I have been thinking on corkscrews for some time. There are a few other tutorials online loom knit corkscrews. But I have been wanting tight spirals similar to crochet corkscrews that are not limited to the number of pegs on the loom for the length or using lots of decreases. The other day while looking at a picture of an i-cord, it hit me. A 2 peg modified i-cord. Got out a loom and proceeded. Got it on my second try. First try, the yarn was not bulky enough for the loom gauge. Found a heavier weight yarn, and it worked! Oh happy day! Had some trouble with my borrowed video camera though. There is audio static. Not happy at all... But it does get better after 10 seconds or so. I will try to remake the video whenever I can acquire a different camera. But the video is recorded. The tutorial is written. And it's all uploaded to Ravelry in one nice downloadable file here. Or find the video here. Enjoy!

Loom Knit Shawls: From Simple To Sublime $12.00 Five loom knit shawl patterns and their variations will take you from a simple small shawlette on a large gauge loom, to a delicate lace weight yarn confection made on a ½ inch gauge loom. All the patterns may be made on a single 60 peg ½ inch gauge hat loom. Variations include yarn weights of lace, fingering, DK, worsted or bulky. Designs vary from simple garter rows to beautiful flowers and geometric treasures. Shape your shawls in a classic full V-back, a long ruffed crescent, a Faroese half circle, or a petite shawlette. PDF download includes 3 files: a 52 page, large print version; 20 page, 12 point paper saver; and a separate photo gallery file, to let you print the patterns the way you like to use them. The Patterns 1. “Sweet on Ruffles” This sweet little shawlette is a great way to loom knit a shawl if you are not quite ready to work with finer weight yarns, or want a fast, simple project. The shaping techniques used for a larger V-back shawl are the similar to the shaping used for this shawlette, but you are working with bulky or worsted weight wool, depending on your loom size. This pattern is perfect for learning short row ruffles, practicing blocking, and enjoying working with a pretty variegated yarn. The shawlette may be worn with the point in the front, tucked into a jacket, or with the point in the back, showing off your ruffles. The “simple” version of the pattern omit’s the ruffle. 2. “Peaceful Day Shawl” Peaceful is a large, one piece V-back shawl made on a 60 peg, ½ inch gauge knitting loom. After blocking, a small crochet edging may be added to the shawl. The lace rows may be placed any where you please within the shawl pattern, or omitted entirely in the “simple” version. 3. “Diamonds in the Ruff(les)” Diamonds is a long, crescent shaped shawl that wraps around, and around your shoulders. It is made on a ½ inch gauge loom with 59 pegs. Diamonds may be loomed “simply” without the diamond lace panel. With the lace panel, a beautiful design is centered across your back, topped by gentle ruffles. Without the lace panel, softly shaped crescent shawl with a gentle ruffled edge is created. 4. “Hydrangea Petal Lace” Light as air, Hydrangea may be made in lace weight yarn using 58 pegs on a ½ inch gauge loom. Hydrangea is a full V shaped shawl that will fold delicately into a lovely neckerchief or wrap around all the way around your shoulders and back. If you are not ready to work with lace weight yarn, make a “simple” version of the Hydrangea with fingering weight yarn and use the 50 peg option given in the pattern. 5. “My Fair Faroese” My Fair Faroese is a half-circle shape made in 5 sections. To create a Faroese on a knitting loom, the shawl is loomed from one corner to the other, using 4 triangles and a straight center section. My Fair Faroese creates a medium sized shawl, that falls above the waist, and wraps nicely around your shoulders. Pattern directions are given step by step, row by row. If you are not comfortable working in fingering weight yarn, you may make this pattern “simple” by using DK weight yarn.

Last June, I started exploring translating concentric crochet techniques on the knitting looms which resulted in several different coaster designs. The first attempt was Patriotic Coasters, followed by Watermelon Coasters, Sunflower Coasters, August Sun Coaster and finally Hexagonal Granny. All of these designs just mimicked crochet stitches, but each one took me a little closer to what I was trying to achieve - to translate actual crochet stitches on the knitting looms. At the time I had so many things going on that I didn't have time to just sit down and physically experiment with the looms, so I did a lot of mental knitting. It's a wonder that I didn't have a wreck, because I knitted in my mind while driving, in doctor's waiting rooms, in lines, at government buildings, on long weekend drives and laying in the bed at night. All this resulted in the Granny's Rose square and a new technique I fondly call "loomchet" was born. When I first completed the Granny's Rose, which produced actual crochet stitches on the knitting looms, I had hoped the tutorial would be ready by last September. However, I'm a champion procrastinator and extremely absent-minded which is a recipe for disaster. It would probably be lost and forgotten had it not been for Kelly Jones from Kelly Knits, who stayed after me to complete the tutorial for the loomed granny squares. She also test knitted and proofread the tutorial for me. This is Kelly's granny square scarf she made for her husband's grandmother. (BTW - The loomed granny square scarf was Kelly's first experience with crochet of any kind.) The Granny-on-the-Loom Tutorial is listed under Loom Knitting Techniques in the right sidebar. As stated in the tutorial: This tutorial will show you how to make a simple granny square by incorporating two pegs on the Knifty Knitter Looms to produce crochet stitches. This technique is presented to you as an alternative way of crocheting for those who either never learned how to crochet or for those who experience pain when crocheting using conventional methods. It is also a handy technique for quick embellishments when loom knitting. Word of warning, like any new technique, the two peg stitch technique is a bit fiddly, but the results are well worth the effort. For best results, gather your supplies and find a quiet spot, then work through it as you read the tutorial. It is not a difficult technique, but it does require a hands on approach. Hopefully, there will be a video demo before too long. In the meantime, be good to your granny!

