Thank you so very much for making this slowly. I have been so frustrated and wanted to quit after searching several videos of everyone whizzing through it or had already started or did random and more difficult stitches.
I have been wanting to start back into looming and I had forgotten everything and after watching so many confusing videos, you explained things so easy and slowly that I feel so much better and ready to start my next project! Thank you so so much1
I have the same exact pen and didn’t know that trick to get the yarn through so I’ve but using a needle to shove my yarn through and it would take a good 5 minutes to get it through. Thanks for showing that haha.
Thank you for sharing how to do this. I have the loom but I haven't taken it out of the box yet. I guess there's more things that I want to crochet right now.
Thank you, your video is great, for me who is just starting out, it has been invaluable, because you guided me step by step. I really appreciate you sharing it for everyone.
I love this beginning tutorial and love my loom! Mine stays in my lap and I flip it constantly lol! Also, I use a straw instead of the pen for looping. I cut it shorter... much smoother.
I did two rows then flipped the bottom over like she showed but when I got to the end where I first began do I still flip the bottom one over that had the slip not and if so how do I start it again to go back
I made it into a scarf last year and gave it to my husband’s grandma. And the new one isn’t going my family has been sick the past few months. Thank you for your interest 🤗
I AM FAN GIRLING RIGHT NOW! My co-worker had me look for a video and yours was right under it. I told her, "That looks exactly like someone I went to high school with!" After clicking on her video, I went back and there was your name! I couldn't believe it! I love your videos and you look exactly the same! I hope you are doing well! I would love to catch up sometime! (Leah Mendenhall)
Hi Shaynalynn, in your opinion, is crocheting a blanket the traditional way will be faster than using a (kb afghan loom) to make a blanket? also, how long will it take to make a full-size blanket crocheting it the traditional way?
I think crocheting is faster. When I started crocheting I made a lap size granny square blanket in 3 days. I’ve been working on a new blanket on my loom since the beginning of the year and I only have a skein and a quarter of a new skein on. But I take breaks with my loom. I think tomorrow through Friday I’m going to see how much I can get on with just focusing on my loom. Sorry for the rant 😂😂
I want to get this loom, do you use the e wrap for the whole project? That would be the easiest in my opinion for a beginner, I have loom knitted hats and socks never a blanket
Most people I follow they just decide when they are done. With the infinity loom it measures 60in so you could go to 90in and get close to a twin size blanket.
Hi ShaynaLynn, I want to try the (kb afghan loom), but I will be a beginner at loom knitting. After using this loom do you feel that it is too time consuming for any level of experience with loom knitting? Do you think the round and rectangular looms are better than an afghan loom for any knitting projects?
Yes I still feel like it is time consuming. I don’t knit but I crochet and I feel like crochet goes faster. But I think my next project on this loom is going to be a scarf. I have not tried the other one but I would say they would be faster. This one is mainly meant for a blanket and I think that’s why it takes so long
@@Shayna_LynnI love loom knitting but I feel that the Afghan loom would not be for me because it would be a time consuming just to maneuver and trying to knit different stitches but am going to recommend the flexee loom links ( 2 peg links ) they come in three different gauge sizes, they’re from the same brand KB and inexpensive, make big or small knitting looms just connect them and you are set to knit plus they also have three peg links for when your pattern calls for odd number of stitches, let’s say you have a pattern that requires 41 pegs, you would need 19 two peg links and only 1 three peg link and that would make your 41 peg knitting loom.
@@Shayna_Lynn you will not regret it if you get them, i just finished a pair of gloves that i knit on the skinny flexee loom links, something that was on top of my list but could not do it on the regular looms not the way I wanted it, I also knit a beret hat in one piece, again something that was impossible on the regular looms because on the regular looms once knitted and remove from the loom you need to stitch together the sides to complete your hat if it is a beret hat, the decreases ( removing links ) is what made it possible to be knitted in one piece.
This might be an odd question is this entire blanket an ewrap I started a blanket sith 3m yarn and the way I've been doing it is sets of five and so the first two rows are e-wrap and purl stitch and then the last three rows are just completely wrap and it has made kind of like this boxy pattern everywhere I've looked people are like no you can't just use an e-wrap for a blanket but I don't understand why like wouldn't it just be a square blanket
@@Shayna_Lynn thank you for responding and letting me know I think that it's really hard for people to go from crocheting to looming or least that's what I've seen
Do you have to put yarn on the entire loom or can you just do partial if you want a smaller blanket? I'm thinking it wouldn't matter....maybe hoping...😂
@Ginger McConnell you can do partial I use my whole loom and it's about the width of my queen bed straight across You just pick however many pages you want to use and then around

