First attempt at fingerless gloves.

I’m having so much fun working on this set! Also my first post ever on Reddit so I’m really excited to learn and see over projects and processes others have.

Short socks

I finally finished these blue short socks after working on them for over a month! I lost my mom a month ago and have had a hard time getting back into the swing of things. I also started a second job, so haven’t had a lot of free time. These were made with leftover Knit Picks Stroll Tweed from a pair I made for my sister in April. It was too lovely and soft to let it go to waste and there was just enough left for these. I used Annabelle sock yarn in dark blue for the heels, toes, and cuffs. I used my Cindwood oval sock loom and made these toe-up with German short row heels and toes. I haven’t decided if they’re for me or if I’ll use them as a gift. Originally I planned to keep them since I just used scraps, but they turned out really nice so one of my nieces might get them.

WiP scarf

I'm suppose to be doing honey comb stitch in double knitting but I feel like I'm not doing it right, either way I'm loving how this is turning out so far!

How to store sample pieces?

I just bought my loom today, and I just watched a video that said it's a good idea to make a swatch with new yarns before you start a project.

This made me realise that creating a catalogue of yarns I like/have used and maybe some knitting swatches might help me with future projects.

Does anyone do this, and if so how?

Ideas for Baby

Hi all!

I’m 12 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I’m really excited to start loom knitting things for him/her (don’t know the sex yet). I’m thinking about making blankets, hats, and socks but I’m wondering if anyone has ideas for other useful or just cute things to make for baby or myself pre- or post-natal. Thanks!

I bought a bunch of this yarn in different colors to try to make a plushie. But when I was casting off, whether doing a drawstring or basic, the yarn disintegrated! Is there a trick to using this yarn? I've figured I can't make a plushie with it but I don't want to waste it.

How can I do a cast off without it falling apart on me.

Can this dishcloth be loom knit?

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ballband-dishcloth

https://www.canadianliving.com/home-and-garden/knitting-and-crochet/article/knit-a-ballband-dishcloth

If it can be, can anyone explain how to follow the pattern? I've done some basic dishcloths following patterns from Youtube, and I'm not sure how to interpret the steps for this awesome pattern (assuming it can even be done on a loom).

Thanks!

Border Size Question

I’m making a large afghan in owl eye stitch that I want to do a garter stitch border for. The top and bottom will be about 24-26 rows of garter stitch then I’ll start the owl eye.

How many pegs to I use on the ends to get the same size side borders? Do I just cut the number in half and do 12 pegs on each side?

For contact using 4 weight yarn.

Stitch pattern recs for a blanket (other than ewrap & garter) that look nice on both sides

Hi all! I'm making a blanket with lion brand mandala ombre yarn. I'm trying to decide what stitch pattern to do that looks nice on both sides and ISN'T ewrap or garter stitch. Specifically, a stitch pattern with minimal or no ewraps.

I was going to go with garter stitch (alternating rows knit stitch/ewrap), but the mandala ombre yarn tends to un-twist when I do full rows of ewraps. I've tried some tricks to deal with this, and they work OK, but I think I'd prefer a different stitch pattern to avoid this altogether.
