A place to share...

It has been a few years since we all began this wonderful KnitWit journey and we are all thankful that God has taken us along on the trip!!!
This blog has been started so we can share ideas and encouragement in this craft. Loom Knitting is seeing its resurgence in popularity. And for those who are new to this, pattern reading can seem a daunting task. We have all learned so much from each others' unique designs...

So, please chime in!

2.   Continue e-wrapping all rows making sure to e-wrap one additional peg at the beginning of all rows returning to BOB.
3.   After your first 4 increased e-wrap rows, bind off the 14th peg. (that is your first peg wrapped/ added after the sash) to bind off peg, simply move over to peg on either side and knit over.
4.   There should now be the 13 pegs of the sash, an empty peg and 3 wrapped pegs.
