Amazon's 48 Needle "Zcvtbye" Knitting Machine Unboxing, Set Up & Review! Slouch Hat & Pom Pom Demo!

[@Taitcreates639]

When I was around 8 or nine, I got a small tube one about 2” wide, I had more fun making rope rugs for my doll house, then my older brother wanted to learn, he was 11, he loved thatching, as we got older and the years have passed by, when ever I see one of the sm ones I want to get it for him. I never knew they had these big wide, turn the handle ones. I also had a knitting Jenny that I could never figure out. The sm tube you had to crochet each piece with a hook, loop it over, turn, loop the yarn over, flip bottom piece over the top, etc. hrs of fun and great memories. That’s a pretty cool machine. Love the Pom Pom. Only you Vianney, never know what your going to do next. You have so much talent and patience. Tysm.

[@kathleenposton2334]

Finally setting it up! My sons were delighted when this arrived. Setting it up today, so now the fun starts. Thanks again!

[@VianneyCreates]

Yay! Have fun, and just go with the flow. If a particular yarn is giving you trouble...try a different one. It can take some learning and patience. (:

[@Penny-bt4gc]

I had a knitting machine as a child. I loved it. I gave it to my niece when I moved away. I should have kept it. I’m considering buying another one.

[@nadinejones9703]

Really enjoyed your tutorial on this machine… I have looked at several but I just for me don’t see the need ,, but I do really like all the demonstrations and tutorials on them ,, great job,, ❤️🌻

[@VianneyCreates]

They're fun videos to watch aren't they?! Thanks so much!

[@131dyana]

Thank you. I was afrid to start mine. Now I know it is nothing to be afraid of.

[@VianneyCreates]

It really isn't. I hope you enjoy it!! TYSM!

[@patshipp9195]

Koala Knits and Knacks does a jog less join if your interested. I found you by accident and I like what I see. Hint: Use a permanent marker on the notch before the white needle so you know when it's coming around. 💖💖👍👍💖💖

[@VianneyCreates]

TY! I did the black marker in this video, maybe you missed it. I know, I talk...a lot. LOL!!! (:

I love that you don't just do the highlights and show us the good and the oops.. I might need to try one of theses.. ❤

[@HJKelley47]

3-4 ply worsted weight yarns tend to work well with these circular knitters. Bulky yarns are problematic for these knitters.

[@amymaki2918]

Thank you for the fresh out of the box demo! Dang. I may have to look into getting one. 😂

[@VianneyCreates]

LOL! I'm really enjoying it...even with the wonky counter!

[@thomastheman7331]

For a lower priced machine, it works beautifully. I love your color and design choice. Good taste.

[@VianneyCreates]

Thank you! That is so kind. I am impressed with this machine.

[@petmomful2260]

I have one of those round machines and have not used it for awhile. I think I will get it out and use it tomorrow. Thank you.

[@VianneyCreates]

Hope you enjoy it! Have fun!!

[@michelb.8953]

Cute hat. Like the sock monkey colors. Enjoyed seeing the review of the machine and how it works.

[@VianneyCreates]

Thanks so much! My daughter loves this slouchy hat so much! (:

[@Painter931]

I have this machine for two years and love it. I have made sweaters . I used panel mode. The sweater looks amazing and doesn't look like I used a machine. I made wonderful hats. So many good stuffs inside the box. I use a heavy Velcro for the bottom of legs attached to a craft table especially for the machine. Never had a problem. I do buy soft thin yarn and never had a problem. I don't buy bulky yarn I don't want a very bulky sweater because they are too heavy for my climate I don't need all that yarn on my body. I think this machine it's better than sentro because it's more needles.

[@maryklenewski7190]

Great tutorial. Happy I found your channel.

[@VianneyCreates]

That is so kind, thank you so much!!

[@christinamillikin311]

That was very helpful, I was about to return the Loops and Threads knitting machine back to Michael's. I think I will give it another try. Thank you so much.

[@catslilcreations]

Very neat, I've never watched anyone make a hat before. This looks fun!

[@SandraNevins-c3l]

Hi. This just popped up , so I decided too watch. I'm not disappointed ( not a knitter). So cool, interesting thanks I did enjoy watching.

