Welcome Fiber Arts Friday visitors.
So my project this week was learning to use a knitting board or a knitting loom. It turns out I really hate this thing. Everything I’ve read and watched showed this to be a simple tool for people who can’t knit. (Even kids can use it they boast) Yeah well I must be a slow learner when it comes to simple tools.
The concept was simple. Wrap the loom and hook over the thread, wrap again and hook. Easy as pie. Heck no. I started my scarf 8 times before I was mildly happy with the cast on and first few rows. For the life of me I cannot get the first few rows to hold tension and the stitches are so loose. About 5-6 rows in the stitches look much better and are more consistent.
Thankfully with creative photography my work looks brilliant! I’m going to give this trinket a few more tries before I decide to totally trash it.