What a great idea! Freeform knit and crochet - no mistakes. You can use any colors, any stitch, any shape, and it all works. I love this idea. You create little collage patchworks of knitting and/or crochet, and then attach them to an object. I love the idea of renewing an old tote or purse by covering it with freeform. Or giving a sweatshirt new life. Heaven - no worries about color matching, which is nearly impossible for me. Lots of ideas for mixing in techniques, like adding in flowers from Daisy looms or other flower makers. Thank you Freeform for making my mistakes into art.

This is the easiest baby sweater pattern you will ever find for the loom. This sweater was made on the KB All in One loom, which has a gauge of ⅜”. The pattern assumes that you will be using #4 weight yarn and e-wrap with a gauge of 4 stitches per inch. There are no fancy stitches, just knit and purl, no shaping and straightforward seaming. The sweater is made in 5 pieces - the back panel, two front panels and two sleeves. The pattern is sized for newborn, but it’s easy to adjust for an older baby or toddler using a sizing chart and dividing the measurements by your stitch gauge. Every panel and both sleeves will be edged in a garter stitch for 4 rows. BACK PANEL Cast on 32 pegs K 1 row P 1 row K 1 row P 1 row Knit every row thereafter until piece measures 10 inches in length FRONT PANELS (MAKE 2) Cast on 16 pegs K 1 row P 1 row K 1 row P 1 row Knit every row until piece measures 10 inches in length SLEEVES (MAKE 2) Cast on 26 pegs K 1 row P 1 row K 1 row P1 row Knit every row until piece measures 6 inches in length ASSEMBLE: The front panels will be seamed to the back panel at the shoulder. However, only half the width of each panel will be seamed, with the other half being turned down for lapels. I find it is easiest to set the back and front panels on a table with the WS facing up, and seam from the middle of each front panel to the armhole edge. You can either fold the front panels in half or simply count 8 stitches from center of the front panel to shoulder edge in order to make them even. Seam the sleeves to the body of the sweater by placing them, WS facing up, with the center of the sleeve at the shoulder seam. Seam the sides of the sweater from bottom up and down the sleeves to the wrist edge. You may need to block the panels before seaming if they are curling at the edges too much. It will make setting the panels evenly much easier, but it’s not essential. Finish the edges of the front panels and collar area with a row of single or half double crochet. You can crochet a chain to use as a tie, or add a ribbon. Crochet a flower to attach to the collar lapels or embellish any way you like. It’s a basic pattern that you can make your own by using multiple colors, striping, or adding unique finishing touches.

Row 1: Slip first peg, purl next peg, knit last peg. Row 2: repeat row 1. Row 3: Increase row. Move the end loops over 1 peg so you have a loop, an empty peg, a loop, an empty peg and a loop. Slip the end peg, wrap the peg, knit one, wrap the empty peg, knit one. Row 4: Slip, purl, knit, purl, knit Row 5: Repeat row 4. Row 6: Increase row. Move end loops the same as in row 3.

Slip the first peg, purl, knit, purl, knit Row 10: Slip. Purl, knit, purl, knit. Row 11: Decrease row. Repeat row 9. You should be back down to 3 loops on your loom. Slip, purl, knit. Row 12.

Stand me in the corner, because I'm a bad student. I was suppose to be working on Ann Bipes Easter Bunny for LoomClass this week, but I had already started my own bunny design on the Knifty Knitter blue loom a few days earlier. The blue loom was the loom needed for the LoomClass project so I knew I was in trouble. I only had a few rows of my own project completed on the loom and could have removed it to do the assigned project, but I had several new techniques that I wanted to experiment with and I was afraid if I didn't do it while it was still on my mind that I would completely forget. The results of my bad behavior is Blossom Bunny, a loom knitted bunny with a soft sculpted face. As stated earlier, Blossom was made on the 24-peg blue Knifty Knitter. Starting at the tail end, I used a drawstring cast on (see the Easter egg pattern), worked six rows of flat knit stitch, plus two rows of u-wrap stitch and then closed the bottom area using the drawstring. The largest part of the body was completed with eighteen e-wrap rows. For the neck area, I decreased using the flat knit stitch by k2tog across the row. When I reached the end of the row, I cut the working yarn leaving a six inch yarn tail. Decreasing this much on a loom is usually a problem, but by working the decreases using a flat knit stitch the tension can be adjusted to accommodate the stationary pegs while knitting and later by using the cut yarn tail as a drawstring. Leaving another six inch yarn tail in the new working yarn, I continued to flat knit the twelve pegs with loops and cast the working yarn on over the empty pegs. On the next two rows, I flat knit all twenty-four pegs to complete the neck area of the head. Continuing with the head, I worked twelve rows of u-wrap stitches, three rows of flat knit stitches in the nose area and ended with open gathered bind off. The body is stuffed with fiberfill using a knee high stocking as a liner. The neck area is cinched from the inside to the desired size using the yarn tails and then tied off. Pull the stocking liner into the head area and continue stuffing. When the stuffing has been completed, the gathered bind off is cinched shut and tied off. Other parts include the legs, ears, tail and face. The legs were knitted from feet up using the drawstring cast on and sixteen rows of flat knit stitches on the 8-peg end of the Knifty Knitter spool loom. The ears were worked as a flat panel on the blue loom starting with eight rows of six stitches, then increasing a stitch at the beginning and end of row nine and knitting a total of eight rows with eight stitches. The ear is completed by k2tog at the beginning of each row until only one stitch is left on the peg. The tail is a big white pompom stitched over the initial cast on spot. The face is soft sculpted, which really brings the bunny to life, with a pink embroidered nose and big brown wooden beads for eyes. Now that Blossom has been completed, I'll do the Anne's Easter Bunny so Blossom will have a friend. UPDATE: Here's the Easter Bunny from Loom Class:
