[Nfb-krafters-korner] Help With A Loom Knitting Pattern

Tue Jan 2 14:35:09 UTC 2018

Good Morning Terry and Daniella, first of all, I can't even get into this P 
D F file for some unknown reason,maybe it is because of Outlook Express, I 
don't know.
Terry, I am glad that you have some useful sight because as you say this 
file is pictures, and that is no help to me at all.
Daniella, Terry and I are not being critical of you, we're glad that you 
want to try different Loom patterns on your own. If there are any written 
directions to this pattern that do not infringe on any copyright laws then 
we'll be more than happy to help you with this pattern.

Hi Daniella, let me study this pattern for a bit, and get back to you 
privately. Yes, it is possible to incorporate knitting needles in a looming 
pattern All of Terrys and my Double Rake Looms and Authentic Knitting Boards 
have 2 rows of pegs, I am not sure what you mean by your board having 1 row 
of pegs. You would only use 1 row of pegs for a sweater for an example.
Happy Looming!

Hi.

I am not a looming expert and have never done it, but here’s what I’d say 
about re-sizing.

Speaking from a needle-knitting perspective, you can re-size, but it would 
probably entail writing the whole pattern over and, if needed, re-working a 
pattern stitch so that you incorporate shaping correctly. You’d have to 
figure out how many inches (and fractions of inches) of stitches are 
added/removed as you shape. Obviously, you’ll also need to adjust your yarn 
quantity way upward to re-size, as well as buy more buttons/notions as 
needed.
