[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom knitting tip!

I did not mean I did not have a anker peg.  I ment there was no difference in the feal of the stitches at the anker peg, where I started and stopped.  To my understanding, you were saying there is a difference in the feal of the stitches, where the anker peg is, or where you start and stop.

If I did not have an anker peg, I surely would not use tape.  I would tie a string of a different texture from the yarn I am working with to tell the braking point be tween pegs 1 and x.  Tie it around the loom base not the peg.

If you don't have an anchor  peg place a piece of masking tape or duck tape on your loom to mark the beginning.

If you  knit off the last stitch that you e-wrapped, it will lock in your e-wrapps and  your tention is even and you can stop at any time.  On my knitting in the  round I can not tell where my anker peg was.

Hi all,

Quite  awhile back during a loom knit class the question came up as to whether it was  best to eWrap all pegs then knit them off, or eWrap and knit off each peg  individually. At the time, it was suggested that ewrapping all pegs was  easiest, so that is what I have been doing.

However, I have  begun reading a book called "loom knitting primer," by Phelps. She suggests  that ewrapping and knitting each peg off individually has a number of  advantages. First, it prevents the laddering effect between the first and last  peg in knitting in the round. (Joyce had been trying to figure out how to  resolve this problem I remember.) next ewrapping individually helps lessen the  spiraling effect around the item. the other advantages are that the stitches  are less likely to get too tight or inadvertently come off the  loom.

This is a wonderful book, I have only read 20 pages and  can't put it down and am already learning things I didn't yet know.

It  is in three different formats on bookshare and although there are pictures,  the text is all that is  needed.

Cathy
