Review on Knitting Machine Needles Arranging Weaving by Morgan Gilmore

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Happy with the purchase.

Judging by the price, photo and description I thought I was getting an unnamed fake but this is a real, pink Centro. I was surprised and pleased because the Sentro prices are much higher and some reviewers of these ads still complain that they received a fake. So far this works quite well. You have to be careful not to skip stitches, which can be annoying. Practice, patience and the ability to learn from mistakes are important. Some threads work better than others. In my experience, softer yarns work better than coarser yarns, which are likely to cause more drag through the guide and hooks. (Most of my yarn collection is Red Heart worsted yarn, which to be honest is pretty spiky.) This comes with the machine is very pretty and works great. The yarn labels don't list fiber content or care instructions, but it's very soft, like butter, and I've made two wonderful hats. The suction cups are difficult to attach so it's best to do this before attaching the legs to the machine, although the instructions say this should be done afterwards. I was afraid the force you press them with might break the plastic where the legs are bolted on, so put them on first.
