I got a Knitting loom set

This is the set I have but I also ordered the 12 peg one to make booties. The set you have there will make preemie hats with the smallest and newborn with the second to smallest. This is what I have found anyway. :blush:

I know what you mean. I have to be very conscious of how tight I’m holding it. I think I’m starting to get the hang of it but in every project I’ve done so far, I have found myself wanting to do it too tight at some point.

I went to my gf’s house this afternoon. She was having a crafting get together after our church womens’s meeting. I went over with my looms. Oh my word…it takes forever. I think I’d rather be rooting LOL

You could go buy one but you wouldn’t have the satisfaction of knowing you created it isn’t that what crafting is all about ? :smile:

That is why I have not bought a loom. I figure I would end up with no time to paint… or maybe only loom at night? lol

I did however buy a circular knit machine from Micheals for half off and still getting the hang of that… but it is one size… sorta 6 year old head size… unless you gather both ends and make a ā€œreversibleā€ hat without adding length then it seems to fit a baby size… and I am still trying what yarn works best and have seen bad reviews about this machine but I paid like $30 so whatever :wink:
I have made 3 items and yesterday’s try had dropped stitches so made me irritated. I have been trying it out before my 5 and 4 yr old wake up in the mornings.
If I can find the right yarn that works best I have some cute ideas I want to try to make

Yes I am the one that used the 8 peg loom for a premie. They fit snug. I used regular yarn. But if you used the stretchy yarn I bet they would be a perfect fit

Cute hat and booties @Kate
Another pretty dress @LillyBellesBabies

@Vanniek you get faster the more you Loom

I think I’ll stick with hats, booties and dolls. Everything else is too frustrating, lol! It is addicting though!

Video for bonnet I followed for the previous pictures of Punkin the trim was tedious to do not difficult just tedious .
I will probably use the pattern again however I think I might go with a larger loom I used the 24 peg it fits however it is snug also I didn’t care for the cast off used when finished so I will probably change that too .
