Thank you so much
I wish I had had more teachers like you when I was younger. I had a few. The way you explain things and how you carry yourself is comforting. I don't feel intimidated or overwhelmed. I feel included. Thank you so much for these videos.

Yes, I have it from time to time where you meet someone that is 10-30 years younger that I just look up to and want to be like when I grow up. (I'm 50+ yrs). It warms my heart when people are wise, smart, and kind altogether, no matter what their age. Thank you for being you're wonderful, kind ,and beautiful to boot self. God bless you for the joy you bring to me and so many others.
Hi MrsMika! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a beautiful comment. I appreciate you. God bless!🌻🌻🧶
I'm 80 and do the same thing at times!!!
WOW, this makes sense. I can follow you very easily. You go at a slow pace so that I am able to keep up. I don’t have to pause so much. No remember, I’ve only been doing this for less than a month. Thank you so much!
Hi Juliet! Welcome! I am happy you found the video helpful. I appreciate you watching and your lovely comment. All the best to you! 🧶🧶🌻🧶🧶🌻
Oh, my goodness! You have to be the kindest, best teacher ever! I'm enjoying this video-whivh intimidated me to even think about watching due to the loom. But you are simply wonderful, thank you!
Hi Reed! I appreciate you watching. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. All the best to you!!🌻🌻🧶🌻
I absolutely LOVE that you use the word wonky. It's my favorite. And I love how you explain the patterns. Thank you so much!!
Hi J M! I really appreciate you watching. Thank you for your lovely comment. Yes, wonky is a good and underused word 🤗. All the best to you!!🌻🧶🌻
Thank you so much for these loom knitting videos! You are the best! This is my first time knitting on a loom EVER and I am learning from you and actually getting it! I am so excited! I cannot thank you enough. You go at the perfect pace for me to learn and knit with you.
Hi Kim! Thank you for watching. I am glad that you are finding the tutorials helpful. If this is your very first time loom knitting, I would start with something basic first. I have included the links to two beginning loom knitting videos. Making something basic, like a hat, first might help give you a good loom knitting foundation before you start the Afghan loom. I hope you enjoy your wonderful loom knitting journey.

All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶
Thank you so much! Your videos cover everything, and you manage to go slow enough for me to see and understand what you are doing, and then copy. Your voice is so calming as well. I hope more people see your videos, you make the learning part of loom knitting stress free. ♡♡♡
Hi Lindsay! I am sooo happy that you found the video helpful. I appreciate the lovely comment. Thank you sooo very much for watching. 🌻🌻🧶🌻🌻🧶
Aww, no, thank you for the videos ♡♡♡

Hi Helen!! Thank you sooo very much! I appreciate you watching. Sending my good wishes to you and all of your loved ones in the great state of Arkansas!!!🌻🧶🌻🧶☀️☀️☀️
I’m starting mine this weekend thank you for all the helpful videos! They have taught me how to loom I have started with your looming for beginners and now this is my second big project. My first big one was on the flexee loom it was a blanket. Love your videos they are so very helpful! Have a great day!!
Hi Xana! Sounds like an enjoyable and adventurous weekend coming up! Thank you sooo much for watching - and, for the lovely comment. I am happy that you have found the videos helpful. All the best to you and your loved ones!!🌻🌻🧶🌻
I ordered me a new loom. Can't wait for mine loom to get here. I want to make a few afghans for Christmas. Your the best teacher I have cane a cross. Thank you for your videos
Hi Susie! Congratulations! I am excited for you! I wish you many enjoyable hours of loom knitting - and many wonderful afghans. 🌻🧶🧶🧶🌻
Thank you Wambui I cant wait to receive mine and start using it, I will follow your instructions, have a fantastic day
Hi Minerva! Remember, you don’t have to have an Afghan loom to make blankets. You can use the round or the long loom and attach the sections together. I will do a video on that. I hope you are enjoying your day. 🧶🧶🌻
I have to tell you thank you soon much for teaching me how to do this! I have been struggling with this loom for over a year.I. was just going to give up but Your video was the only one that was thorough enough and me and my husband think you are just amazing !!!
Thank you 😊
Hi Christina! First of all, thank you so very much for watching. I am so happy that you found the video helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I wish you and your loved ones the very best!🌻🧶🧶🌻
I knit left handed, although I am actually right handed. Thank you for the wonderful way you teach looming, something new to me.
Hi Nedra!! Welcome! Thank you for watching. I appreciate your lovely comment. Best wishes to you!!🧶🧶🌻
Thank you so much for explaining how to use this, I just got it and hope to make a blanket
Greetings! Thank you so much for watching.The key with the afghan looms is patients. It will take some getting used to. However, once you get started, it should be fun and your blanket will look nice.

