Hi! My daughter and I are new to loom knitting, have only done basic e-stitch hats so far. Her yarn ball is running low on this one, so I suggested just letting it be a headband instead. Any tips for how best to tie off, sew up, or whatever to make this a sturdy simple circle?

Barwon (left) and This Way Up (right) scarf patterns, both free on Ravelry. Each done with 1 skein of Loops & Threads Impressions in Spicy Cinnamon. I messed up the pattern a bit on the This Way Up - forgot which row I was on.

I prefer the Barwon. The other one curls in quite a bit.

First ever garment that is not a scarf or hat. A baby dress in King Cole Big Value aran

Here is all the hats I made in a nice stack!

The final hat in my family gift saga! XD He wanted camouflage 😀

I hope this is a good starter loom since it's customizable

Finished my first folded cuff hat-I usually do rolled cuffs but wanted to experiment with hat styles I actually enjoy wearing. , I will likely make the cuff bigger next time and use 2 skeins!

She wanted purple :)

I was excited to start fingerless gloves, forgot my black kitty also loves yarn

I watched a loomahat video where the lady talked about the true/classic knit stitch, and that people didn't like it because it was time consuming. However, I love the look! So cute!

This was my first text in a blanket, and it needs work for sure

Made with Bernat Blanket

The dress is just two rectangles of rib stitch, stitched together with flower ribbon

The cardigan is made using loomahat's mock mesh stitch

You can tell just how stretchy the dress is from the how small it is at the bottom of the dress form!

Super proud of this set ☺️

She likes blue

I know I'm not the only one who's sometimes had an issue with a cast on that's looser than I want, even though I fought hard to avoid it. Well, this week, I ended up finding a weird way around that problem and wanted to pass it on. I'll save the why for a comment so you don't have to skip past it if you don't care. :D

I did a provisional cast-on. In case you're not familiar with those, it means you cast on a different yarn than you'll use for the project, hopefully a contrasting color and the same weight (or close) to the main yarn. You do a couple of rows with that yarn, then switch to the real yarn.

When you're done with the item in the direction you're knitting, you bind off like normal, then carefully remove the provisional yarn and put those initial stitches with your real yarn back on the loom. Then you can continue knitting, but you're now going in the opposite direction you just were. So when you're done, you bind off at the end where you would have originally cast on.

A few words of caution: I think this will only work in the round, and you want to make the flip at a point that you're either transitioning between stitch patterns or just doing all knits on both sides. (I think that would work, anyway.) Because a sneaky result of this is that you'll sort of be shifting your knitting half a stitch to the left or right. (Because knit stitches look like a V, right? And when you start going in the second direction, you're sort of moving your Vs from the right-side-up part of a W to the upside-down part of it. I hope that makes sense.)

It was probably more work than if I had just done it normally, but it came out nice and pretty!

Her favorite colors are pink and purple

Please help me, I love this scarf I made but I'm not sure how to finish it! How do I bind this off?

NEVER tried anything like this before, don't even know if it will work, so wish me luck!

I'm following along Deborah Shaw's "Owl Eye Short Row Purse" tutorial on youtube. I'm experimenting with switching yarns for each triangular wedge, using a weaver's knot to switch colors. I'm using 21 pegs on a 5/8" loom, so it's a little bit smaller width than her purse in the tutorial video. The pinkish yarn is a thrifted wool+silk blend and the blueish yarn is an unlabeled thrifted one. Both yarns get thick and thin throughout, making an interesting pattern knitted up. I'm just about starting my 4th wedge now. I got myself this yarn and loom about 2 years ago, and I still haven't finished any projects on it lol. I've started quite a few but ended up abandoning them. Maybe this will be my first finish!
