Finished this the other night, brim ended up bring a tad big, but still works
Here is a yoga sock pattern I want to work on but need to find a Crochet to Knitting glossary conversion table to figure it out properly.
Only the blue one really has a use, the other two are just cute
Small projects only, as I am working on a blanket. But I need a small project to do on the side
I can't get my head round a pattern. It's probably obvious, but not to me.
It's over 18 stitches.
[K2tog] x3, [yo, k1] x6, [k2tog] x3.
The issue I have is HOW to do this, not what it means. Do I k2tog and leave an empty peg? Do I k2tog and shuffle stitches?
Can someone PLEASE give me an idiots guide.
I would like to buy a loom to make a blanket, but I prefer the large gauge pegs and the yarn I always use is between a 4 and 6 in size. I've seen options between an Afghan or a rectangle loom but im not understanding what the difference is or what you would suggest?
I got it on Sunday. It's not my first loom so I'm not new to the concept at this point, but casting on, especially on the points where the curves get really close together, makes me want to chuck this thing out the window. I was so excited to finally buy one, too, and I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually, but right now I'm so mad at it.
Does anyone have any tips for making working on it any easier? I'm doing just fine on my other looms, so I really think it's just the shape of this one that's throwing me off, but any help is appreciated.
Finally decided on pattern, it will measure out just around 65-70 inches wide so only doing a single throw blanket! Colours will be green, beige/cream and a green and cream ombre for the center of the blanket. I'm going to be doing a simple hurdle stitch with garter border as I think that will show off nicely with this yarn.
It fits perfectly, and the chenille yarn is like thread and doesn't stretch or shrink so it will stay this size.
I used chenille yarn that I had from a previous project. Was pretty annoying to work with, but I'm glad I found used for it!
I wanted to try these before I try some bigger socks! Gonna give as a baby gift this year. I’m gonna make 2 more but I love them! Heel was confusing but I got it down on the second sock. I used ice cream variegated yarn so they won’t match but at least they’ll be unique 💕😂 pattern by loomahat.. also took less than an hour per sock which is a bonus!
WHAT DO I DO NOW? My roommate suggested I just play with it, which I will.
What did all of you loom knitters do? I’m just struggling with the whole loop it in the thing and the hook and doing it too tight and I feel like I have to be perfect and im angry and trying not to be but I don’t want to fail after getting the equipment 😢 I want to make stuff for ME and stuff. I got yarns to do washcloths or coasters or whatever.
What did you all do when you when you started? The videos aren’t helping me, I wish I had someone to sit with me and do this with me even though I am 31 years old…. I just learn differently you guys
Its so ugly i took it off my loom.. Maybe a softer yarn with more stretch ...
So, since my body won't allow me to sleep (been up sine 1 am, it's 5 am now) I'm starting my hat, debating starting something on the flexee loom. Maybe something like a stuffy with that plush yarn I still have from my last disaster....
Hi. I’m wanting to begin loom knitting but I have no idea what to buy. I would love to make a washcloth or something small. What do I get first? Preferably in store; Michael’s was overwhelming when I looked last. So I get one of the circle loom things? What do I do?
I just want to know what to do, and keep my hands busy. All of the videos overwhelm me.
Help.
