- Warning: Video is LONG. I should have broke this into 2 videos. The first part covers the different kinds of looms. The second part is instructional, demonstrating loom knitting a sock. Coming soon are Loom Knitting a Hat (EASIEST project!), Scarf and Afghan (using a KB afghan loom).

Wonderful video! Even easier than my former favorite with a better toe!! Thank you!
So happy we could be helpful! Thank you so much for visiting with us :)
I so much love that big bag you made❣️
That was fun to make! Thank you so much for visiting with us today :)
Gosh! Love your tote made out of sari ribbon! I get yarn from DGY also, this is great!!!
DGY is awesome. The tote was a fun project. I've found you can loom knit sari ribbon into almost anything you'd normally loom knit, but the key is to do large, loose loops and a lot of patience! lol. Thank you for joining us today :)
Hi! I am wanting to learn to loom!!! I am going to watch all your videos!! Keep making MORE videos!!! I love your channel already! Bravo!!! TIA!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! I hope you do give it a try. Once you get the hang of it, it's so much fun!
so this is how you made the beautiful socks you sent me! very cool! Thank you!
Glad you liked them
great video 💯
Thank you so much for visiting with us today!
your video is different as to the heel. and i want to try it, but i could not follow along at all. it seems that you didn't show or explain enough. i know it's my fault. do you have a tutorial on just the heel? i don't want to do other people's heels cuz it seems to difficult to me. i know i can do a tube sock, but our knitting group is making hats and scarves and socks for the homeless, so i want to do a good job. i have made socks on the 24 peg 5/8th gauge on the round loom and it's just not the same. so i have a square 44 peg loom with 3/8th gauge. thank you.
It seems more complicated than it is. You basically work on the corner of the loom, going back and forth in continuing shorter than back to longer rows and it leaves a gap for a few rows until you attach the heel back to the full tube sock. It does take some practice...a lot of practice at first! Some people learn better having written as well as visual instructions. Try this site and see if it makes it click for you! I know I always need both written/visual to make new concepts stick :) Thank you for visiting with us today! knittingboard.com/heel-and-toe-process/
@@CanterburyTrailsFarm thank you for your prompt reply. i'll try that site out.
I love your videos! Quick question: what size sock does this loom make?
The non-adjustable one fits I'd say a woman's 8 to 10 shoe size. The adjustable sock looms are the best bet for doing different sizes and men's sizes. Thank you so much for visiting today!
Hi there! How many pegs for you and your daughters size socks,, I am the same size so are my daughters! 💗🙏
KB has a blog that has the formulas. Under "How Many Pegs for a Sock?" blog.knittingboard dot com I don't remember exactly the number of pegs on the loom I was using in this video. I usually just eyeball it. This loom in the thumbnail is a non-adjustable sock loom and I use all of the pegs. Probably 32? but I don't want to say without going back and seeing which loom I was using or digging out the loom and I don't have time to do either of those today. But, the KB blog has formulas to work out the measurements. Thank you for joining us today :)
Was able to follow all the video except for the heel part.. Lost on the heel part. 😕
So sorry. Is there a particular question you have that I can try to answer? Heels seem difficult until you get the hang of it. Essentially, it's working on a corner of the loom, and then you reverse in decreasing rows to get back to the full "tube". Thank you for watching today :) Happy New Year!
@@CanterburyTrailsFarm thank you ! I think I got it figured out.. 😊
so you don't leave any pegs unwrapped when you're doing the heel? you know, like when you start the decreases and the increases, then leave a middle part unwrapped. am I correct in assuming this? What I want to be sure of is how do you calculate how many pegs to do increases and dec on. urgggh I hope I explained this right as for you t understand what I'm trying to say. But I loved this video and it taught me a lot. Thank you. please reply.
I'm having a little bit of a hard time determining the exact question, sorry! Yes, there are pegs left unwrapped and you're only working on a corner of the loom until you're ready to "go back around" and work on the rest of the foot of the sock. I think I state in the video which peg # to begin the heel on. I'm glad I could help you in the video. I'm not sure I helped much in answering your question however :( Thank you for watching today
www.knittingboard.com/heel-and-toe-process-page/ This is from the loom instructions on their website. It might help to read it, look at the diagram and then watch the video, referring to both. Some people are visual/auditory learners (auditory learners do well listening to instruction), some are reading/writing learners, while still others are Kinesthetic learners and learn by doing. I tend to think most people are a combination. I need to read AND watch instructions. Or at least watch and then reinforce with written instructions. Everyone is different :)
@@CanterburyTrailsFarm Thank you again for replying. I need to read and watch too. see, that step 5 on that link you sent quote " Continue wrapping and working back and forth until you have wrapped 2/3 of the heel pegs. For example, if using 26 sts for the heel, this means that the first 9 stitches are wrapped and the middle 8 are unwrapped, and the last 9 pegs are wrapped" I didn't see you doing this. You decreased to the middle and then started increasing. No unwrapped stitches. This confused me. Please don't take this as a negative comment of mine because I really loved what you did and still taught me a lot.
The unwrapped pegs are the part of the loom not being used. I decrease, then increase. If you left the middle unwrapped you'd have a hole in the center that you'd need to stitch closed. There might be different stitches used as well. I'm only using an E-wrap stitch (which might be where differences in the wrapping are occurring. )There may be multiple different ways of doing a heel. No offense/neg comment taken :) There are so many ways to do every kind of project and all of them are interesting!
It would be better to view from top down.
Thank you for watching today!
