ok i don't know where to go but i've heard once you tear the thread it's no longer salvageble is this true and how do i keep the pegs from coming out

[lovelylittlelife]

Question, where can I find an infinity loom? I have looked at Meijers, Wal-mart, Hobby Lobby, Joanne fabrics, Micheals....is there a site on line where I can buy one?

[lovelylittlelife]

@lovelylittlelife ok not an "infinity" lol I meant a "serenity"

[Reeses104]

how many stitches do you usually use for an adult then? like how many stitches is the adult loom?

[flutist218]

Cute at :49, you're crowned like a li'l princess, lol! Seriously, thank you very much for posting these helpful videos! I have those looms, but never worked with them.

You changed my mind now...

[allstarrocker100]

Actually, the dark pink (or yellow loom, in my kit) can make hats, but you would have to use 100% wool, and then shrink it with hot water. My homeroom teacher teaches knitting in after school.

[ILoveSyncro11]

Well it's okay...but I made a hat and I'm 11 and the light pink was a but big and I made a hat in the green loom and I was better.

hi i have recently made myself a hat using the loom that also fits your head, using 2 strands of wool like you always advise and when i put it on it fits but its is very holey in between the ribs. do you have any suggestions on what i can do to prevent it? thanks mikey! keep up the fantastic work!!!! x

[ptsgrl2495]

@LittleMissJennifer84 i wonder if doubling up your stitches would help? instead of wrapping yarn once wrap twice....i have seen mikey do this before......

[LittleMissJennifer84]

@LittleMissJennifer84 thanks for getting back to me, i was wondering how would you wrap twice? do you have a video i can refere to? im finding it hard to imagine how and when to wrap twice. thanks for your help :)

[Zambaku]

What do you use the largest one for?

[ptsgrl2495]

@Zambaku the big ring is used for placemats, table runners, shawls, scarfs, and panels for afghans...just to name a few.... you just use as many pegs as you need to make the project as big as you want.....and just because its round doesnt mean you have to make it join all the way around to make a tube effect all the time you just stop before you would join and go back the other way! :)

hope this answers your ?

so if i wanted to make a lose kinda beanie would the light pink one still be okay? or something between that one and the dark pink?( if that is even possible)

[ptsgrl2495]

@SandyySantos.... I would go for the light pink loom......the dark pink one is way to big and i dont think there is another size in between!

[luvsuncat]

Ah if it had not been for your demo, I wouldn't of had a clue how to size mading a hat! Thanks so much for showing how these looms work:)

[meglyo8]

=( The adult ring slides over my head way to easily! I wear a kids helmet when I ride a bike... so I guess I will try the child size loom

[kimmy8729]

[vboogee]

Your tutorials are great!!!! I follow them for everything that I make. I am a beginner and I love you.

PS Where did you get your tshirt?

[MsBuglady]

Can someone suggest a brand of yarn that is "stretchy" for hats??

[kyddoemiko]

I would like to see some of your finish work done with the loom thank you for the info on making a hat .

[chaoselvira]

thank you Mikey,this video helped me a lot ,and i love hats....

[CeeKaySee2]

I've learned that unless you are using very stretchy yarn (Hearts is not stretchy enough) that the small loom is not good for even newborns. Preemies maybe but I sell baby hats and tried making a few with that smaller loom and they said they were a bit snug.

[mothershelper1981]

I'm glad you said that because I want to make preemie hats and thought the baby size would be too big.
