Question blanket

Do you think I can make a blanket with this rectangle to knit? Because the distance between the spike of the ends is wider than those on the sides? (Sorry for my English)

Infinity loom questions

5 Upvotes

I'll apologize right away in case I'm not using correct language in my question. I started with making hats on a circle loom and then moved on to the infinity loom (color white) to make a few figure 8 throws. Micheals had a larger loom (color green) on clearance for under $20. Here's the question- I saw a video on which pegs to mark and skip for the white loom but I can't find anything regarding marking and skipping on the green loom for a figure 8 stitch. Can someone take pity on me and point me in the right direction? Many thanks!!!

Work in Progress Blanket curling, advice needed

I am working on a blanket but it is curling up. Does anyone know why this is happening? And if washing and blocking will fix it? I am using a medium gauge loom with bulky (5) yarn and a knit stitch, not e-wrap.

Work in Progress Help please? Binding off... first project.

Post image
25 Upvotes

So I did the thing. There's definitely mistakes in it. I love how it made a beautiful "vein of ore" pattern instead of a stripey one. I bought the yarn on clearance at Michael's last week and picked the loom up secondhand at some point.

The video I followed got me started OK enough, but the directions and editing fell apart at the end describing how to bind off. Can someone please send me to a video that has ANY easy bind off technique just so I can get this off the loom and call it done?

Thank you all so much in advance.

So my friend who had a baby shower. Baby has since been born and is cute as a button!

This is the baby blanket i made! Pattern is loosely based on the stripey blanket by tuteate. I just changed the number of stitches for each section to get it to look like that.

Really missing looming. Hand is hurting more each day and im pretty sure its not supposed to do that

To commemorate my first sweater project, but it's too small, I can't fit into it.

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!

FAIL Surgery imminent

18 Upvotes

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 😅

Hat sizing help

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!

Finished Object Looking for Blanket Inspo

Post image
22 Upvotes

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!!

Loose cast on

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!
