BABY CARDI--- Size 3-6 months This is for a standard gauge machine, only one size (sorry), T 6 with 7st and 10 rows to the inch. Before I started the pattern, did a hem for the body pieces. I cast on with waste yarn the specified number of stitches, knit 12 rows T 5, one turning row of T 7, 12 rows T 6. Hung a hem and knit one row at T 8. Back to T 6 and RC 000. Knit as instructed to the top and took the final st off on waste yarn. For the sleeves, I did a hem with the same tensions but only 8 rows. For the front bands I picked up one whole st with the back side facing me and did the same kind of hem with just 6 rows. Same as the front plackets for neckline at the very end after pieces were seamed. I did full fashioned decreases on all pieces to make seaming easier. Still debating whether to have a button closure at the top. The sleeves are long enough to fold over as a cuff and lower as the arms grow. PS-- DAK (where I created the pattern) names things from the perspective of the wearer, but as you sew the pieces together you'll see how the tops of the sleeves slant to create a nice neckline. By changing the tensions for the hems, I didn't have any problems with curling. Don't like to steam acrylics too much. The yarn I used was Trenzado, I think. It was a mystery yarn given out for free at a guild meeting. If you'd like to try this pattern, you could use any yarn that knits close to the gauge. The hats I did are super simple. Ewrapped on 110 stitches T 4 knit 8 rows. Increased one stitch both sides. RC 000, T 6 knit 78 rows. Tried something different for the tops which saved some time. I tranferred two stitches over two needles. (2 in work, 2 out of work) to decrease. Then knit 2 rows still T6 and took off on a threaded double eyed needle to cinch in and sew up the seam. Makes a nice top! Then I knit a 4 needle I cord for 160 rows, T4, to make a bow for the top. Hid the ends of the I cord up into the I cord. Tied the I cord into a bow, tacked it down well and hid the sewing ends on the inside. Our guild has a challenge to its members to knit as many charity items as is our age. Have done this before and it IS quite a challenge. (I'm 39, after all.) I think I'm about half ways there. Have about 8 months to go.

During WW I, the war to end all wars, families in rural Canada were given circular sock knitting machines and 10 lbs of wool (enough for 30 pairs of socks) to knit socks for the war effort. Socks were in short supply, wool was rationed and service men in the trenches in winter, needed wool ... Read More about Sock Knitting and the Great War Effort
GUYS! Do you like the look of knitting, but it hurts your hands? For all my OG crocheters out there does knitting take you FOREVER? I have a fantastic solution...get a knitting machine. It is seriously game changing, especially for anyone doing market prep! Now I know the most popular brand at the moment for knitting machines is the Addi, but it is not your only option. The Addi, with it hefty price tag, is obviously top of line, however there are way more affordable options out there that work just fine!My first venture into the world of more affordable knitting machines was one by Loops & threads. It worked perfectly except it only had 40 needles which resulted in tiny items. This is perfect for baby/children's items, but I was looking for a machine that could handle adult sized items. So I returned the Loops & threads machine and I am now using the Sentro knitting machine and I am obsessed. It has 48 needles and makes perfect adult sized items. It takes some searching online to find good resources on how to use these knitting machines and what yarns work best so in today's post I will share my experiences and tips i've learned thus far. My first stop was to Taylor Lynn's Crochet blog & YouTube channel. Taylor has some great tutorials on how to her twisted headbands and bonfire beanie's (a double layered slouchy beanie). Taylor uses the Addi machine, but these patterns work perfectly fine on my Sentro machine. I had to do some tweaking for yarns other then Caron Simply Soft (more on that to follow), but don't be discouraged if you see a pattern for the Addi, you can 100% make it on a non-addi machine. The way all these machines work are basically the same, the price tag comes down to the actual build quality of the machines. Yes the Addi is made from materials that are more sturdy and will likely last a long time, but a more affordable machine will work the exact same (it will just be plastic as opposed to metal and wont hold up as long over time). Let's start by looking at the Twisted headbands. I tried Taylor's pattern in 4 different yarns: 1)Caron Simply Soft This is what the pattern calls for and honestly, spoiler alert, is by far the best yarn to use with a knitting machine. I followed the pattern exactly except for the tension. The sentro like most knitting machines has 3 levels of tension. I find the sentro does best when on medium or high tension. For Caron Simply Soft medium tension works best. 2)Loops & Threads Impeccable This is a medium weight 4 yarn and it worked, I just had to increase the number of rows from 75 to 95. It turned out, but was not as nice as the one made with Caron Simply Soft 3)Bernat Softee baby This yarn was amazing. A close second if not tied for first place with Caron Simply Soft. It works up the exact same as Caron Simply Soft. It is a light weight 3 yarn though so I used the tightest tension, but 75 rows came out the same size as Caron Simply Soft on medium tension. 4)Lion bran Vanna's Choice This is another medium weight 4 yarn. It was softer then the Loops & Threads Impeccable, but not my favorite. Like the Loops & Threads Impeccable it needed an extra 20 rows to fit comfortably. Conclusion: #1 Caron simply soft with medium tension followed closely by Bernat Baby softee on the tightest tension. Coming in third place is Vanna's choice, with (sorry) Loops & Threads Impeccable last. Moving on to the bonfire beanie pattern: 1)Caron simply soft Again worked absolutely perfectly on medium tension. 2)Lion Brand Scarfie Yarn Worked way BETTER then I anticipated! This yarn is a bit fluffy so it needed to be on the loosest tension, but it worked up so well. I kept the row count the same (110) and was a perfect fit. The color changes in this yarn are beautiful and I was so pleased with the result. I didn't love crocheting with this yarn where it is kind of fluffy so I was so happy to have a use for it. 3)Red Heart super saver I had a bunch of random medium weight 4 yarn laying around and figured I'd try it. It worked but like the Loops & Threads Impeccable it was a tad stiff. What I did for this hat though was I switched yarn colors at the half way mark (Row 55) making it a reversible beanie!!! I love this and plan to make some more reversible beanies (just with better yarn lol) 4)Loops & Threads Shabby Boho Again like Loops & Threads Impeccable it was a bit rough for my tastes, but it worked fine. Sizing was fine on medium tension, just did't have a nice slouch to it. 5)Bernat Baby Softee Like with the twisted headband it worked fantastically. It is soft and has a perfect amount of slouch. Conclusion: Top yarns again were Caron Simply Soft, Bernat Baby Softee & Lion Brand Scarfie yarn. So what did I take from my little experiment... Well one knitting machines cut down on your knitting time drastically lol. A twisted headband now takes me like 25 minutes total. I LOVE the look of knit wear, but it hurts my hands to much so I am very happy to have a way to enjoy "knitting" without the pain. The best yarns were clearly Caron Simply Soft and Bernat Softee Baby. This however is based on personal preference. All the yarns I tried so far worked, they just had different textures and held their shape differently. I prefer the nice soft drape of the Caron Simply Soft and Bernat Softee Baby. I have not yet ventured into the realm of flat panel knitting, but plan on writing another post about it when I do. I think knitting machines are a great tool, especially for anyone planning on doing markets. If you can afford or want to spend the money on an Addi go for it, but if you can't don't fear there are options out there for you to enjoy. I personally LOVE my sentro and I am so happy with it.Whatever machine you choose just make sure it has a row counter. The first machine I got (the Loops & Threads one) did not and I didn't even think about being something important until I started in aha. I hope this was helpful to anyone who has been wondering about knitting machines. My suggestions for other online knitting machine resources are: Taylor Lynn's Crochet Blog Taylor Lynn's Youtube Channel Yay for yarn Youtube Channel (she has so many tutorials!!!)
