Well I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!!! Thank you!! I am a 76 year old hand knitter that treated myself to this wonderful machine. I enjoy designing things mainly for the homeless and missions. I ham a widow and would rather make something for the needy than waste time on TV. I stumbled across your post and now you are stuck with me. I am hooked!! I have crochet, knitted, made bobbin lace and other forms of lace making and embroidery for over 70 years and have found a new technique. I will be watching your videos to learn more!! Thank you, thank you! 21:27

Hi! Could you possibly tell me how you persevered through the dropped stitches? Did you learn how to fix them, or figure out how to not have that problem? My daughter and I can't stop them from happening. I'm so glad for this video, but surprised with how she doesn't ever have to deal with them.

The pamphlet that comes with the machine is so horrid. I could not understand it but this video wakes me up! And your cast off is genius. When I try to use the message in the pamphlet I lost all my stitches and had to pick them up with knitting needles and it was a complete mess so thank you so much! I was going to return this and now I think I’ll keep it!

using a yarn that is a completely different colour then the machine would have made the stitches so much easier to see. (Pink On pink in this case makes it harder to differentiate the stitches).

I have been making beanies for the homeless using a circular hoop by hand and he thought this would go a lot faster. Well I have now made my first beanie and am surprised as how quickly I have one finished and I do love the softness of the finished beanie too! I was having trouble casting off but your video explained it so I have it now down pat. My goal is to have 100 beanies done by Christmas to donate and now with this machine I have no doubt that I will reach my goal. Thank you so much. Hugs and blessings to you.

Ok so here is the thing. I read tons of reviews regarding the various knitting machines and to be frank I was scared to purchase one. I came across your videos on youtube to complete my reviews and some others. I decided to purchase the Sentro because I did not want to spend a lot of money for something I would end up hating. I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so pleased with my Sentro. I spent a whole day reviewing tips and tricks and fixes. I also spent that day making mistakes and learning to correct them. Now have knitted 8 hats and 4 scarves. Christmas is complete. The more I watch your videos the more I learn. Keep up the good work.

Why does the yarn drop.? I’m following your tutorial I’ve used the yarn it came with it used up a lot of yarn before it actually picked up. Then I tried a yuyo yarn which is a lil less thick it did the same thing I cast on individually for 3-4 rows and it just keeps dropping halfway. Please help