Hi Sarah! Thank you so very much for watching. I am glad that you found the video helpful. Thank you for the lovely comment. All the best to you🌻🌻🧶
I am new to loom knitting! This was very helpful to me but I’m leaving a comment to tell you you’re an excellent teacher and are a delightful person to listen to. Thank you for making these videos!
Thank you so very much for watching. I am happy that you found the tutorial helpful. All the best to you on your loom knitting journey!
So comforting to watch and listen to! Great video tutorial! Im learning!
I adore the KB large Afghan loan. I just went all the way around with it. It came out amazing. It was so big and I got very carried away with it. Are used the Karen cakes and just when I thought oh that should be enough I had to run to the store to go buy another 2 more balls of yarn. Well needless to say it was enough for two people to cuddle on the couch with it. That is my favorite loom. But I’m watching your video to check this out because I may add this to my loom bucket. I have every brand every size you could possibly imagine. And every time they come out with a new loom I have to get it. There’s only one other room channel that I watch that really got me into illuminating, but I’ve added you to my favorites as well. Another girl from New York well another old Grandma from New York/Long Island who adores Loom knitting. And my youngest granddaughter is my biggest help her. She’s 3 1/2 years old, she loves the feel of the yarn and to smell it and he’s slowly hand me the yarn with any project that I make
Hi Adrienne! Since I stated using CinDWood looms - they are the only looms I want to buy now. I really like working on the wooden looms now. I have seen those Caron cakes. They are huge! I have one and am deciding what I want to make with it. I agree with you - you would think you would never run out! Sounds like you made a huge blanket. I am glad you have a 3 1/2 year old helper. Those are the best kind. Thank you so much for the lovely comments. 🧶🧶🌻🧶🌻🌻☀️☀️
First off, you are STUNNING! SO beautiful! Secondly--I could listen and learn from you all the time! You are so easy to understand, your voice is soothing and made for instructional videos. I am a person who learns best by seeing and you made this so easy to understand. I have made a few scarves and hats but this undertaking will be an experience! I am being blessed with my first grandbaby and want to gift her with something I've created--not a simple task because I only have one hand as I am a partial amputee (fingers crossed 🤞) I have 4.5mos...so this should be doable.
Greetings! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for the lovely comments. Congratulations on the new addition to your family - your first grand baby!! I do believe that everything will turn out well for you. I also want to include part two of this video: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It th-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/w-d-xo.html
There may be some things in this video that will help clarify the process even more. Thank you for taking the time to share. I do wish you all the best!🧶🌻
Hi there! Just wanted to say I love your smile and how thorough you are with explanations. Thank you for the help :)

I'm in love w u n your channel. Ty 4 sharing all your knowledge.
Thank you. I appreciate you being here. All the best to you. 🧶🧶🧶🌻
I made a blanket with end yarns from all of the hats that I made that you showed us how. it took about 55 hours total. its all different colours. I didn't know about the 4 rows and 4 first and last stitches, so I made the hem myself on both ends by folding over and sewing. then I started another one in just different purples. i'm still working on that one. but i figured out about the first 4 rows myself. I will send a pic to your email when I figure out how - lol. but you have helped me with my next project with those tips. thanks Wambui. you are the best.
Hi! Yes, I just responded to your email!! Your work is beautiful. I will share at the next LIVE and add to our subscriber gallery. Thank you.🧶🧶🧶🧶🌻
What a gracious, lovely instructor. Wshing you nothing but the best of health and happiness. You are a dear...
I just came across your video and I love how you explain how to do it. I am currently making my dog a blanket. I am not feeling good and was looking for something to do while I rest and get better.
Hi Shannon! Thank you for your lovely comment. I hope that you are feeling better by now. I have a feeling your dog is going to love the new blanket. 🌻🌻🌻☀️
I'm so glad I watched your video. I am not a knitter but saw someone using this and thought easy peasy. You explained this perfectly and I am glad you said to maybe consider starting with a hat. I will definitely try something not as complicated! This was an excellent video! Thank you for doing it, I appreciate it very much.

