Thinking of getting started with loom knitting?

It was almost 23 years ago when I went deep into the art of loom knitting. Now, it seems like something I have been doing for almost my entire life. Up to that point, my expertise was in regular knitting and crochet. But I do remember playing with a little 4-peg corker as a child.Continue reading “Thinking of getting started with loom knitting?”

Huntington Vistas Shawl: stitch video demonstration

It is definitely an old pattern, the sample used a DA Looms (no longer in existence), but still one of my favorite looms due to theContinue reading “Double Knit Simple Cable Scarf”

Loom Knit Stitches: Little Chevron & Cable Twist Stitch

After releasing the Little Chevron Cowl & Matching Hat, I had numerous requests for the stitch pattern to be provided for a flat panel to create a shawl or a scarf.

Little Bear Hat…take 2

My little one wanted another Little Bear Hat in a white color. As I went looking through my yarn, I found a super soft and squishy yarn. It was unfortunately not a weight #6 but a #5. I knew it was going to be smaller, but I didn’t realize that it was going to beContinue reading “Little Bear Hat…take 2”

Loom Knit: Picot Edge

I have added a new video to the techniques playlist. After working on my last cowl & hat set, I realized that I have never shared the picot edge by itself. I have demonstrated it as part of the project, but never by itself. A picot edge provides a nice decorative edge to a knittedContinue reading “Loom Knit: Picot Edge”