[@VianneyCreates]

Thanks for watching even if it’s not your thing! I have been having a lot of fun with these machines!!

[@SandraNevins-c3l]

@@VianneyCreates The 'pot holder" I tried to knit was unrecognizable. But my grand dad took a wooden spool and 4 small finishing nails. He made a knitting spool for me. I used a broken crochet hook to loop the wool. Again thanks.

[@margaretWestminster]

I loved watching you on the knitting machine and especially making the pom pom i have never seen this machine before but seems very nice. Im left handed so some of the demonstration looks backwards to me. Great job , well done in setting up this as well. Thank you. ❤️🐵🔴⚪🟡🔴

[@created2bless322]

Amazing and impressive!!! I will watch from the beginning since I joined the live late!

[@diannweier2489]

Young lady you are something else …. Love the hat and pompom … I wish I knew how to do it with the needles 😮

[@kimberlyfaure1845]

I used to have a small one more than 40 years ago. I made a super heavy blanket with my 3 inch tubes. I gave it away and have missed it ever since. How ironic that I went shopping for a new bigger knitting machine just a couple days ago. And now you have also just bought one. I am sort of an Anna Griffin and Tonic Studio girl FOR YEARS, and randomly now I want a knitting machine 😂🤣😂🤣 and then find your video. Crafters like all kinds of materials to craft with I suppose 😂🤣🙏🏻 Thank you for reminding me how the machine works. How well I remember turning that handle till I wore my arms out. 😂

[@noelleparris9451]

This is very much like a fast machine version of the Musselburgh hat (Ysolda Teague design). Very interesting.

[@VianneyCreates]

I have no idea what that means, LOL! Thanks for the info!

[@danabolick5154]

I love puzzle yarn! I made my daughter a hoodie with riddle and a call the midwife throw as well. Checkers make cool booties and Christmas stockings. Wish I’d had access to the sparkle checker though. Still I’m obsessed with puzzle yarn.

[@EJsDaughter]

Hi. Great tutorial. I take a sharpie and "color" the spaces (humps) before the white needle, so I'll know when it comes back and the row is completed. I've done this to all my machines. Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks.

[@VianneyCreates]

I already did, I think I did that in this video. If not, the next one.

[@kmatto_kmatto]

Super cute hat. The headband was great too!

[@VianneyCreates]

Thank you!! 🤗

[@MeMe-yr3or]

I like how you really go into detail on how to cast on and cast off I was doing mine at the same time you were doing yours because I just bought the same machine you bought and I just started using it and I already had to undo it because I missed some stitches and but you went and found a link to a video that you can you can repair drop stitches and I know there's a way to do it because I used to knit with needles I still have my knitting needles but I was going to figure it out but thank you for putting that video up I'm going to go to that one to see how to fix the drop stitches because I dropped quite a few but I didn't want to undo what I did because it was a lot😅 thank you so much for sharing

[@countryluvin64]

That is the same packaging, instructions and accessories as my 48 pin Sentro I just got for Christmas. Just different name on the machine and purple instead of pink color of the Sentro.

[@VianneyCreates]

I totally agree. (: Whenever I had ordered my 40 needle Sentro through Amazon...the name was different (something funky) but when it arrived it said Sentro on it. I do have the 48 needle Sentro, too..but haven't opened it yet.

[@countryluvin64]

[@traceyoconnell3944]

This was a great video and really appreciate seeing all the points that need to be watched. Other than the pin count being different, did you notice any differences between the brands of the machines?

[@michellepaperchaser]

Great idea. Sock Monkey colors. Turned out perfectly. Thanks for the complete and helpful demo.

[@karenschwalb4952]

Great !

[@beckymcdaniel6402]

Have you tried doing the WASTED YARN method? You won't loose any stitches this way.

[@VianneyCreates]

Of course! I recently released a video doing just that, I like to make my videos in a way that goes from simple to added techniques: Machine Knit Twisted Headband w/ Crocheted Heart Appliques Tutorial! Had to Make Changes to my Plan! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHiwo4mOd9OMkNE

[@kathleenposton2334]

Newcomer here! Did I hear you mention in passing that it will do flat panels? That would be a big selling point for me!

[@VianneyCreates]

Yes, I am so sorry if I glossed over that. It has a little "switch" that shows a "T" for tube and a "P" for panel. TYSM!

