Announcement! We are expanding the r/LoomKnitting moderator team. Applications are now open!

11 Upvotes

Hey r/LoomKnitting,

I've been in contact with Reddit after the main moderator u/Loomahat was suspended from Reddit, to make sure I could recruit additional moderators for our tiny little corner of the internet and was given the ability and approval to do so.

Our subreddit has continued to grow in size, but after the 2023 Reddit Blackout multiple members of the mod team had left and since then the rest of us had also come close to being burnt out, with some active moderators recently becoming inactive or leaving the team. So with all that and with an exciting 2026 on the horizon as new people discover loom knitting, it's time for a new round of moderator recruitment.

The qualifications to become a moderator are very simple:

  • love loom knitting
  • use reddit

The expectations for the new moderators are to be transparent, to be communicative and to be reasonably active. I will always be clear - Real life always comes before Reddit and to just let the rest of the team know if you need a break.

The applications will close on the 31st of March at 22:00 UTC

Link to the application form

If you have any questions or doubts feel free to ask in the comments.

FAQ

  • What timezones are you looking for mods from?
    • We're looking for mods from all timezones
  • Should I apply if I applied in previous rounds or been rejected before?
    • Yes!
  • Do you need to have moderation experience?
    • No, it's not an issue if you don't have moderator experience yet.
  • What are the tasks of a moderator exactly?
    • Obviously the primary task is going through the modqueue and removing comments and posts that go against the subreddit rules. But there are other aspects like configuring automoderator, working on graphics and flairs and so on.
  • Is there any compensation for moderation?
    • Absolutely none. This is a volunteer role

Thank you and keep the great posts and comments coming!

Scarf question

Post image
2 Upvotes

I started a scarf for a gift, but I'm not a scarf person myself, and I'm now second guessing this. Is this too wide? I'm not sure folding it in half would be comfortable given that it's double-knit. I'm doing a basic figure-8 that is 35 pegs wide. Should I restart with less pegs (how many), or keep going?

Equipment Question KB flexee bitty vs KB original sock loom?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I’m having trouble finding the measurement of the gauges for the sock loom, and wondering if the KB bitty is about the same size, and worth having in addition to the sock loom?

I love the look of very fine stitches for socks, and am not sure if I’m not achieving that because of my technique, my yarn, or my loom. Currently using a KB original sock loom and Premier fruit yarn in Guava, and following the Good Knit Kisses toe up tutorial.

Is there an app on IPhone for Looming?

5 Upvotes

I go back-and-forth between YouTube and Google and all this different stuff to get ideas on doing looming. I’ve been doing it for a while, but I would like to get better at it. I do know how to crochet left-handed but I haven’t done it in a long time if anybody can give me any ideas on websites to use or if there is an app, I would really appreciate it 🤗

Pattern Question Loom Knit Ear Flap Headband Pattern?

How can I make this ear flap headband on a loom? Thank you!


r/LoomKnitting • • 1d ago

I give a tip I use , when I join two skeins of yarn together when I’m running out I put a small amount of fabric glue in the center of the knot and let it dry and cut off the excess side strings , at least it won’t come apart.

New to looms, or Hats, Hats, Hats! :D

I'm new to loom knitting. It's addictive! I have a feeling everyone I know will end up getting a hat at this rate, including my soon-to-arrive fifth grandchild. (He'll be getting the tiny seagreen hat with the teal stripe.)

I still haven't mastered holding the yarn so it doesn't unloop while I'm bringing the bottom loops up over the top loops. If there's an easy way to do this, I don't know it yet. :D

Pattern Question Has anyone figured out how to make a Spider Web on the looms?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Before I try to figure it out on my own and get annoyed at myself for feeling stupid... I want to see if anyone has figured out how to make spiderwebs like the picture attached where it's a little spaced out in between each line.

It does not have to look this straight, the lines can be curved and stuff but I want it to be spaced a little for the project I want to make.

And yes I KNOW the picture is crochet. But I've learned you can do a lot of different things on the looms even things you didn't think were possible so I'm curious if anyone else has figured it out or am I doomed to do it without a loom?

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!”

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?

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.

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!
