Wow, that is an amazing deal, and the brand they do not make anymore that everyone loves! Are the pegs interchangeable from one loom to the next?
He looks so comfy and cozy, you did such a great job I love it!ļø
What are torsades? I googled it and I donāt think you meant heart trouble.
They are! I was so pleased. I donāt see myself using the green loom often, but I can always use a peg from another loom if and when needed. To think that I nearly caved in and bought a Boye loom set from walmart about 15 minutes before I found this oneā¦ so glad I controlled my impulses.
It is great when you find exactly what you need at thrift stores. I try to hold out because it eventually happens if I am patient. But this find was so much more specific wooohooo
Thank you I am not familiar with the term ātorsades ?
Wow nice find have fun with it !
Thank you !
Okay I think this is a french wordātorsadesā having to do with a cable knitting Technique.am I correct ? or is it a pants type ? if I guess right let me know lol
Sorry itās the cable stiches in french ! I just could not remember the name in english !
Aha ! thatās fine I figured it out any old way knew it had to do with the sweater or pants lol and I did do cables .
The pants were made on a loom in one piece with a seam on the inside leg only , I worked until I got to the measurements I took for the crotch length then divided the pegs equally for the legs .
I worked 18 rows on the one leg finished it off then made the other leg the same way after that I sewed the inner seam .
I use little rubber bands for my cable stitch markers they come in different colors are flexible and most important cheap to buy lol .
My stiches end up so tight I canāt do it. I need practice !
That is the trick on the loom just make sure you keep the stitches loose in the round before your cable stitch or it wont move . .
Your working yarn needs to be looser in row before cable .
Those pants look awesome!
Thanks ! I think I want feet on them so I will probably tweak them and see what I think and I will go up another loom size on next pair and see what I get but overall I think our shared idea worked pretty good
Yes I do it but itās hard, and my result is not nice. I am sure I will be able to do it with more try !
Yes it will come just practice I tried it the first time on the loom and had the same problem and gave up for a bit then came back to try it again and managed to get the hang of keeping my stitch loose enough for it to work .
