[Nfb-krafters-korner] another KK loom question

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Ohio;
If you want to call me, about 8:00, eastern, tonight, I can walk you through the knit on the kk loom.  I find someone verbally describing it, until you get the hang of it, to be very helpful.

Hi All,

 

I'm working on my first attempt with the KK loom. I have instructions, but have a feeling I may not be doing it correctly. Please read through the steps I am taking and let me know if, or when, I am in error. 

 

This is a small round loom. I am using one strand of yarn.

 

Round one: after anchoring yarn, wrap each peg counter-clockwise, while moving clockwise around the loom. (one loop on peg)

Round two: repeat round one. (two loops on peg)

Round three: place yarn in front of first peg, pick up bottom loop and move it over peg to inside of loom. three loops on peg)

 Move clockwise around loom repeating process.

Round four: repeat round one. (four loops  on peg)

 

Note: I'm acquiring more loops on my peg each round, so perhaps I am doing this wrong? Perhaps I should not place yarn outside of peg before bringing bottom loop over?

 

Other difficulties  I am having are keeping the yarn loops loose and also picking up a loop with the hook without tearing the bottom loop of yarn.
Does anyone use their fingers instead of the hook?

 

Thanks for all help.

 

Ohiogardener.