[@kathleenposton2334]

Okay! I'm going to have to take a chance on one! I'm slomewhat disabled and hip deep in 20+ years of accumilated yarn here My sons/caretakers would love to see me rid myself of most of it. With one of those, I could at least crank out caps and scarves for the local shelters and Children's Home. Thank you! @@VianneyCreates

[@barbaraleatherwood9831]

Enjoyed your video. Question can you make leg warmers with the 48 needle knitting machine? Thanks

[@VianneyCreates]

You can, but they will be pretty big in circumference. I suppose it depends on the calves/pant type they will go over/under. (:

Hi, Vianney!! Happy New Year! Great tutorial on how to use this loom. I’ve always wanted to try knitting but never have but this machine seems easy to use. I may have to try it.🙂 The hat is so cute! Thanks for sharing. I hope all is well with you and your family. Love and blessings.💜

[@ParkAvenue34]

Oooo...i bought one. Ordered it online ( of course). I couldn't WAIT to get it..some yarn is not compatible with this machine and i still can't figure out how to make a panel without unraveling. There only so many things to make with a tube. $50.00 sitting collecting dust

[@beckycontreras921]

I so enjoyed your video. It was so easy to follow. I am wanting to get one. I don't know what kind to get but thank you very much for sharing this video. It will definitely help me in deciding which machine to buy. Thanks again!

[@susan6942]

I have so much problems with mine I’m going to try again with it to try the tension problem and if it don’t work out the window she goes she’ll be a flying machine lol

[@stitchinwitch8344]

Another KZbinr showed a review of this machine, recently. It had the same weird name on it, although it was the pink colourway. She had been sent it to review, directly from SENTRO - apparently, it's made by the same company.

[@VianneyCreates]

So funny, after buying this months ago...I just saw a "short" from Sentro saying this is their machine. Why that weird name? So odd. LOL!!

[@nancern53]

That is sooo cute!!!

[@janiceharrison8397]

If I make hats for grandkids who's head circumference is from 18-21" as well as adults do you think I need both a 40 pin AND a 48 pin? TIA!

[@VianneyCreates]

So, I will say the 40-pin machines do really make quite a skinny tube. I have a review or two on those. I think for any size hat other than a very small toddler, it's best to use the 46 or 48 pin machines.

[@janiceharrison8397]

​@VianneyCreates thank you!

[@lucyhernandez3408]

lt came. out nice

[@VianneyCreates]

TY!

[@helenflouch]

How mych are these machines?

[@redingslone]

Which one is better to you the sentro or this one?

[@VianneyCreates]

So, they are both made by Sentro. I didn't know that when I purchased this one. They are so very similar, I don't really prefer one over the other. TYSM!

[@RoseAngella]

Turned out quite lovely. 🧡

[@lorrainejones294]

My problem is with certain yarns. Some work for me, others don't. I have watched a ton of these videos and tried the same yarns I've seen used, still a problem. I have discovered 100 % Acrylic yarn doesn't work for me, no idea why. I have tried all tensions. I have 5 machines in various sizes, same yarn issue in all.

[@Kimzworld1]

Seriously, the humidity in the winter makes a big difference on the machines..

[@VianneyCreates]

Has that been your experience? I think that may be the case! TY!

[@Kimzworld1]

Yes, I am fairly new to the circular knitting machines, maybe 4 or 5 months, I haven't made much but my house is SO dry in the winter & I can tell the difference if I keep running my humidifiers. I have heard many people even with the flat beds talk about it as well. @@VianneyCreates You are very welcome :)

[@Kimzworld1]

I guess that is not true , I made hats, mittens slippers scarves for all my grandkids for Christmas. Made my Girls wreaths and maybe some big kid lovey/pj bags and other stuffed animals.. head bands, etc. I still feel like I haven't done much though so much more to do LOL @@VianneyCreates

I can open up the package and see what is inside without my eardrum getting split in half from all the NOISE. Dang. So, you made a program on you opening up a box...OK

Using knitting machine you get two sides one is knit stitch the other is Purl.

There are two sides to the work with the inside of the tube showing the purl stitch look. You can purl if you release stitches and then catch them back in a way that is reversed...people do ribbing this way. It's not easy!
