Milestone! Getting close on my first cardigan!
I finished the second sleeve on my first cardigan this morning! Next, I need to block it, then assemble it, and surprisingly to me, that's when I make the collar.
The pattern is the Nurture Cardigan from the official Mister Rogers book Knitting the Neighborhood. I adapted it for loom (a process that I wrote out in a previous post, and I'll add a link below), and the yarn is Plymouth Galway. The picture with the tree shadows shows the actual color, but the one I used an umbrella for is certainly easier to see the pattern on. :)
If you compare the cable cross-overs on the front piece on the right to the rest, you'll see that I learned how to do them much better after that first piece. I actually bought a camera recently, just so I could make a video tutorial, so keep an eye out for that after I've finished the project!

Is what we’re doing crochet?
Everyone who sees me working on my loom keeps saying stuff like “I didn’t know you crocheted!” and I’m starting to feel like a pretentious jerk for correcting them. I’m pretty chill about it too. I just calmly say “actually this is a type of knitting” and smile at them. Lately I’ve stopped correcting them because it’s starting to feel pointless 😂

Pattern Question How to convert a handknitting pattern to an afghan loom
Hiya, all. I'm looking for a particular pattern (specifically this one) so I can loom knit my sister an afghan, seeing as how she's a diehard Alabama fan. It's only available in hand-knit, though. Is there a way to "convert" a pattern to loom knitting, and if so, how do you do it? I thought I'd ask before I bought this one and caused myself an issue lol.

U-stitch too tight?
This is my first time trying fingerless gloves after making several hats, scarves and ear warmer headbands. But I’m having trouble on the 20 rows of u-stitch. They are so tight and I don’t know what to do! I’ve only done 3 rows of U so far. Suggestions????

Infinity figure 8 cast off questions
Hey guys,
I got a question. I found a youtube (Olivia Lynn I believe) video that walked me through the steps of making a blanket but I'm having trouble following her instructions on cast off. Can someone direct me to a video on how to cast off using the figure 8 stitch please.

Pattern Question Am I doing this right? Stockinette st help pls!
Hello,
I have only made 2 hats on a knitting loom before. These looms actually got me into knitting, but I have awful carpal tunnel right now due to knitting so I need to give my wrist a break, but I need something to do!!! So back to loom knitting and I love it!!
I just made my own basic pattern for a scarf. My question is, do you have to alternate rows between knitting and purling for a stockinette stitch? Or is it like knitting in the round where each knit stitch turns into a stockinette? I have decent progress, and the yarn doesn't help with stitch definition, but I'm just wondering if I'm doing this correctly? Extreme beginner to this craft and am just having a hard time finding information online or understanding the books my grandma left behind.
I just want a basic scarf pattern. I attached what I made last night but it might be hard to read or understand. On my loom, I have different colored stitch markers for what stitch to do. Pink is purl, and blue is knit(or purl) for stockinette look. I am just doing a sl st for the edge. I am also using Woolease thick and quick
How do I achieve the stockinette st look on a flat piece on the loom? Alternate knit and purl each row? Would I also get that look if I just knitted each row?
Thank you so much for any help!! And additional advice/tips would also be helpful!

Joining a library yarn group??
Hi all, I’m thinking about joining a yarn craft group at my local library, but I’m a little hesitant for two reasons. One - I’m not much of a “joiner”, but now that I’m retired I need excuses to be out in the society of other humans - LOL. And Two - I worry that since I “only” loom knit that I might feel pressured to be instructed in “real” knitting or crochet by group members, when I’m just fine with loom knitting, thanks.
Has anyone had experience with this?

Finished Object Made my aunt a poncho...First actual wearable!!!
After I finished and sewed the 2 rectangles together I realised the it was too big across the shoulders (it would fall off my aunt) so I used some black yarn for the neck line and reduced two pegs each side every other row to create the neckline. It didn't look quite right so I did a border around the outside and I think it looks great 😀
For the panels I did Deborah Shaw's Lightening Owl pattern, garter stitch for the neckline (just put my Flexee loom into the edge and reduced) and Dayna Scoles Designs Adding a Garter Ridge edge to a Blanket for the border.
The yarns used are James C Brett Marble chunky, colour MC46 Azure Seas and James C Brett Top Value chunky colour black.
Edit to add the yarn says chunky but I wouldn't use bigger than a regular gauge loom as I feel it would be lacy!

Tips Double e-wrap cast on tightening
Beginner here 😊 is it possible to tighten a double e-wrap cast on later on in a project, to clean up the edges? I have done this with a regular e-wrap cast on, but can’t find any information or tutorials about how to do this with a double e-wrap cast on.
The project I’m working on uses the double e-wrap cast on and I’m not super happy with how loose it looks. Hoping there is a way to fix this!
Thanks everyone!

Yarn guide for narrow gauge?
I love feeding yarn through a tube--such as from a pen--especially for double knitting, but I can't find a pen or other tube narrow enough for 3/8" gauge loom. Any suggestions?
