T for tube, P for panel. Another TH-camr (I forget who) took her Sentro apart and showed that when it’s in panel mode, the switch just physically blocks a nub on the inner ring and keeps it from rotating past that point. It doesn’t make the machine suddenly able to knit panels, it just prevents you from accidentally knitting the edges of the panel together. You can make panels in tube mode but can’t make tubes in panel mode
this is my favorite "i spent 24hrs [crafting]" video! you went in depth about your thought process, the mistakes and how you handled them, and the techniques you wanted to work on, rather than just show some timelapse footage and the end results. i feel like I learned a lot about knit construction and I wasn't expecting that at all!
I knit over 100 sweaters for charity on my Bond knitting machine. I got bored with plain colors or stripes so I bought a vintage 12 punch card Singer and now decorate the neck areas with snowflakes, bunnies, hearts or whales. I punch my own cards. ❄ 🐇 ❤ 🐳😊👍
I think it's not comparable... addis and sentros are toys and flatbed machines are to produce seriously. If you are a professional knitter like I am, you definitely need more flexibility, more needles on the bed, the possibility of a double bed etc... BUT if anybody is happy with such a plastic toy - wonderful and nothing to complain about. Lots of love from Germany!
I totally agree with you. ❤ I am a hand knitter but I own a sentro and have also owned a proper silver knitting machine but I ended up selling it as it creates thin knitted material. I only use the sentro for hats as I do not enjoy making clothes with it as it is honestly more like a toy😂. Nothing beats hand knitting ❤
I do use the Sentro successfully with worsted weight yarns to make charity hats and blankets… but with a motor attachment I bought on Etsy. Works great, and if I use the yarns my machine “likes” it doesn’t tuck nor drop stitches. It’s def not the same as flat bed machine knitting, but can be useful in ways my flat bed machines aren’t.
I am seeing people who open up their plastic circular knitters and clean and lubricate the "needles" with Armorall or white lithium grease. It makes them run and knit much easier.
Gosh you have more patience than me, well done for persevering and actually making a wearable sweater. Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly test it and to share the results. I’m sticking to my flatbed
when casting on you don't need to worry about those in between pegs. Just under one hook then around the other. I'm still toward the beginning of the video so I'll probably have more insight. It's definitely different than the flat bed. I've made sweaters on both.
I started with an Addi 46 2 years ago and have made dozens of charity hats that are big enough for a mans head. The normal knitting variables apply such as type of yarn and tension but it can be done. It remains my go to machine for double knit hats and scarfs but am trying to learn my LK150 and hope to be proficient before I retire. I LOVE the flexibility of the LK150 and am looking forward to making some beautiful items. I'm not fond of my Sentro. Love your videos, they are extremely helpful and thank you for sharing!
I love my LK150. I have two other machines with ribbers and punch cards but I haven't learned either of those yet because there's so much I can do with the LK150. In addition to this channel (a fabulous resource and the inspiration for me buying an LK150 in the first place), there are several other YT channels that feature LK150 tutorials. I also recommend joining an online (or if you're lucky, local) group to take advantage of the knowledge of all the experienced machine knitters out there.
I'd love to see what you would do with a proper circular knitting machine, like an Erlbacher, or even one of the 3d printed ones with "real" CSM needles.
I have a bond and a sentro 48. No issues with either machine. I have carpal tunnel so doing crochet (which i love) and knitting by hand (which I tolerate😅) makes my hands and wrists hurt. I enjoy machine knitting and the sentro did have a bit of a learning curve. Casting on frustrated me until I saw a video on how to do it. Certain yarns are terrible on sentro which causes the yarn to drop so i have to pick it uo. Doing intarsia is challenging on a sentro but fun😂 yet its much easier on a flatbed. I would love to get a punch card and 4.5mm needle flatbed soon
I agree 100%. I bought myself a flatbed and bought my kids a sentro. They got soooo frustrated so I tried it out to see what the problem was - it's just just crap. Total waste of money. I've started teaching them knitting with regular needles now.
