Dishcloth Rake

Here is a picture of the dishcloth rakes I make.

Swedish Weaving

Swedish weaving has been my other "addiction" although I have neglected it since I found loom knitting. Here are some pics of afghans I have made.

Finished Gray, White, Pink Afghan

Well after I got started on this afghan, we decided to convert the garage into a "game/rec room" soooooooo after a couple weeks of building it and playing musical rooms, I FINALLY had time to myself the past couple days to finish this. It was made on my 4 ft S-loom from Cindwood using LionBrand Homespun Yarn (my favorite yarn!!). It ended up 48 wide x 76 inches long (yes I got carried away lol). Homespun yarn has some stretch to it too so it can be "pulled" wider.

Some other loomed items made

Here are a few other loom items I have made. A baby blanket, a belt, and slippers. I have made alot of other things, just didn't get pictures before I gave them away :(

How to prevent curl

You can prevent the curling by doing four different things:

1. You can crochet a border around it.

2. You can do the garter stitch at the beginning and end of the item (top and bottom of item). Garter stitch means one row of the basic e-wrap knit stitch and one row of the purl stitch, repeat twice.

3. You can alternate the following stitches at the beginning and end
of each row.
Row A: Purl 4 first stitches, and last 4 stitches.
Row B: Knit all the way through. Alternate between Row A and Row B to prevent curling on the sides.

4. You can wrap as shown in this diagram