Thank you for posting! I bought mine at a yardsale and it was missing the instructions. I am super green and had no idea how to use this
Awe great!! 😊
Great help on how to start.
Thank you!!
thanks!
You’re welcome!
For string your yarn with a pen,a straw work great as well. THANKS
Great tip!
I loved this video ! But do you have one where you show how to cast off when your finished?
Not yet. It has been a big request. Hoping to have one up in two weeks
Can we see your blanket from last year please?
Can you also update us on your progress on this new blanket as well please?
I made it into a scarf last year and gave it to my husband’s grandma. And the new one isn’t going my family has been sick the past few months. Thank you for your interest 🤗
You can string your yarn through a piece of a straw instead of buying the pen thing you mentioned. It works great!
I didn’t think of that! That’s a great idea. Thank you 😊
I would really like to try this loom.
I’m making a blanket on it right now with a different texture yarn. I’m interested to see how it turns out

Yea that’s what I have been doing so far. I’m wanting to try some different wraps soon 😊
New to it my s loom has been sitting. I have 2 crochet hooks S loom and 3 sized circle ones. How do you know when you’re done for the right size?
Most people I follow they just decide when they are done. With the infinity loom it measures 60in so you could go to 90in and get close to a twin size blanket.

That’s exciting!
What size yarn are you using?
Size 4 medium weight

Thank you!
@ShaynaLynn do u have a tutorial on how to add a skein of yarn ?
Not yet but I can!
Once you flip them over and get to the end where you first started do you just go back again . A second video would be helpful
Yes but from where you came from. You don’t want to do a continuous loop. It’s more of a back and fourth.
How do you stop it from getting too tight?
You need to wrap it looser. I had problems with mine being too tight in the beginning. Just lots of practice

Where did you get your loom?
Joanns
Whats that yarn pen tool called
Boye loom pen tool
Where can I buy the loom?
I got mine from joanns online
Got mine a few years ago on Amazon
Is this faster than knitting with needles?
I don’t knit so I’m not sure but it is time consuming
When u start is forward back.and thenba back foward
Yep you alternate every time. I need to make a new tutorial that goes through a couple rows
Can you do different patterns
you can I havent tried yet. KB looms have lots of tutorials on their site
How do I cast off so that the ends are the same width. My cast off end is always too tight no matter how loose I try to do my stitches.
Hi,
Is this faster than knitting with knwwdles
I’m not sure about the needles I haven’t learned to knit yet.
I think that is more of a practice thing! You got this!
This might be an odd question is this entire blanket an ewrap
I started a blanket sith 3m yarn and the way I've been doing it is sets of five and so the first two rows are e-wrap and purl stitch and then the last three rows are just completely wrap and it has made kind of like this boxy pattern everywhere I've looked people are like no you can't just use an e-wrap for a blanket but I don't understand why like wouldn't it just be a square blanket
The ones I’ve seen on TikTok are all ewrap that’s what this one would have been if I didn’t give up on it
@@Shayna_Lynn thank you for responding and letting me know I think that it's really hard for people to go from crocheting to looming or least that's what I've seen
@@pitfall69 yes to me looming is a long process and hard for me to complete.
