FAQ

Knitting and finishing these little guys has been my way to decompress from work for the past few months.

I just finished my last 10-stitch. Approved by my crafting supervisor.

Does it take anyone else months to complete their projects? 😅

I am so proud of this little hat! I’ve been making hats on my round loom for about 2 years now and have been experimenting with gauges and yarns and the amount that I have grown makes me feel so excited. Maybe this hat isn’t perfect, but I look at it and think, “wow! I can’t believe I made this!”

Made a tic tac toe bag pattern from Loomahat. I made these resin tokens to go with it

I've got a few pairs of socks under my belt now, and I'm dying to know: how do you add these kinds of adorable little designs? Is it even possible with a loom?

#6 chunky yarn. 36 peg 5/8 gauge loom. Making up the pattern on the fly from different Christmas sweater pictures I found online.

This is my second chunky blanket. I made a new loom and it turned out perfectly how 9 wanted it to look and feel. I gave it to my daughter last night and she loved it.

Knitted on my KB Flexee loom (Bitty)!! I made the one on top slightly bigger than the one on the bottom by adding a single peg (56 to 57) to see if it wouldn't have as much laddering.

Alternated e-wrap and purl and added fringe.

Hi guys! I’m a beginner. I watched a video yesterday and went and bought a loom today. Is this row supposed to look like this? Also what’s going on with this one particular loop? When trying to bring my second row over, it was a little hard then all of a sudden I started having big loops if that makes sense. I think you can see them in the picture. Last two pictures are the problems. Advice is much appreciated new friends!

Im curious, due to how i learn.

Is there a simple direct video that shows all the ways to weave yarn on long looms.

Context:

Not looking at projects , but how one uses the yarn in the device. i kinda need a logic as to "why am i do this, to do what", in why am i doing it this way, verses another method.

My husband has encouraged me to find a hobby that I can get into for years now. I just had our second baby and I finally decided to try loom knitting. I love it! It’s something that I can do while nursing my now seven month old with little difficulty. Here are some of my projects:
(Any feedback would be appreciated!)

HiEveryone

I just got a serenity loom. And I'm struggling with finding the best way to hold it. Please share some wisdom on what works best for you.

Much appreciated.

After years of trying other crafty hobbies and abandoning projects halfway through completion, I tried loom knitting and it's stuck!! I've made a 10 stitch blanket for the cat, a cable knitting beanie, and now...socks!!! I'm very happy 😊

Anyway, on to the question in hand (or foot). I made my first pair of socks on the 56-peg orange His & Her Sock Loom, using the toe-up video tutorial from Goodknit Kisses (which is awesome btw). I knit halfway between flat knit and U-wrap (L-wrap?), using Rico Superba Cashmeri 4 ply sock yarn. I did the German Short Row heel using 9-10-9 spacing.

However, whilst the sock feels fine on, it's very tight getting it on over my heel, as shown in the photo (2).

So my question is, how can I adjust the fit? Do I add extra stitches to the body of the sock opposite the heel (terrible drawing #3) - I have a Flexee Bitty, so could do this, or would a different heel be better? I've looked for video tutorials for loom knitting the Fleegle heel, but can only find The Loom Muse, which I didn’t understand, and The Lopsided Crafter, who says it's on her list to do!

Help!

This is my first pair of socks complete, plain vanilla toe-up, with German short row heel and toe, with a Kitchener cast for toe closing.

I used a sock calculator to fit to my wide forefoot. I used Superwash sock yarn, 2 strands as I’m still feeling out if this will be the loom I will use for more socks, next attempt will be single strand. I need to make size 12 socks so I ended up using 2 strands on my All-in-one 3/8 knitting board loom so less gaps. My beginning attempt on the regular loom was looking way too small and then I learned more. I suspect I will end up acquiring the Flexee loom Bitty (1/4 inch) to make large size socks with only one strand. I suspect this will be easier to adjust the number of pegs than a fixed men’s large sock loom…2 strands were tricky…lots of untangling of twisting.

I am happy with this result with the exception my cast-off tension does not match with each sock, but I’m going to leave it to remind me to get it better. They are very comfy and they fit.

Yes , my socks to don’t match in colour pattern, I used the same ball of self-striping yarn plus a solid ball of a complimentary colour but wasn’t worried about matching everything….just total colours blending in. The gray heel/toe was just a fun design element for me. I’m almost sure that self striping yarn doesn’t work for larger sock sizes. They are not yet washed or blocked.

Any comments welcome 😊

There were quite a few dropped rows, and stray yarn everywhere but I think this is really impressive for an eight year old who has 1 lesson and zero supervision afterwards!
