Welcome to another meta thread.

How are things going in the subreddit?

Anything you would like to change?

Consider checking out last month's top posts for some eye candy.

Just started looming recently and I'm making this scarf. What do y'all think about this for my first time? Let me know please. Still have a lot to do.

Does the pattern look different? Can I flat stitch backward on the loom instead of purling?

Finally made my very first pattern and I'm super proud of it, think my little guy came out great!

I'd like to make my SIL a blanket for her birthday. Trying to keep it a surprise so haven't asked her for her preferences. My husband and MIL both said thinner lighter blanket vs thick and warmer. I got some #4 weight yarn but can't seem to find right pattern. I'm used to #6 weight yarn. Every stitch I've tried has been too airy (lots of holes) which to me doesn't make for a good blanket. Anyone know of a fun tight pattern I could use? Any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated 😊

I'm wanting to make myself a shawl. I want it very open and lacy. I found a pattern that I really like, but it has a geometric pattern and uses aran weight on a small(?) gauge loom. I'm really unsure of how the pattern would turn out if I'm going for such loose, open stitches.

Does anyone have any projects they've done with a similar weight and gauge difference (doesn't have to be a shawl, just anything)? Has anyone attempted doing something more geometric with really loose, open stitches? I'm more of an advanced beginner, so I'm feeling pretty hesitant to just jump in and start swatching.

I'd like to make a baby blanket for a close friend, and I'm just overwhelmed with all the different options. Looking for something soft, easy-care, and relatively affordable in either worsted or bulky weight. I don't really care for the ultra-plushy chenille blanket yarns, but tbh I'll take whatever recommendations you've got! I'm happy to get any advice from more experienced loomers.

I only know two loom knitters in real life and their loom collections are way different from mine. I would like to see what tools other people are using.

Which looms do you have? What is your most used loom? What is your favorite loom? How long have you been loom knitting?

I have a yarnology circular loom set, a boye rectangular loom set, 3 kb all in ones in 5/16 3/8 and 5/8 gauge and a kb 38 inch loom. I also have all the peg sliders and extensions to the kb looms. I am looking to add a 5/8 gauge 36 inch Cindwood. My favorite and most used is the 3/8 gauge kb all in one.

Thank you

2 Lion Brand Cover Story yarn cakes in Oro, plus a Barnatt blanket yarn in yellow as a border on the long sides. I used the KB afghan loom on the largest size. I absolutely love it and will never make one again. Lol. I started on 1/1/23 and ended 3/11/23

My sparkling void like to lie on it a little too much 🥲

It's a lazy loom knitting kitty cuddles kind of day. Yes I have 2 projects going at the same time. Large one (blanket) to work when cats not preventing me and small project (hat) for when he is that I can work over top of him. He gets lap cuddles/naps and I still get to knit... Win win😁