I love your videos they are helpful with learning to loom. Thank you for sharing your talents. By the way you look amazing for 70s I was guessing 50ish. 💗
Hi Jennifer! I am happy that you find the videos helpful. I appreciate you watching. Thank you for the lovely comment. All the best to you!!🌻🌻🧶🌻
Was gifted a set of looms and came to find inspiration, and i found you, thank you for sharing! I wanna try to use the big one first but ill try a hat first lol Looks like i got some projects to aspire to make ^_^
Hi TreyJin! Welcome! Thank you for watching. If you are brand new, I would suggest making a hat or another smaller project to get the feel of the loom and the stitches. The afghan loom as a first project can be overwhelming because of the turns and small spaces you will sometimes be working in. I am not saying it can’t be done. However, I would ease into. I am wishing you a great day and some wonderful loom knitted projects!!🌻🧶🧶🧶🌻
You are adorable! I enjoy your videos. Awesome instructions. Thank you
Hi Christina! I appreciate you watching. Thank you for the lovely comment. All the best to you!🌻🧶🌻

Yes, indeed, she is!😀

Hi Stella! Thank you so very much for watching. I am including a link to part two to this video. In part 2, I make a sample version of what the finished blanket should look like: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It th-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/w-d-xo.html

I am thinking of getting into looming! This seems vary relaxing and easy to learn!
Thanks for the great video!!
:)
Greetings! I appreciate you watching. Thank you so very much. If you have never loom knitted before, I do recommend starting on the round loom. This is a great beginner video: How to Loom Knit for Beginners: Basic Loom Knit Stitch / DIY Loom Knitting for Beginners - Part1 th-cam.com/video/1dc9dGiAtqc/w-d-xo.html
While the afghan or infinity looms are great, if you are new to loom knitting, they can be a bit overwhelming. I would not make those looms my first try. Wishing you a wonderful day!🌻🧶🌻
Thank you for explaining how to use the loom.
You’re welcome 😊Thank YOU for watching and for the lovely comment. All the best to you!🧶🧶🌻
Thanks so much! Your a great teacher :3

