Hi Renae! Thank you for watching and thank you for the lovely comment. We all learn in different ways and at different paces. I add timestamps in the description box for those who want to skip ahead. And there are some - myself included - who would like to hear and see the process a few more times before moving forward. All the best to you this day - and every day!🌻🧶🌻🌻
This is probably THE best cast-off demo video for loom I have EVER seen. Your instructions are SO clear and easy to follow. Your camera and angles are great and you explain everything in a way that’s so easy to follow. I also love that you demo a stitch or a process multiple times. Thanks for making this channel!
Hi Brenda! Thank you so very much for watching. I’m glad that you like the bind off and find it helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶
Looking for something relaxing, purposeful, and meditative to do during medical treatments, I thought loom knitting might be a good bet. Over the last two years, I've knitted many hats and scarves for refugees and homeless people. Who taught me how to knit? You did! You're a wonderful teacher who knows how to present instructions in a friendly, encouraging, and clear manner. Thank you!
Hello oldschoolcorps! Thank you sooo much for such a lovely comment. It means a lot to me. I appreciate you watching and am happy that the videos have been helpful to you. What a wonderful thing to knit hats and scarves for those in need. I wish you continued success and all the best. Thank you!🌻🌻🧶🌻☀️
Thank you for sharing and teaching your skills. I have learned so much from you. You are indeed a ray of sunshine in these strange times! I find myself feeling happier just watching and listening to you. Again, Thank you!!!
Hi MsGer! Thank you so very much for watching. Yes, these loops were talking to each other!!!😁 I am happy that they made you laugh. Thank you for this lovely comment. All the best to you!!🧶🌻🌻
Wambuii. I have a loom knitting group for beginners and I honor your videos which I have in there. My loom knitting group is called mama looming for beginners. I have over 400 now. My members say that I also explain easy for them to understand. I only like beginners there so it doesn't discourage them. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I was going to make videos like you as I have close to 20 years.
Hi Catherine! Wow! You are doing great work. Congratulations on such a large beginner group. Thank you for sharing my videos. I am happy to hear that your explanations are easy for your group members to understand. That is important and they are fortunate to have you to guide them along. Thank you for this wonderful message. May God continue to bless you! 🌻🌻🧶
I can't stop watching your videos, you are excellent! I just started learning how to loom and really love it. You teaching style is slow and stop on, love your voice. :)
I would like to know what the pattern stitch you have used, I do like it? Thank you for the chain stitch cast of, bu do love the pattern you have on the loom.
Hi Sandra! Thank you for watching. I did a chain stitch cast on and then just alternated between one row of knit and one row of purl. I think the yarn gives it the richer look. It is Lion Brand Hometown USA. # 6 bulky weight. Acrylic, color: Miami Seafoam. Thank you, again.🌻🌻🌻🧶
This was very interesting! Big fan of your channel! However, I'm not sure if I see the difference between the the basic cast-off and this one? are they the same with different names? I'm still new to loom knitting. I would love to start a project with a chain stitch cast on but I'd like to do the correct cast off, so I searched for a good vodeo about. Thankfully you had one.
Hi Yandolito! Thank you so very much for watching. I am happy that you find the tutorials helpful. The main difference between the ‘chain stitch cast off’ and a regular cast off is that the chain stitch cast off is a little more uniform and tends to be a little neater and matches the cast on Row better. However, you can loom knit many things - and have great results without using the chain stitch cast off. However, if you are really adamant about the cast on row matching the cast off row then the chain stitch cast off will make that match better. I hope this all makes sense.🤗 I hope you enjoy your loom knitting journey! All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶
Love your videos!! I have a question: every time I make a hat using a circular loom, doing “eWrap” all the way, a diagonal line appears in my hat. It almost looks as if I made a special stitch. I can’t figure it out. Thank you.