I have to say that I agree that the first video had some user errors that affected the outcome. But having said that, I still don't like this knitting machine and it has a rather permanent place on the shelf as a novelty dust collector. I think it is good for quick projects like hats and cowls, but only if you're not interested in having any style or specialty stitch work. I have seen stripes and fair isle work using it, but who the heck wants to fuss over that?!? I'd rather knit the old fashion way for those kinds of stitches. My biggest complaint about this Sentro is that it only works WELL with DK/#3 yarn or #4 yarn that is thin enough to be considered #3. It drops stitches and then you have to catch them before it becomes an unraveling event. While I did buy the hand drill attachment for speed knitting, I can't really use it because of the dropped stitches. I would miss them and end up unraveling my work after taking it off the machine. One of the things that helps is to add a weight to the initial loading strand to help it pull the work down. The stitches come out a lot nicer, but again, just another step I have to take to get a better outcome. It's not the load and speed job that I was hoping for. And, to get nice fabric, you have to double layer the work. So I have to knit much more length than I really want to fold it over for a double layer. Its a waste of yarn when a different stitch could give me the bulk I really want.
I am a hand knitter but I own a sentro and have also owned a proper FLAT silver knitting machine but I ended up selling it as it creates thin knitted material. I only use the sentro for hats as I do not enjoy making clothes with it as it is honestly more like a toy😂. Nothing beats hand knitting ❤
I pull the work down from underneath and it prevents it, I watched a lot of videos for tips and I don't have issues. I also learned how to fix tucked and dropped stitches. It's a machine that if you learn the mechanics it's easier.
Have you tried the flexi looms from Knittingboard? I have 3 of the sizes. I was able to make hats with decreased crowns instead of drawstring crowns. I like that the sets can be added to and I can do round and square configurations.
I wish Ravelry would differentiate flatbed machine from Sentro/Addi machine from sock machine knitting patterns. They are all lumped under "machine knitting" and it makes it hard to find anything.
Ok finally finished the video. I would so be interested in a round neck yoke on a single bed knitting machine. There are so many fairisle patterns I am dying to try but they are made for hand knitting and I don't think I have the mental capacity to try and figure out how to do that on either of my flat beds. One day I'll get a ribber but that day is nowhere soon.
I bought the sentry. After trying it on and off for 2 months it has sat on the shelf for 2 years. Brought it out the other day and after an hour remembered why it is on the shelf. Looking for a used flatbed.. suggestions? I have found a used singer 155 or a 360.
I am a machine knitter for 1 year now and I would say try a used Brother KX 350 or a Silver Reed LK 150. They are relatively easy to use, the used wool isn't too thick and you can learn all the basics of how to use a knitting machine. Once you are experienced you can try other machines with double beds and so on. It makes much more fun, if you start with a medium gauge machine than a standard gauge (I have a few different machines). And those two are really good knitting machines. Happy knitting from Germany ❤
I have one and had no problems learning how to use it. I feel it's not for serious knitters like yourself but more for people like me who like cranking out hats, scarves etc. Not a fair review
First.. where can I find your membership links??? I don’t like metal bed machines but I adore my lk100 and 150! So Would I still get something out of a membership? I will say the sentro and Addi can’t even compare to my flat bed machines on ease of use! However the Addi knits a thousand times better than a sentro. And I enjoy using it for quick hats .. but nothing else. Trying to make panels on one is just hideous compared to a flat bed! And anything that requires me to manipulate stitches on the Addi? No thank you! But I really love hand manipulating stitches on my flat beds! Loads of rewarding fun!
I really enjoyed this video because I will never buy one of those. Now the problems of this type of machine are recorded for everyone! Even though it is a hobby you still want to be efficient and allow for creativity which the round plastic machines don’t allow for. THANK YOU!
I have a sentro and just watching the beginning of the video so far it’s highlighted what happens when you don’t use the machine properly. Like not using the tensioner because you don’t believe it does anything. And not using weights to ensure the stitches form properly. And not holding the end of the yarn when beginning to knit to also ensure the stitches form properly. If you knitted on your 150 with as little attention to following the directions on how to knit on it as you’ve done on the sentro you’d have the same issues with malformed and dropped stitches on it as you do on the sentro.
Sorry but you are very wrong. I do not like these machines so I only use it for hats.. Maybe you are doing something incorrect. I have a big head and they fit everyone perfectly😂😂❤
I purchased an Addi last year, as the reviews all appeared to show it was superior to the sentro - geez, it was not. It was entirely made of plastic, and after only 2 weeks the gears would grind and skip - I tried everything to fix it. But in the end nothing solved it, so I sent it back for a refund. I would not advise anyone serious about machine knitting to buy either an Addi or a Sentro. For what it is, the Addi is a piece of plastic junk too, just extremely over-priced. If I ever do go for a a CSM again it will be one of the proper metal ones.