What a stunning looking woman! I’m about to start my loom tonight.
Hi MrOshun! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for the lovely comment - and the lovely compliment. FYI: I also want to take this time to make you aware of part two of this video. In part two I actually do a sample demonstration from beginning to end: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It th-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/w-d-xo.html
All the best to you and your loved ones!🧶🧶🌻
Oh I love her.
Hi Laura! Thank you sooo much for watching. Thank you for the lovely comment. Best wishes to you!!🧶🧶🌻🧶
I would highly recommend getting a loom knitting pen. They're hard to find, but can easily be made by taking out the inside of a regular pen and pulling yarn thru it. Makes e-wrapping sooo much easier.
Hi aebusta1! That is a wonderful idea and I have been meaning to mention that somewhere in one of my videos. I have tried the pen, and for me - perhaps I just needed to practice some more - but for me, it felt clumsy and seemed to slow me down. However, that is just me. I know that many loom knitters - when using an Afghan loom find the pin very helpful. But, yes this is something I should share with others because for some, it might make things easier for them. I appreciate your feedback. And, thank you for watching. 🧶🧶🌻🧶🌻🧶🌻☀️
Excellent tutorial yet again. Just off to EBay to buy an Afghan loom. For your viewers in the U.K. I am buying from Uk knitting looms because they have the Afghan loom with the pegs 9cm apart so I can use two strands of dk. Keep safe X
Hi Lynette! I am glad you found the video helpful. I hope you enjoy your new afghan loom. Thank you for the info about UK knitting looms. I will share with everyone at our next LIVE. I appreciate you. Best wishes to you!!🧶🧶🧶🌻
My goodness! 70? I wish my skin was as perfect and beautiful as yours and I am only 49. Wow! Thanks so much for making this video. I have an infinity loom thar has just been sitting because I could not find a reliable person to show me how to use it. Many of the videos have people just assuming we know certain things. They are NOT beginner friendly AT ALL. ❤
You rule. Thank you
Greetings! Thank you. I appreciate you watching. All the best to you!🌻🧶🌻🌻🌻
I can’t wait to start knitting! I’ve never done it but want to learn and I stumbled upon your TH-cam! Thank you for sharing! And there’s no way you’re 70! You look so much younger than that
Hi Patricia! Thank you for watching - and thank you for the lovely comment. I am excited for you to start loom Knitting!!! However, if you are brand new, I wouldn’t start with the afghan loom right away. I would recommend that you get used to looming on a round or long loom first. The best place to start is here: How to Loom Knit for Beginners: Basic Loom Knit Stitch / DIY Loom Knitting for Beginners - Part1 th-cam.com/video/1dc9dGiAtqc/w-d-xo.html I appreciate you. Enjoy your day!🌻🧶🌻🧶🌻
How is it going? I'm trying this too. Looks complicated!
Well I've done a long loom for scarves. I guess this may be too much for me! Wish they had told me that!
If you have done scarves on the long loom, then you are not a newbie. You will probably do fine on the Afghan bloom. The thing I find with the Afghan loom is that you have to be really really patient. Is yours the KB round or more of the oblong s shaped afghan loom?
I am so going to get me one of these.
Hi Foxtrot! Thank you so very much for watching. The Afghan loom can be a lot of fun. However, If you are a beginner to loom knitting, I would get used to using the round loom first. Thank you for the lovely comment. I wish you great success!🌻🌻🧶
My daughter is getting so frustrated working on her Afghan loom but she is trying hard ... thank you for this amazing video. Take care !! 🙃🌻💗💕🧶
Yes, the Afghan loom can be quite frustrating. I decided to do the video to help those who had requested a desire to use the Afghan loom. I am going to make my Afghan as I guide and help others as much as I can. But I think after that, I will stick with the long or round loom and piece the sections together. Enjoy your day! 🧶🧶🧶🌻
I just love you I want to be like you when I grow up!
Greetings! Welcome! Thank you! You put a smile on my face! 🤗 Best wishes to you!!🌻🧶🌻
Wow you helped me so mutch TSYM!!
Hello hindutwo, Thank you for watching. I am glad that you found the video helpful. All the best to you!🧶🌻🧶

You look absolutely amazing! I would have never guessed your age.
Greetings! You made my day!!! Thank you. All the best to you!!🌻🌻🧶
I didn't know about these looms. I saw another person put the yarn through a straw and wined the loops though that way. He cut the straw to make it smaller so he could hold it and wined the yarn around. You 70.you look 40. Amazing!
Hi Gwendolyn! Thank you for the lovely comment. Thank you for watching. Yes, several people have let me know about the straw. Most people say it works great for them. I never got the ‘hang’ of it and just prefer to use my fingers to wrap the pegs. I have often said that I will do a video to demonstrate for those who want to do it. Thank you for reminding me. I appreciate you. All the best to you! 🧶🧶🌻🧶
,where were you when I made my first Afghan? Your instructions are so clear . Love your videos
Hi Bobbie! I am happy that you found the video helpful. Part 2 will show completion of a sample version of the whole afghan:

