    Heyy, just a tip: if you don't want the ends of your panels/tubes to curve, you can use scrap yarn :) there is a lot of tutorials on yt on how to do it, it's very easy and it makes it easier to know how long your products are going to be

      Používam odpadovú priadzu pri pletení na mlynčeku i pri strojovom pletení. Je to oveľa jednoduchšie ❤️

    Wow! I am so impressed with your friends ingenuity in making your sweaters! If you do what is known as “blocking” your sweater edges (or anything else) won't curl up and your shaping will stay in place!

    I love the way your rainbow sweater turned out! I like that it's cropped and I think the pattern of the colors turned out really neatly!

    I've seen people use electric drills with these knitting machines so they don't have to turn the thingy by hand. I think that would make the process go by much faster

      You can for the tube setting, just not the panel.

      I got this attachment that you just flip a switch/dial, it goes fairly well extremely quickly with minimal supervision if you have the yarn unwinded/detangled. I've used it to make 50 hats for charity and its cut the time down significantly by like 6x.

    To make the sleeves not curl u can steam it out it will be flatter and stretch longer also I have seen some tutorials where they person did a single crochet row to finish the edge too. That makes it look polished!❤

    I found a great video yesterday on how to fix dropped stitches on panels. I can't wait to try it, since I really have a hard time with panels right now.

    I don’t know if this counts for knitting because I just crochet but after doing pieces of you project you can try blocking it stops the curling of the edges and it keeps the size and shape. There’s lots of videos of how to block and why it helps on RUclips that’s where I’ve been learning 😊

    joining panels, you can just crochet one loop at the edge of one panel to the same row loop on the other, and crochet back to the second loop on the first panel etc to save adding thread, awesome trick

    I’m not sure what size loom you were using. Sentro has a 48 40 32 and 22 if you were using the 48 I would get the 40 and use that for the sleeves. I haven’t tried panels yet with any of mine but you made it look pretty easy.

  • @godsprincess6240
    @godsprincess6240 Год назад +1

    After you are finished knitting the tube, stretch it long ways, and it makes the sleeves more narrow. You will also need fewer rows to reach your desired length. I hope this helps. Btw is a very cute top ☺️

    Hey Melanie! There are some tutorials on how to add some ribbing at the beginning of the project which does look a little tedious but if you want to do some ribbing at the beginning instead of battling the curved ends there are ways to do it! Your pieces came out very cool!

    I literally got this machine less than 48 hours for my birthday and nowhere in the instructions did it say that to set it up you need to thread it through every other needle 😭 I already ordered a drill attachment and sewing machine oil for when it gets stuck. Now I just need to figure out how to actually cast off properly