I had the same problem with my first several hats. On each pass of e-wraps, I stopped e-wrapping that first peg... Essentially making the second peg my first peg. I hope that makes sense, I am not sure how else to explain it though LOL
Hi Claudia! I have not experience what you are describing. It appears that Erin was able to relate and sent helpful information yo you. If you still have some questions, you can use this link to upload a photo to our gallery. That way I can see what your ‘situation’ is. You only have to give an email the first time for security reasons. No other info is needed. Once your photo or photos are uploaded you will be able to provide a caption. In that space add your name or anything that you want me to know. I will look at it and delete when I have seen it. The link is here: dropevent.com/WambuiMadeIt 🌻🌻🧶🌻
Hi Erin! Thank you so very much for helping Claudia with the diagonal line issue. I have not experience that, so am not able to be very helpful. I asked her to send a photo so that I could see it. All the best to you!🌻🌻🌻☀️
Claudia, thank you sending the photos. I have looked at the photos of the hats you sent. I have not seen this happening before. I am going to play around with making some ewrap hats in different ways to see if I can figure out why it would do that diagonal line. 🌻
Hi Mary! Yes, I love the Paparazzi jewelry! I was selling it for a while. I don’t sell it anymore - but I still love it! Can’t beat the price! I wish you much success! Have a joyful day!🌻🧶🧶
Hi Wambui...been using this chain stitch and love it, it's so neat. Thank you. I do have a question if you know. I want to knit a blanket on my 41 peg loom (don't have a bigger) and I was wondering if you knew to tell me how wide it would be? I can control the length but I'm not sure how to know how wide it would be. Thank you again..your great 🤗🇬🇷
Greetings that is a very good question. Besides the peg count, it will also depend on how thick the yarn is and the distance that the pegs are from each other. For the loom gauge, measure the distance between the pegs by measuring from the center of one peg to the center of the next peg - this is the gauge. If you send me the gauge of the loom you are using - and the weight or thickness of your yarn -and the type of stitches you will be using, I can give you an ‘approximate’ answer as to how wide the blanket will be. Ok?
Thank you. I haven't picked yarn yet. My loom is the basic 41 peg that was a set of four and I'm planning on maybe doing one row knit and one row purl. So I was also thinking I can make two big pieces or 3 depending on the size and then knit them together. The result being for a double bed. The gauge seems to be a little over one and a half. I'm not going to use to thick of a yarn the reason is I dont really enjoy knitting with very thick yarn, maybe a 4ply and maybe double it if necessary. Thank you again sorry if I'm tyring you...have you ever made a blanket on a round loom?
Here my is my estimate: The largest swatch gauge loom that I have is 3/4 inches. Using a 41 peg loom, 3/4 in gauge, 5 weight yarn, Alternating rows of Ewrap and purl will = About 20 inches or 51 center meters wide blanket. What I recommend if you want to be more accurate is this: Once you have the yarn you are going to use, loom knit with everything exactly as you intended to make your blanket - loom knit about 2 inches - cast or bind off the exact way you intend to cast off your real blanket - and then measure the width of what you have. That is going to be perfectly accurate. I hope this helps. I have a feeling your blanket is going to be wonderful. Let me know how it goes.👍🏽🌻🧶🌻🧶🧶🌻☀️
I feel like it's a looming sin that this bind off isn't shown or recommended enough. It was mind blowing doing it the first time and less stressful than the basic bind off. Also a QoL tip to the others for tightening the freshly loosened loops, place your pinky behind the peg and then tighten. You basically just want to x2 the size of each loop and the pinky is pretty reliable for 5/8 to 3/4 Guages. It's also easier to have consistent loops when you judge tightness of a loop against your skin.
Hi Lil Puddin!! Thank you for taking the time to leave such insightful comments and suggestions. I like the idea of using the pinky to help give uniformity to each loop. Thank you so very much. I will pass it on. All the best to you!!🌻🌻🧶🌻
I think what I like best about your tutorials is that you go slow and repeat youself often. Thank you.

Good night
Hi Wambui...been using this chain stitch and love it, it's so neat. Thank you.

Thank you again sorry if I'm tyring you...have you ever made a blanket on a round loom?
Great! Ok. Give me a few hours - it is 8:30 AM here in New York City. I will send an ‘estimate’ to you at round 4pm.
Thank you Wambui. Please take your time. Its 3:30 PM here. No rush. Have a great day.
Here my is my estimate:
The largest swatch gauge loom that I have is 3/4 inches.
Using a 41 peg loom,
3/4 in gauge,
5 weight yarn,
Alternating rows of Ewrap and purl will =
About 20 inches or
51 center meters wide blanket.
