[Nfb-krafters-korner] long loom question

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Some people will knit the last peg to help keep them on the pegs while you are knitting the rest off.

I have a question about the double sided looms and that is how do you keep
the last loop on the loom when your taking them off for some reason I have
been having trouble keeping the loops on the pegs
Cathy says:

The first thought that comes to mind is that you want to be careful that
your loops on all pegs are slid down to the bottom to create less of a
chance that they will pop off. a second suggestion is to be certain you are
knitting loose enough. Loose enough means that you want your loops to lay at
the bottom of the pegs, not hug them tightly. This will make it easy for you
not only to pull the loop up and over the peg on the next round, but will
also keep the stitches from popping off. the third suggestion is to be
certain to pull down your work after knitting a round. This will tighten the
work and prevent it from pushing loops up towards the top of your pegs.

Hope these suggestions will be of some help to you.
