Loom Knitting Knifty Knitter – The Basics Of Looming!
I’ve been knitting on circular needles for a few years, mainly store-bought ones, but I recently brought back my grandmother’s old equipment, including a couple dozen circulars.
The problem with them is the fact that the cables are very stiff, and curled in eclectic ways, making knitting on them an absolute nightmare.
Is there any way I can neaten them up, straighten out the curls? I’ve tried soaking them in warm water already, didn’t do much of a difference, sadly.
I’m a little new to cable knitting and every time I knit a cable swatch, it always comes out sloppy. There’s always loose stitches around the cable and then the actual cable part comes out too tight even though I didn’t pull the stitches that tight. What could I be doing wrong and how can I prevent this?
I am new to knitting. I am making squares for “Relay for Life” for cancer.
In this video you will learn how to use a couple of different methods to join two pieces of squares, swatches, or anything you knit that you want to come together to form a finish piece. Its usually used when you want to make a seam to join the front and back of a sweater, or panels of a hat. This video will first show you how to ‘weaving method’. This is my favorite because it is almost invisible, and it makes a strong seam. Second method is the ‘running stitch’. This is an easy way to bind your two pieces together. With this method you have an option of either showing the stitch for a fun color contrast, or flipping it inside out to see a seamless seam. Third method is the ‘whipstich’. Its similar to weaving, but instead you whip back around to stitch. So instead of sewing front to back then back to front, you would sew back to front whip back and sew again back to front. Itll make more sense when you watch the video. This seam gives you sort of a bounded end. Fourth is a modern edgy look using safety pins. Definetly not grandmas style.
Generally speaking (i know it all depends but give me examples) how long would it take for a flat knitting machine to create an average sized t-shirt or garments?
I can somewhat read a knitting pattern and would like to know how to use the knitting patterns I have on my knitting board. Can anyone help?

I’ve been searching online for AGES but I can’t find a free knitting pattern for a baby hat that includes hearts! I want to knit my friend a hat for her baby (she’s due this winter) and I want it to have hearts in a different color from the main color. I could embroider it on or knit it in as part of the pattern, but I need a pattern, because I’ve never done hearts before. Please help me find some good patterns!
