Three Cast Offs All Look Hand Knit! by Diana Sullivan

[@mfbergable]

Wow I have never seen that extra step of moving the edge needs on the transfer tool bind off! It looks SOOO much better.

[@dianaknits]

So glad you like that technique. I love getting these little details to look as good as I can!

[@deehazell2067]

Diana, I often find machine knitting very frustrating as I am very much a beginner. Your videos explain everything so well. There is also something very calming and magical about your voice. It helps sooth my rattled self and enables me to approach my knitting machine with a more balanced and rational mind :) Thank you

[@vuivefrog]

I’m new to machine knitting. Thank you so much for your generosity and clearly instructions videos. 🙏 🥰

[@janalevit7828]

Amazingly helpful, thank you for this and all your other videos Diana ☺️

"Hand knitters don't have such an ugly bindoff." I loved this quote! It's true. Thank you for all your videos!

[@sistermaide]

Love your videos! I'm trying to improve my items, and you have been very educational! Loving your instructions. Thanks for all you go through to make these so short, but informative!

Thank you! I'm a beginner and find it very difficult getting good round neck shaping. Can you please help 😊

[@dianaknits]

I have been working on a neckline course. I'll be teaching some of it to the San Diego club in January. If you email me from the link at my blog, I can send you some information.

[@Cobracobalt]

[@moniquerabier71]

Merci !!! very useful :-))

[@dianaknits]

This machine is a Brother 270.

[@waltons-crochet]

Do you ever use ravel cord to separate main knitting from waste yarn?

[@dianaknits]

Yes, I use it quite often. I keep two cones of slick, strong rayon in pink and gray that I use and two pools if Artiste nylon thread that I use (green and white). The waste yarn for that last row doesn't work if it's bumpy, hairy or kinky and won't pull out, and there are also situations where I like the strong color contract and thin texture of the ravel cord.

[@waltons-crochet]

@@dianaknits thank you so much. Can I get it through Walmart or Amazon? I used it when I had a full-size knitting machine years ago. And I see so many struggling now with the circular machine when they have to remove the waste yarn on one end. I’m almost 79 don’t need any more struggles🤣🤣 Your videos are the great and are the easiest and most thorough instructional videos I’ve seen. I have them “saved” for future reference as well. The Sentro machine will be here tomorrow and I am so ready to try my hand at it. Looking forward to seeing your next video.. thanks again Diana. PS I sure hope I can use the Ravel cord with the circular machine.

[@dianaknits]

@@waltons-crochet Hobby Lobby carries Artiste Nylon crochet thread. It's great for this! It comes in lots of colors, so you can choose a color that contrasts with most of your yarn (I like lime green for contrast). It is so cheap per yard you can cut it and waste some if you have to.

[@waltons-crochet]

@@dianaknits thank you for that advice. I will check it out for sure. Still wishing you had circular machine tutorials 🙃 you have such a wonderful knack of teaching!!

[@nargespiri4561]

good

[@sabinamauri7423]

I was following perfectly until you started to crochet with the left, then my brain collapsed😂 jokes aside, this is so useful as I feel I learned by now but binding off is what I am struggling the most with

[@dianaknits]

You proably noticed, I am QUITE left-handed! You can do almost everything from either side on a knitting machine, thank goodness.

[@seemachugh7251]

Hello,, can you translate your videos in Hindi for me?

[@dianaknits]

Not at this time. If I had a person volunteer to do it, that would be great. The problem is always the knitting jargon being so different in different language.

[@lindsiloflin2768]

Very helpful to see a different bind off method. However, when you demonstrated the traditional machine bind off, you purposely messed up your tension to make the loops too big and to make it look worse. I don’t understand why. It was weirdly unnecessary and deceitful.

[@dianaknits]

I certainly didn't mean to do that. You do need a somewhat loose tension on the knit-back or else it will shrink up, and I may habitually overdo that to avoid a too-tight edge.
