Definitely preventing pain is the biggest advantage! Gosh, I've tried so many times but I can't even hand sew a hem without injuring myself, but operating a machine is no problem. It is just the right amount of automation to make it still feel like you are making something "by hand" but without the problems that come with it 😄
Great video, I absolutely love your tutorials also. I recently got an Addi after my sentro kept breaking. Honestly the difference is like night and day and I feel that I can use so many different yarns compared to the sentro and the stitch counter works for the panel setting! However I'll always have a soft spot for the sentro as it got me into circular knitting!
I have been debating purchasing one for a while now. I have crocheted and knit for several years but I have developed severe arthritis in my hands. I am concerned about the quality of the machine. I can’t afford an Aldi. Thank you for this video. It has definitely eased my worries regarding the quality. I’m sure I will take the plunge because I just can’t give up knitting. ❤
Thanks for the info. I'm a pretty experienced hand knitter, but would like the speed of a knitting machine. However, the lack of versatility would probably keep me from actually purchasing one. As for patterns, I'd recommend using your imagination and maybe learning to "steek" (that means preparing your knitted fabric before cutting it - sounds scary, but totally worth learning. I think you'll find that learning the steeking technique will open up a world of options to you. Of course, you're still limited by gauge. But, I create most of my own designs - usually with trial and error - and adding steeking will allow you more options.
I've dont have the time to learn and to knit, since i also like to do crochet, and i get a lot of wrist and hand pain, i really liked your video and your explanation, it clarified a lot of thing to me, and i may get a sentro, but its very expensive for me unfortunately
Thank you Quinn! I've got one after your videos 😀 but i was so disappointed after first trials 😭 i almost sold it on Facebook marketplace.... But i just gave it one more chance after some time... And it works! Great! After some russian tutorials I've tried EYE LASHES YARN !!!!! Now i have few panels and its gona be a nice cardigan)))) its impossible to pick up stitches if I'm losing it but result makes me happy ✌️ You're definitely have to try it also 💞

I feel exactly the same!

That’s so great! From everything I’ve heard, the Addi definitely seems worth the money!
Picked up one of these at a thriftstore for $3.99. Seemed like a cheap toy but I thought was worth risking $4. Can't wait to try it out.

I’m so glad you got it working!! And thanks for the tip, I always love hearing about new yarn to try on the sentro 🤗
Would you use an attachment ???
Bought one an hour ago.
Tried hand knitting several times, cant.
I started hand crocheting and now im considering a machine. I got pretty fast at crochet. I want to be faster. Lol
I wish you would write a book. Not many are.
