I did it! I cast on, twice and got the machine going. Then it got tangled and stopped and I got it going again but dropped stitches. The tension is beautiful and I’m pleased with what I learned and what I remembered from reading. Repetition is my friend some days. Happy knitting everyone. 🧶🎉🧡

Just finished this set tonight. I’m still not a fan of hand stitching 😂 never have been but the finished project is always so pretty.

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Kari! I love crocheting and all things crafty! 🧶🎨 I just got my first Sentro 48-needle knitting machine and can't wait to start creating! Excited to learn, get inspired, and try something new! 💕

When I got home from work this afternoon my knitting machine and ichord maker were waiting for me outside the door. I have gotten as far as unpacking and setting up the CKM and I turned it on to see the front panel light up. I’m impressed with the quality of the machine and its alien vibe suits somehow. Still lots to learn and do for the first time. I’m excited to learn. The ichord maker will wait until I have the knitting machine going. It’s too late in the day to continue.
