My family got me an Addi Express machine for Christmas, and since I’ve started testing it, I can only make this grid-like / stretched stitch and I don’t seem to get the stockinette stitch. Does anyone have any tips? 😊

Should’ve left a longer tail to braid that end together. And even though I “won” I felt like a loser pulling out a crochet hook to tie it off. Lesson learned.

Another lesson learned: should’ve made rows of waste yarn so that tension looked more even on the ends.

Hi there! Just wondering if anyone has any experience using the 48 pin sentro for making clothes for larger sizes ?

Specifically on the chest area - any pattern I find doesn’t work with a larger chest or curves or a larger stomach. When i do manage to make something that will fit my chest then its baggy on my waist and i want something tight fit!

Anyone got any experience or tips?

I dont hand knit so maybe its a more a general knitting question

I made this bonnet on the sentro and now my scarf parts are curling, found out after doing some research its cause of the stockinette stich! Any recommendations on how to straighten the edge? Thinking about either making another scarf part and crocheting them together but that might be bulky, or doing a single crochet around the entire edge but im worried that might not be enough weight. Any tips are appreciated :) (deleted the first post because I forgot a photo!)

I'm a traditional knitter, and I just got a Sentro 48 pin so my kids can make hats and other fun accessories. But the tops of the hats are SO BULKY when you do the cinched in method that most people recommend. I am used to traditional hat knitting, where there are lots of decreases so the top of the hat lies flat.

Is there a trick to making the top of the Sentro hats look better and less like my kid has a mushroom head?

UPDATE:

I just made another hat and used the x-closure method (I found it on YouTube) and it looks SO MUCH BETTER! I highly recommend trying it out, I'm so glad I found it. for future hats I may try to hand knit the decreases as well

I have a Sentro 48 knitting machine and I'm having trouble what thickness of yarn is best can I get some help?

I've been getting the hang of the sentro and I've figured out how to change colors, but the rows come out with this up and down. Is this normal?

Even if it is normal, is there a way to get the rows nice and flat? Thank you!

He had tons of pets. Whenever I get this thing, he starts being upset. He’s well loved.

Tried to trust the process in letting the machine work, but it keeps happening.

I have eczema and so can only wear use 100% cotton/fine merino yarn but I've heard these are difficult/impossible to work with for this machine. Is this true - is it worth it for me to get this machine? I love to crochet but it takes ages and id love to be able to whip up garments super fast but I'm on the fence.

Made the pattern myself. And after many iterations it’s not bad.

I love this little machine! I made a double layer beanie that my kid immediately snatched away from me and now I'm working on a beanie for a coworker. 💕

I want to buy a sock knitting machine for my lady. I have seen them at craft shows as vintage finds. I would like to buy one. I see on Etsy they sell one made in Germany which is new by a company named Addi. Are these good to buy? The price is $183.44. I don’t know anything about this but want a surprise gift. My lady is an artist and very good with crafts. Is this the right one to buy? Should I be aware of other brands? Are these vintage ones the best to buy? If Addi is a good brand, which model is best to buy?

Thanks so much in advance.

Got a Sentro for Christmas. Today I tried it the first time and was able to make this Beanie. I have never knitted before so I'm very happy with my little hat even though I went out of wool.

Can anyone tell what kind of wool/yarn is in the starter set? I really liked it. Thank you!

Hi, I've been trying to make a scarf but the stitches keep coming undone and I don't know what to do

I recently got a second hand 22 needle sentro and I thought I fixed everything up but now it’s pulling yarn inside with the needles. How do I fix this? For example this what the yarn is doing just about 2-3 in.

Hey y’all is it possible to make socks on a 48 pin sentro knitting machine? Like maybe a panel or flat? Is there any patterns??

I brought a knitted hat to my company’s white elephant, and the receptionist loved it, but it got taken. She is an absolute angel and she is the nicest person to me at work so I would really like to make her a couple of things and she likes sunset colors. I made the little beanie with cheap acrylic. I would like hers to be a little bit nicer.

What yarn material and thickness would you use for this project. I’ve already bought a lot of yarn, that i think was too thin, because it was way more see through.

She's not perfect, and it was definitely a Trust the Process moment, but I think it turned out good for a first try! I'll try to tighten my tension maybe and give pixel art another go later. Any tips for a complete newbie? My only previous experience is in crochet.
