10 or 20)

[@waltons-crochet]

Thank you for your tutorials. I love “how to correct my mistakes” 😂 looking forward to viewing more videos.

[@sabrinaaguilera7657]

Hi I saw this video pop up and watched it so now I’m a new subscriber to your channel after watching this video. I bought a sentro knitting machine last year and haven’t made a thing on it yet. That’s why I decided to join your channel. 😊

[@thecraftygrrl]

Thank you and welcome! There is some learning involved but once you get the hang of it, you’ll love it. What do you want to make?

[@RoamingwithRover]

Hi Sabrina, I love her too!

[@rebeccagreen2219]

Well done . This is how I create my projects . It looks great

[@thecraftygrrl]

Thank you.

[@tricialeguire6489]

I love layering too as I am always cold. I am going to try to make one fore sure. Thanks so much for sharing. I haven’t used scrap yarn for casting on and off but now I see the benefits of doing so. Will try that too. ❤

[@pennytrupiano2689]

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!

[@beckygarcia4416]

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]

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.

[@ChristineSwanson-vh3zt]

Made my first Cardigan thanks to you - many thanks and it turned out great. You're the best! :)

Omg! Yay! I’d love to see it. 😊

I just got my Sentra. I am enjoying the videos you are doing. Can't wait to get started.😊

You will have so much fun! There are so many things you can do!

[@createwithjoi5726]

Great video! Now I NEED a Knitting machine.🤩👏👌💕

[@thecraftygrrl]

There are so many cool things you can make for sure! I've made way cooler pieces after this video which was one of the first I did on the knitting machine.

[@HgHg-lc9zl]

[@zoilasantos487]

👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏😘

[@bluekitty3731]

Would you recommend blocking the knitted pieces before joining them together? Or isn't that needed with acrylic yard?

[@thecraftygrrl]

With the acrylic yarns I mostly use I don't do any blocking and it seems fine but for wools I probably would.

[@Theresa5601]

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]

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: kzbin.infoczchllsRr9Y

[@Theresa5601]

@@thecraftygrrl Thank you

[@belis_handmade_dolls]

How much yarn will I need to make 1 piece?☺️

[@thecraftygrrl]

It depends on the size you are looking for. I find the Pound of Love yarn skeins is plenty for xs-medium but really just depends on your tension and size.

[@easttxskimo]

Where did you get your mannequin?

[@ParkAvenue34]

So, we don't get to see how you made the 🔰chevrons?

[@hebulanebula]

Does your hand or arm get cramped or tired, from the cranking ?

[@thecraftygrrl]

You know, it doesn't. It's actually really soothing. The only problem is that my left arm gets neglected so sometimes I take a 3 pound weight and hold it in my left hand with my yarn to even out the workout. hahah

[@hebulanebula]

@@thecraftygrrl Ha ha good one ! Thanks for answering so promptly. I’m addicted to your videos, and may make a purchase some day soon LOL 😆

Yes, I made many hats, scarves, mittens. And a very long cardigan. And a few other cardigans. Also a queen size bedspread. All my own designs and tryouts. Not perfect. Thanks for the video. Nice cardigan. The yarn I used was very difficult. Lots of twisted stitches. 😍

If you could make a garment using a lighter color I could see what you are trying to show the black is like looking at nothing.

[@thecraftygrrl]

Totally agree…I was so excited I just used what I had. I plan on doing a better video and will be more aware of the color. 😊
