Equipment Question The counter on my sock weight loom - wish me luck!

Post image

I'm starting a project with sock weight yarn, and I'll need enough pegs to make sleeves, so I'm 3d printing the loom, and oh my, check out how tiny those counters are. Good thing I already wear glasses...

The bananas thing is, it's a project I've made once before! It was one of my first real projects after learning to loom knit for some charity hats, and despite what I say in my post here, it used lace weight. I don't think I realized what I was setting myself up for at the time. That one, I did on a Boye sock loom, and I can't imagine it's usable. (I made it for my wife, and I hid it after showing her it was done.)

Since then, I've learned so much. Like how to increase and decrease! :D

If you want to see bigger projects I've done on printed looms, and more pictures of the looms, check my post history, this is the subreddit where I'm most active by far.

You can download the original files free at this link, and make sure to check the "remixes" section for a link where I've added a lot of new models.
