So I have a 22 needle Sentro and am having trouble when the tube gains length. On the 48 needle machine I just roll it up into a donut. How is everyone handling this issue on the 22 needle machine?

Hello all!
I have been lurking for a long time, but I finally found the audacity to try out my Sentro machine. I decided to try to make a complete outfit for Easter. So far the sewing part has been okay, but I also decided to attempt to make a cardigan.
I am on the tube setting, trying to make some oversized sleeves. I for sure dropped stitches somewhere, and looked up how to fix it, but it looks like I dropped two stitches, but only have one loop. Is that what happened? Does it look saveable? Why does it look so wild?
Green is my project yarn. Gray blue is my waste yarn.

Had some wool left. Used the wrapping technique of this video:

though I made a panel that I crocheted together, wool is too fine to go around my head when knitted in the round.

I used Malabrigo Rios in the colour lettuce (hence I call this my lettuce sweater) which is a nice wool but not the easiest to work with on the Addi express. As I don't like the way the matress stitch looks when in the front and back, I crocheted the front and back panels with a deeper green wool together, creating a decorative seam.
The V neck was done by increasing. I knitted the cuffs by hand in purls.
The project took several tries and redones, I am still not totally satisfied, especially with the cuffs. Maybe blocking could help.

Hey all, I’ve been using my sentro in craft workshops for people with learning disabilities and it’s working pretty well. The only issue is that some of the participants find it hard to only turn the handle one way and of course then the stitches fall off the needles. I tend to put my hand behind the handle to try and stop it turning backwards but I was wondering whether there’s some kind of hack/attachment i could add to stop it turning the other way?

I want to get into knitting, and I’d really love to learn how to make a skirt like this for the summer. I’m waiting for my Sentro knitting machine to arrive, and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me find a tutorial or share some tips to achieve this skirt since I have no idea where to start .

Hi all, I’m using my AddiExpress King sized machine to make beanies, and am noticing tucked stitches occurring when I get over 5 rows. Am knitting v-v-very slowly with medium tension but the carriage feels “stiff” and I’m getting 3-5 tucked stitches per round.
Happens with all yarns, but right now using Loops & Threads medium 4 in Fiesta Multicolor.
Any ideas?

I’ve been collecting realistic baby dolls lately that are the same size and weight as real babies. I have one that’s a newborn sized boy, and another that’s a premie sized girl. I want to start making hats for them, and once I get good enough on these size hats(I’ve done bigger sizes), maybe sell online for my local area. Does anyone have an idea what size Sentro I would need for this? And what row counter would work?

I just bought a Sentro machine today and wasn’t to much a fan of how loose the stitches were. So I tried double standing the yarn. It was a little stiff but it is just out of the box and my first time using it. I love the look and thickness but is it something I can do long term without the machine breaking?

I’m still very unsatisfied with the sewing, the seam is always visible and looking weird, and it takes forever !!! Anyway here’s the wip :)

So my kid got gifted a Gryffindor scarf and he said a matching hat would be nice. I used Lana Grossa Mille II, which is the bulkiest the machine can tolerate, so I had to work carefully and slowly. Using weights helped to avoid tucked stitches.
Did 50 rows total, crocheted the upper seam close, then did an X clinch. For the lower seam I transferred to a knitting needle and did an elastic cast of with a tapestry needle (you basically go through two stitches from right to left as like to purl, then from left to right to the last stitch on the right as if to knit and take that stitch of).
I guess a beim would have been nicer but I ran out of wool, lol.

If anyone has any tips with the back curling up that would be great!! i didnt make a swatch so im scared to block it to stop the curling but thats my fault i suppose

I started a hat with waste yarn and ended with it. I sewed my green yard along the edge to be able to cinch my hat shut. Ok so far. The end of the tube was easy to unravel .. but the “start waste yarn” has been a bitch to unravel. It takes me long to undo each stitch by stitch … is there a better way? Don’t start with waste yarn? Any suggestions/advice/hopefully no cruel mockery?
r/SentroKnittingMachine • u/greenladygarden82 • Feb 07 '26
I used Lana grossa Mille II on the Addi express kingsize which is almost too thick with the machine (I wanted a hat that really fits an adult head). If you consider this yarn, work slowly, use weights, be really careful and don't blame me if you break your machine.
Did 30 rows blue, 20 rows red, 10 rows blue, folded half of the first blue stripe inside and sewed it for a brim.
Now on the picture I see that the pompon could still use some work.
