[Nfb-krafters-korner] KK long loom question

Wed Aug 15 17:21:13 UTC 2012

The plan is to pearl e wrap every other stitch for the first and last few
complete rows, and to do the same for the first few stitches and last few
stitches of each middle row. As for yarn I have some nice soft thick yarn
not sure of the type.

Brandy,
What kind of yarn are you using for this baby blanket?  Do you know how to
do a border so it will not curl up on you?

Yes, I'll be taking that class. I've already made a hat and a bag on the
round loom. I understand why you prefer panel knitting on the round looms,
but because I'm making a baby blanket, and don't want to have sew pieces
together I'm using the longer loom. I figured out how the clip goes on, but
even my very strong fingers are having some trouble getting the second side
to click in.
Thanks for everything!

Bran

Brandy;
I think we have said, Henry, in about October will be teaching double rake
knitting, which is what you usually use the straight looms for.   I find it
a lot easier to flat knit on a round loom, because there is a lot more room
to work and your pegs are even, just do not close the circle, like you would
do on a hat.  
Give me a call, in the next few days and I can help you get started making a
hat.  I would master this consept first before doing flat knitting and
advanced stitches.

I only have the KK Brand will the clip in some way help this problem so I
wouldn't use that peg? The whole reason for getting the longer loom was so I
could panel knit around. Maybe I could act like this is a deliberate stripe
down the center of the blanket based on what I do on the edges?

Hi Bran, is it the actual knifter knitter brand loom or one of the craft
stores brand?
Yes the long looms have a wider space on the ends and yes it will leave a
large gap if you panel knit around it.
The loom clips will only work on the kk brand of looms, not on craft store
brand looms.
