You're so patient, doing all this tiresome job to knit with a loom (plus a hook like thing, plus extensive use of the fingers to do the job of a crochet hook or something like that) when the exact same thing can be done in one tenth of the time with knitting needles. I really wonder why one should want to go through this. Maybe you just didn't happen to try? Yes, that must be it, can't think of anything else.

I am sorry you feel this way about loom knitting. I am actually an accomplished needle knitter and feel quite comfortable knitting with needle or a knitting loom, and I can even crochet too. Not everyone is able to handle knitting needles, for this reason the knitting looms came to be and I am grateful that I am able to help those who cannot needle knit.

There is an easier way to use the loom but it is NOT the same thing she is doing on this video. An ewrap stitch is NOT what she is doing here. This is a knit stitch and a purl stitch. You use these so your edges don't curl up. If you make something flat like a blanket strictly using the ewrap stitch your items will curl up on the sides. You must put some sort of border all the way around it like the garter stitch (knit, purl, knit purl).

I have a question. If I only want a two stitch boarder when I come to the slip stitch on the purl stitch am I only purling one stitch?

I knit and crochet (though not as well as knit) and tri-loom, too.

My friend does only tri-loom and she's a genius with it, as she is with Swedish Weaving on Monk's cloth and/or Aida and Huck.

However, she just can't seem to learn how to crochet or knit - so she bought a Knitting Board, which is similar to the loom shown in this video, except that it has 'nails' not pegs. The nails are like tri-looms.

She sent me the KB - I look forward to a different way to play.

Like learning new stitch.

Wow, thank you. I was getting really frustrated trying to do this on my own, and the descriptions are not very easy to interprete when someone isn't showing you how. I so glad I was able to follow along with you. Thanks again.

I am so happy for videos like this. I had to buy a kniffty knitter set after injuring my left arm. It makes it easier for me to enjoy knitting and doing arts and crafts with my friends and family easily without the pain or struggle of using needles. (I am twenty just so some of you know)

Thank you for this video! I bought a Knifty Knitter set years ago but only made a bunch of simple hats on it. At the time there did not seem a whole lot more to do with them. But now I see things have changed! I bouht your book after seeing this video and think this flat panel design has me wanting to make an afghan. So I have a question. What stitch do you think would be best to join the panels together? Should I use a mattress stitch? Or is there someting better?
