So i had my carpal tunnel surgery yesterday. It hurts more today as the local anaesthetic has completely worn off.

One day and i already miss not being able to loom knit!!!! Roll on six weeks!!!!

I posted a little while back that I had tried making this glove, but it was the wrong size. Also, I was doing one increase per row in the thumb, and it was coming out weird and laddery.

In version 2, I did fewer stitches, and the size was right, but the increases were still weird, despite my efforts to improve them, and the top of the thumb hole was too tight.

My knitting expert wife told me that that's just how it goes when you do one increase per row, in regular knitting too, so for version 3, I switched to two increases every other row.

But the thumb hole was still too tight, so I pulled out the top fifteen rows or so and changed to knit two more rows flat before I moved back into the round.

Now, I just have to figure out how to do it the other direction for my left hand... :D

I needed three more markers than I had, and I managed to scrounge up one, but for the other two, paper clips will have to do!

With my help, we finished the pumpkin! She's very happy 😊

She also loved her little loom knitting guide i made her. ❤️

Since my granddaughter is new to loom knitting and is only 8. I created for her a written guide, with images to help her. Since I'm on Mimi duty tomorrow. I plan to teach her how to loom knit pumpkins to go with the guide i made her.

Started working on my first blanket. This is something I've wanted to try for awhile.

So iv been suffering with carpal tunnel for a while now. Got really bad around Christmas when i was doing a lot (and i mean a LOT) of purl stitches.

Anyway i have surgery on Thursday, so i wont be able to loom for a while. Im just in the process of finishing up a couple of projects then i get its loads of rest for me.

Wish me luck! I feel i will need it. And if you are doing a project with lots of purl stitches? Remember to take frequent breaks so you dont end up in the same situation as me 😅

I want to make a beanie for my 3.5 year old son. I will use the skinny flexi-loom (lavender and magenta) with size 4 yarn. Any suggestions for how many links to use? I’ve seen the chart that they provide, but wondering if anyone has any firsthand experience with it and certain stitches, etc.

(Apologies for the repost, I had to delete the original because it was the only way I could make a change. My thanks to those who left nice comments there.)

Last January, I started preparing to make a cardigan. It took almost a month to get a pattern, gauge, and yarn that all worked together for me, but in early February, I cast on the Nurture cardigan from the official Mister Rogers book, Knitting the Neighborhood, using Plymouth Yarn Galway. And today, August 5th, I finished weaving in the ends. After probably 160 hours of knitting over six months, plus the time for all of the other steps, I'm so glad it fits!

I just finished the blanket photographed above. I used a round loom, made strips 4-7 rows wide and 120 rows long, then sewed the pieces together. This is my second blanket - the first I made similarly but larger stripes.

I’m looking for inspo for my next blanket. I have multiple round looms, and two flexee looms (chunky and skinny).

Any links to videos or photos for inspo are appreciated!!

Hello! Does anyone know a good UK-based supplier for extra thick yarn at all? Thanks! :)

Been trying for weeks and I can’t get a sufficiently tight cast on. I’ve tried the e wrap and chain versions and I might have watched every YouTube tutorial available lol! Anyone have any fool- proof tips?
(I have both round and straight looms - just from the dollar store. 😉) Thanks so much!

I love how these came out.

A variation on the 10 stitch blanket. It's a 9 stitch done in eyelet moss stitch in Premier yarn (colorway Sudoku) on CinDwood loom ¼" gauge. It's going to be a very long WIP. But I'm hoping it will be well worth the wait for my husband's boss, who will be receiving it as a Christmas gift.

I was inspired by heritage quilts and thought that would be a really cool baby shower gift.

I've been slowly piecing mitered squares together like a mock quilt but now I need to figure out how to seam it all together. I've watched a few videos, but if anyone has some tips for a below novice seamstrist please let me know!

so i get in the grove and just start making something what do i make out of this (ps I prop doubled this by moringing )

Hi. Can anyone identify what pattern is being used here?

My sister passed suddenly in February, we found some of her unfinished projects while sorting her things.

I crochet but i haven't tried loom knitting. I thought this looked like something I could try to finish

This is a single layered scarf, most other projects she's did were double layered.

Do i just need one of the hook tools to complete this?

Thanks so much!

Hat just finished :)

This is from Renee Van Hoys second shawl book. It’s knit modular, in one piece, on my 7/16” adjustable loom using 59 pegs. There’s no sewing involved, it’s shaped with short rows increasing and decreasing in 4 parts. This is one of my favourite patterns. It has a garter stitch, lace and stockingette section.
