[Nfb-krafters-korner] Binding off on the K K loom

Tue Oct 11 22:29:47 UTC 2011

Oh, I watched a video. I have that answer now. I did that same thing on a prayer shall last spring. It is now a shrug. lol

Take the loop off of peg one
slip it on a crochet hook
take the loop from peg two and put it on the hook. 
Now take the back stitch on the hook and loop it over as if it was on the peg
Now take loop from peg three and add it to the one left on the hook
Flip the bottom stitch over the top stitch and continue until finished.
You will need to end the process as you do in knitting
Bringing your yarn through the last loop and securing it into the material

It is not real easy. I was using a small loom and felt like I needed more room inside the circle. Yes, I lost a stitch or two and hopefully I picked up the right one. lol If not, Ciera will have a bag holder that falls slowly apart. lol

> I am talking about how you ended it.  Do you take stitch x and put it over y and knit it off or just drop the stitch.  When we knitted it off, it pulled it to tight.  I just thought maybe we were susposed to just drop the stitch and have a loop and put it on the next peg.  I am trying to find out how to bind off with out gathering.

> I am not sure what you are asking. I had the smallest round loom. I did my work in the round. I began binding off at the beginning. When I was three pegs from the end I stopped binding off. I wasn't sure what to do with my last loop so I added it to the first peg with a yarn on it. Then wrapped and continued as before until the skinniy piece was as long as I wanted it. Then I  just slipped my yarn needle through the three loops and sewed it to the project. No pattern so I might not have done it as it should have been done. but it is a plastic bag holder, not the straps to an evening gown. lol Henrietta On Oct 11, 2011, at 1:42 PM, Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E] wrote:

But I put a loop of elastic in it to make it nice for holding and releasing bags. But now that I am almost done, I forgot how to bind off. Can anyone help me?
