Knifty Knitters!

[motleycruiser]

anyone here done any felting?

I've got a skein of wool yarn, but no idea what I want to make with it. I want to felt what ever I made, I think. LOL

it's like 220 yds.

I felted my pantas.

If you use one strand with your project it comes out pretty dense after 1 run thru the wash (I was using patons classic wool which is 100%)

I love the KK. I have a rectangle one (the purple one) but it is giving me fits!

Thankfullly the round ones are wonderful!

Ive made hats, & I love it!

I would love to learn how to knit by hand *I even purchased the knitting needles, but havent learned yet!*

so thankful to have found this place

My daughter has one. I bought her the three ring set. I'm thinking of making a skirt for myself, it's a fun toy.

I have recently started using a knifty knitter, and was wondering if anyone else uses a loom?

I started using this because I can not seem to teach myself how to do it 'the old fashioned way'...

do a search of the board for knifty knitter or loom knitting, you'll get tons of results.

a loom is all i know how to use!

i have only made scarfs and hats. i bought a special loom (non knifty brand) for making mittens but they turned out crazy bad.

i have the four pack set for the round looms from knifty and then i also bought the long rectangle one. that is what i use to make scarfs.

i've attempted to make a drawstring bag with the kiddy size hat (the blue round one i think), it is supposed to be a gift for a friend, but i'm not sure how i can close it or attach ribbon/string for the drawstring, or if i want a liner in it. i just thought to search for knifty knitter forums tonight and i see lots of other projects people are doing so i may start to try those.

wow...sorry to write you a novel. but good luck with the knifty knitting. i love how perfect the end results are and best of all, i understand how to do it! i don't know if i could knit for real; i've never tried or had anyone try to show me.

Loom knitter here, who can't needle knit. LOL

On the drawstring purse, you should be able to put a drawstring through the finished edge (the beginning). Then gather like a hat at the other end to close it up.

Speaking of drawstring bags on the little blue KK loom, I recently got around to trying an idea I had last summer and made a dice bag with a woven bottom. The idea worked, but it took a long time to make the bottom and it didn't look quite as good as I'd hoped; in retrospect, I should have saved the time and just made the dice bag like an inverted baby hat. I just mention it as a variant form of bag in case anyone is interested.

  Would you believe I just read all 22 pages! 

I just recently purchased KK and have taken my first project apart 3x. The first and second times it was just too loose; the third time I had it wrapped too tight and I couldn't pull the loops over the pegs. Getting ready to try it again.

I came across this site trying to find instructions on how to change colors. (and tips on even stitches!) I'm making a scarf for my sister using two different skeins in two different shades of blue. I want to do stripes on each end and am knitting the middle using one strand for each skein.
