Can anyone explain the concept of putting the scrap yarn there? Do you keep that scrap yarn there for the entire time that you are loom knitting? Thanks!

I'm trying to do this design on my kniffty knitter but it looks really messy where the ancor rope is. Do you use the crochet hook to the first row like you do with the last row to bind them off?

@Althena2006 Did you finish your project? It looks messy until you crochet the loops together that were held together with the anchor yarn. I usually knit about 10 rows, then crochet the end together according to the directions and pull out the anchor yarn. Then, when you tug on the bottom to pull the stitches down snug, the bottom doesn't get even more loopy looking! (c;

There is no "simply" to this technique! I'm trying to follow by the DVD I purchased which actually shows the overhead view and I'm still none the wiser. My loops are so big they're making loops and look more like a tangled mess! It doesn't show different stages of the length of scarf either. Just the first couple of rows. I think I'll just go back to old school knitting. I could have finished a scarf that way in the time it took me to try to figure this thing out.

I wish the lady didn't cover up what she's trying to show us - I'm honestly none the wiser.

why do you go half way down and then go to the other end and work toward the middle?

[esthermlaw]

@Pernellsfaithfulfan I think it's to prevent a big loose loop appearing on the edges. If the big loop is in the middle, the yarn has a chance to wiggle around and even out while you're working your piece. I haven't knitted with a knitting loom, but I am an experienced knitter.

How do you fix the cast on loopy stitches. Mine are still very loopy on the cast on side.

[esthermlaw]

@imend2004 I think you just keep knitting and trust that once you have more rows, the yarn will even out. I've never used a knitting board but I have used knitting looms and am very experienced with knitting needles.

you guys should do an above view

[goddessroxie]

can this design be used on a knifty knitter?

[jeremytalladega]

@goddessroxie hello i have been knitting on the knifty knitters for almost 2 years now and you can use any stitch on the knifty knitters that you see here . i did just buy the knitting board as well and i am having trouble with seeing her stitch because her hand is in the way. i have made many things im just not sure of the stockinette i mean i get it but the last where you are suppose to turn around i cant tell where she is putting the yarn cuz her hand is in the way.

Respond to this video... you could although i havent tried this but you could on you tube where you search just search loom knitting stockinette stitch i bet they would have some kind of video that shows better views.

@goddessroxie Yes, the cast-on and weaving methods are the same for both loom types. The plastic looms have wider spacing between the pegs, so you might want to try a bulky yarn or two stands of lighter weight yarn. I made a nice scarf with one strand of RedHeart Super Saver (std wt) and it came out very light and almost fluffy. Then I crocheted a border of contrasting color all around the edges to prevent the loops from getting hooked on things when worn.
