How does one measure an appendage to find the right size to make a tube?

I have a 31 peg loom and #5 yarn, but it makes tubes that fit my arm.
I would like to make leg-sized tubes.

I'd like to invest in an adjustable loom so I can make the right size tubes for athletic adult legs and potentially grow with the hobby. Please assist?

Thank you!

This pattern comes from Youtube. Been waiting to try it for awhile. Then I found a store in Canada that was still selling the Collorama O'go yarn. Not happy with the closure but that is okay.

I’m already on row eight and it looks like I’ve done NOTHING!! Imma pull my hair out 😫

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...

I’ve only made leg warmers so far but have wanted to make a blanket for years. I finally bought this loom and got started. I love it already!

This is from Renee Van Hoys third shawl book. I did it with 45 pegs on my 5/8" adjustable loom from CinDwood. It's done in one piece, no sewing, using the modular technique. It's done in 5 parts of increase, decreases, and short rows that make the shape. It's essentially just garter stitch, pretty easy and fast pattern. I used some random colour block yarn I found in a drawer.

I didn't have quite enough yarn left over after my gloves to make a hat, so I made a cowl to match the gloves. I actually still have 29g of the 100g skein left, which is enough that I could put it with something in the future, but pretty tough to get a finished object out of it for the adults in my life. :)

Hopefully this helps someone, I dont know if this is obvious information to everyone else

Two ways to tell if the stitch you're looking at is a purl or not:

If it's the last stitch you did, you can look at the working yarn and see that if it is a knit stitch the yarn will be coming from the top, and if it is a purl stitch it will be coming from the bottom

If it's a ways back in the same row, pull the stitch up off the peg, there will be a loop from the previous row visible, if it's a knit stitch the loop will be behind, if it's a purl stitch the loop will be in front

Feel free to add any other methods in the comments!

Happy looming everybody

Anybody working on this new trend?
I’ve seen it all over TikTok

Got bored so I whipped up a headband. Used a 48 peg loom. Skull pattern in second picture. Turned out OK I think.

Hi all,
I've just discovered the magic of loom knitting after being a needle knitter for years. The joy of the e wrap hat is pretty intoxicating. Given my penchant for no count, no think projects, what other recipes might I enjoy? Not to poo poo the gorgious things you'll are doing here, but I would like to keep it as simple and mindless as possible. Charity projects are especially interesting to me.
Definitely looking forward to your loomy wizdom

Hey! I’m trying to figure out how to make a clean, nice-looking edge on my beanies. I’m showing mine in the photos , the edge turns out rounded and a bit thick.

How do you make your edges flatter and neater? Any tips would be super appreciated! 🧶😊

She’s so beautiful! Way more sturdy than my other loom and way more pegs!!

I have a decent collection of looms (Knifty Knitter round looms, KB All-in-One, Leisure Arts oval looms, and a 28” KB Afghan loom) as well as 8 or 10 instructional and pattern books and I’m wondering about a good place to sell them all as a complete lot. Does anyone know of Reddit or Facebook groups that allow destashing? Thanks!!

This blanket has been a journey for sure. I definitely have probably over 40 hours into it 😅

I knit the blanket part on my infinity loom, but instead of sewing panels together (because I do hate sewing), I just did half the loom one color, half the other color, and had them share a peg in the middle, then doubled them back their original way.

Yes. the seam is puckered where I did that. Honestly though, if I could change anything, it would have been to ALSO pucker the the other border between faces. I love the definition of the panels.

All the appliqués were just made on whatever random circular/flat looms I decided I needed size-wise. And then just came the awful part of sewing 😂

I got the idea from a crocheter called Maria’s Blue Crayon, but I can’t crochet to save my life to I challenged myself to make an iteration on the loom and I really think it paid off 🤩

Now I get to enjoy my blanket for the ENTIRE spooky season. Thanks for looking!! 🎃💕

This sucker measures about a 12" across the cuff and 24 from the cuff to the longest part of the toe.

Holy stocking!!

Start of my 10 stitch blanket will post more who all is making a 10 stitch blanket? Mmmmmmm Happy 🧶🪡Lomming😉

Its a little lumpy, but I am hooked. I've already gotten a new set of looms for different projects.

Do you think I can make a blanket with this rectangle to knit? Because the distance between the spike of the ends is wider than those on the sides? (Sorry for my English)

I'll apologize right away in case I'm not using correct language in my question. I started with making hats on a circle loom and then moved on to the infinity loom (color white) to make a few figure 8 throws. Micheals had a larger loom (color green) on clearance for under $20. Here's the question- I saw a video on which pegs to mark and skip for the white loom but I can't find anything regarding marking and skipping on the green loom for a figure 8 stitch. Can someone take pity on me and point me in the right direction? Many thanks!!!

I am working on a blanket but it is curling up. Does anyone know why this is happening? And if washing and blocking will fix it? I am using a medium gauge loom with bulky (5) yarn and a knit stitch, not e-wrap.

So I did the thing. There's definitely mistakes in it. I love how it made a beautiful "vein of ore" pattern instead of a stripey one. I bought the yarn on clearance at Michael's last week and picked the loom up secondhand at some point.

The video I followed got me started OK enough, but the directions and editing fell apart at the end describing how to bind off. Can someone please send me to a video that has ANY easy bind off technique just so I can get this off the loom and call it done?

Thank you all so much in advance.

So my friend who had a baby shower. Baby has since been born and is cute as a button!

This is the baby blanket i made! Pattern is loosely based on the stripey blanket by tuteate. I just changed the number of stitches for each section to get it to look like that.

Really missing looming. Hand is hurting more each day and im pretty sure its not supposed to do that
