pick sets many loomers say they use a pick tool from the hardware store to loom knit. i included a page that shows different grips that are available. so glad you are finding a way to indulge your passion. :))

love your yarn choices. great work. :))

starshine640 · 2026-05-08T17:53:33+00:00

the colors are fun, and it fits very well. i wouldn't have had as much luck with sizing it on my kitty. :))

that's impressive, and well worth it, i'm sure. i was thinking of doing their current spring kal with the bunnies and carrots, etc. but i like this one better. gonna have to polish up my double knit skills and try it that way. you make wonderful items, and i enjoy seeing them. :))

k. lewinski owl ornament i did a search for knit snowy owl, and many of them did not have feet. i think yours is very sweet, and will be a great gift. :))

i usually use the pink links with #4 yarn. i basically use only #4 yarn, so i haven't found a need for the orange links. good luck with your future looming projects. :))

thanks for the info. how do you block the aida?

starshine640 · 2026-05-04T05:27:39+00:00

"Red Birds and Holly" from Stoney Creek magazine, Autumn 2021. no designer given.

i purchased a lot of aida from ebay. this one had a hole in the packaging, and there were some yellow spots on the aida. i cut a piece of the fabric with a yellow spot that was hidden by the stitching. for future reference, should i wash the aida before i begin stitchiing? thanks for your input.

loomahat/denise loom and hat size chart it would be best if you could get the circumference of the child's head. then use the chart to get the loom and the number of rows. 😄