Thank you for the lovely comment. Have a wonderful weekend!!🌻🧶🌻🌻
Your smile is infectious ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Greetings Teri! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for the lovely comment. All the best to you!🌻🧶🧶
Great job! Can I suggest you use a empty pen barrel and string your yarn through it. It makes it a lot easier to E wrap. It’s a little faster and less stress on your hands. I have arthritis some wrapping with my fingers is very hurtful. With the pen barrel it’s so much easier and faster. I have only made baby blankets on the rectangular loom. You make it look very easy to use this loom so I think I’m going to try it. Because of my arthritis I haven’t been able to knit in years. I am wanting to make a bedspread and I believe I will with this loom. By the way you look fabulous I never would have thought you were 70. 50s yes 70 no way. Continue with the great video. You are easy to follow along with. God bless!
Hi Angie! Thank you for such a lovely comment. I appreciate you watching. Thank you for the pen barrel suggestion. Several of the people on this channel have suggested the the pen barrel to me as well. I think I will make a short video to let others know as well. Thank you. Stay wonderful!🧶🌻🧶🌻
You dont look 70😮 you're beautiful inside and out!!
Greetings! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for the lovely comment. It means a lot to me. All the best to you!🧶🧶🌻
I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks so much. Question how many skeins do you think this will

Hi Mary! The amount of skeins of yarn will depend on the the brand and type of yarn you use and of course how large you want your blanket to be. Red Heart blanket yarns average about 500 yds a skein. According to a chart I saw on line, a large Afghan is about 2000 yards. If you are using skeins like red heart, it may take about 4 or 5. Check the yarn label to see how many yards are in it. Then divide 2000 by that number. -- if you are making a large Afghan. 🌷🌷🌷☀️🧶
Yes you go

I thought you were much younger...50s was my thinking! What is your secret to looking so young?
Hi Erin! Thank you! What a wonderful comment. I think I am starting to ‘feel’ my age - lately all I want to do is nap. I’m going to credit it mostly to genes. Stay fabulous! I appreciate you. 🌷🌷🌷🧶
Not gonna lie, I thought the same thing
Same. I never would have guessed you were 70.

I am a knitter ...I haven’t loom since..I was a child....Do u have a video on looming a sweater......Thank U.....Stay Safe Ms.
Love the way you teach.and I know where you got that lovely necklace from.yeah I have one. Thanks for the good teaching
Hi Jean! First of all, thank you so very much for watching. Yes I love this necklace - I love all of my five dollar necklaces that look sooo good🤗. Thank you for the lovely comment. All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶
I love love love watching your videos. I’ve learned how to loom knit threw watching you! Thank you! So...I am fairly new at loom knitting but I started on this bigger loom to make a blanket. But I’ve noticed that my blanket looks longer on 1 side? Do you know why this could be??
Hi Angela!! Thank you so much for watching. I am happy that you have found the videos helpful. Let me start with what is usually the most common reason for the blanket looking long on one side. Maybe you have done this - if you have - let me know and I will try to help you from there. -- The thing to try is this: Use a measuring tape to measure both sides and see if there is a difference after you measure. I have often thought that my sides didn’t match, however, it was just the way one side was hanging longer. But, after measuring, they were they same. If this is NOT the case with you, let me know so that I might try to help figure out what might be happening to cause this.🌻🌻🌻🧶
Hello from Canada. I found those little elastics at Michaels craft store.
Hi Heather! I am glad you found them!🌻🧶🌻
This is my first time seeing your videos and I'm in love! Thank you so much for the way you explain everything so clearly that I can easily follow along! I feel like I'm learning from a friend. I can tell you have a beautiful soul! A question for you...If I want my afghan to be only 60 inches wide, do I just measure about where 60' would be on the loom and stop there?
Hi Karen! Thank you for the lovely comment. For 60 inches, I would add another 10 inches and used that amount of pegs that you have at 70 inches. The blankets tend to shrink in several inches when you take them off the loom. Also, here is Part 2:

Thank you for watching!🧶🧶🧶🌻
Such a lovely and sweet person you are... and looking beautiful for 70... I have tried the looms but my hands would not be able to use that big loom... I'm eager to see your results tho...
Hi Kay! I thank you for watching. The Afghan looms, in my opinion, are not easy to work with. I am doing my Afghan to demonstrate for those who wanted to know. However, once I finish my Afghan, I don’t think I will make another one on the Afghan loom. Stay wonderful! 🌻🌻🌻🌻☀️
How are you I am been one year hubby pass way love all your video s