My husband is 3d printing a circular sock machine - from the videos, it will probably be loud, but it's following the same design as the old metal ones, so hopefully it works well!
If you want to test drive a csm, I successfully printed and used a Jeeping Johnny V2 from printables to make socks. I think all in, with filament and needles etc I probably put about $250 into it? I haven’t gotten the ribber to work yet, but that experience and this channel convinced me to pick up a new in box silver reed 280 with the ribber. I’ve only made a scarf so far on that one.
I kind of feel like you gotta learn how to use things before you make such harsh judgement. They really aren't that bad. I kind of think that you need to look into how to use things, I'm sure you'd have the same experience trying to use a flat bed machine if you don't watch tutorials and/or read instructions if they are available. A lot of the issues your having are user error. And its OK if something isn't for you, but it didn't even seem as if you watched one video on casting on or flat panels before you jumped in so confidently. Its not a flat bed, but you can still do loads of things with these little machines. So many other channels have such better experiences. You have koala knits and knacks, yay for yarn, Emily Smit, alt knot, and creative yarn by fabi. Its def not a flat bed knitting machine by any means but they are great for what they are. I hope you maybe take the time to learn to use these little beauties in the future before making such harsh judgements. And I hope others don't just throw out this idea so quickly.
I don’t know how to say it without offending you, but it is not the machine, it’s you. The stitches are falling off because the tension is not right. The tensioner has three holes, each one has a different diameter because that changes the stitch size, the smaller would apply tighter tension, so the stitches will be smaller. You also can hang weights from the fabric to prevent tuck or dropped stitches. The first rounds should be cranked slowly. You caN fix the dropped stitches before the corresponding needle gets in front of the yarn guide. Many tips from the flat bed knitting machines can be used for these circular knitting machines.
I prefer knitting by hand because I don't like fussing with hardware (I prefer abstractions and software!). However, I was given a brand new Hague linker when a friend's mother went into care, so I decided to get an Addi 46 just to experiment with things like linking flat panels to make blankets. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I will post when I do. I'm hoping to at least be able to churn out hats and scarves for charity.
Linkers are generally designed for a specific gauge and I'm pretty sure the Hague are for standard gauge (4.5 mm) so it may not work well with loose knits.
For hats you don't need waste yarn if it's going to be gathered. Faster to pick it off stitch by stitch. It's quick, takes a few minutes. If you watch videos by people who aro familiar with the machine it will be easier. Roll the work, add weights, pull it down as you crank.
If you want to see a modification of the Addi have a look at this - th-cam.com/video/chP1dZfkgiE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uBKvcl69bjV74mAf Martin has engineered a 3D computerised yarn feeder so it does fairisle patterns. A feat of engineering.
I have both of the addi machines and they are useful for making my grandkids stuffed animals.... lol otherwise I use my lk150 my dream is a standard machine with a ribber. Who knows maybe someday.
Watching an expert try to use this makes it clear that the learning curve on these things is completely flat. Yes, you can start machine knitting on it within five minutes of getting it out of the box, which is its appeal. But after you know how to cast on and turn the crank, there isn't much more to learn, there are scant opportunities to innovate, and almost nothing you can do to improve the quality of the finished product. I've watched a lot of these sentro videos out of curiosity, and the stitches always look saggy and irregular. If the best quality you can crank out of it is even worse than fast fashion, why bother?
😂😂😂😂 I love your comment too much. Hence why I only ever use it for hats because in reality the stitches look terrible compared to my hand knitted work where they look beautiful. ❤
Save your money and buy a LK150. Plus don't buy this cheap plastic gadget for kids who may have a desire to actually learn to knit, it will just discourage them from going any further.

Something a lot of sentro/addi youtubers don't admit, is that all the hats made on these machines will only fit children or adults with a small head.
Not to be that person but that's false to a degree. I have an Addi & have made several hats that fit me just fine, & my head circumference is 24".

@@KnitFactoryImpl I second that. And I've tried an Addi.
These machines are for different purposes. Becoming more knowledgeable before making negative comments would be better for your channel.

why bother using a machine, just learn how to knit
