    I'm a beginner to crocheting...I found Melanie's channel by searching beginner crochet and was so happy that I found someone that is a pro at this but at the same time knows how to teach it through video. As I searched through more of Melanie's videos, I came across her husbands video of her life battling cancer. This broke me to tears. I wish her whole family a lot of love and happiness in the future. To her mom and Dad, Thank you for raising such a bright, kind and full of life daughter that will go on teaching her crafts forever. I will continue to watch Melanie's videos so she can teach me many more projects. I lost my brother 15 years ago to cancer, he was 39. I don't know why this happens to good people and I struggle to believe that it is all a part of the big guy's plan, but we have to keep the faith. I have truly prayed for your whole family for forever love and peace. Thank you, Dione

    Just happened to find this today looking for a pattern for loom hats. It made me cry. So very 😢. I hope her family are doing ok but I imagine they are going through a very hard time- her kids are so young-she was so young! You’ve left a beautiful legacy sweet girl, that will live on and keep your beautiful creations going on. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I am a senior citizen and was browsing you tube about loom knitting. I found this channel. I looked for more things that Melanie did online. Incredibly talented. I did not know she had passed away, to young. As I know my mother died when she was 30 and I was 13. I will keep you in my prayers and the whole family. Take care.

    This is a wonderful tutorial! I have crocheted all my life and wanted badly to also knit, but I just can not get comfortable doing it. I got some knitting looms and found them extremely easy to use. I even taught my 2 kids. It is really nice to find such a great tutorial showing some other techniques! I will definitely come back to this and use it as a guide. I recommend these to everyone. If you do not want to invest in one right away, although the can be found fairly inexpensively, your local library will most likely have a bunch that you can check out! I am in a small town and just found that my library has a ton of different knitting looms to check out. Also, just a fun fact, knitting was originally always done on a loom! Crochet was invented for shepards out in the fields and knitting was done at home on looms! It wasn't until more recent times that knitting started being done on 2 needles. The original portable yarn crafts were Crochet and Nailbinding.

    thank you for doing this video I'm fairly new to loom knitting I love it. I have figured out a knit stitch the yarn is at the back and a perl is at the front. I've made a hat that I didn't follow any pattern and it's OK I've done 1 leg warmer lol and I've done a baby blanket ( on a straight loom ) for my great niece. I'm currently working on a blanket for my great nephew and a new hat.

      Hi Peggy, I feel the same way! I have been crocheting all my life and I just can not get comfortable knitting! I understand it, I can do it, but it feels so awkward, hurts my hands, goes so slow, and I get lost easily! A couple months ago I got some of these knitting looms and they're wonderful! I spin yarn and taught my older daughter to spin as well. I tried to teach her to crochet but she was having a hard time. These knitting looms are so extremely easy to use! Immediately she was able to make herself a cowl using her first skein of handspun! I am finding great tutorials, like this one, for various techniques. I definitely recommend trying one. Your local library will usually have them to check out too!

    it is 41 pegs, i believe. For round 2 and all the ribbing ( brim ) to get the ribbing sequence correct...start with a KNIT, then PURL, continue around K, P, until you get to the last 2 pegs. You have to end the round with the last TWO PEGS MUST BE TWO PURLS in order to start the next round with a KNIT.
