Glad to see you have been making videos again- I have missed you not doing them. Keep making more.

Okay...what if I just saw this video and I've almost got my blanket done? I thought I saw a video where you showed how to "fix" the curling up while it's the blanket is still on the loom....help! thanks I love your videos!!

[@SimplyIntertwined]

I don't think I have one. But you can try blocking the blanket when you are done to help. Blocking involves wetting the project and laying it flat to dry in the shape you want.

I noticed, as you K & P back and forth, you SKIP the end pegs (last peg on either side). Why are the end pegs skipped and not K'd or P'd as with the other stitches/pegs?

[@SimplyIntertwined]

The end pegs are worked as you go back and for so during one row an end peg is worked on as the "last peg". Basically it is the "first" peg in each row that isn't worked on since the working yarn is going off of it.

I'm trying to make more, hard to keep up with demand sometimes. :)

Question...and maybe I am not understanding. When you cast on using the ewrap, is that the first row? Or do you start with the next row (knit) as row one?

[@SimplyIntertwined]

Terry Duncan You can count that as your first row if you want or do another knit rows as your first row.

can I do garter but double knit garter on a loom?

[@SimplyIntertwined]

I would have to look into it.

@@SimplyIntertwined Thank you

[@karenbcz22]

"Cast on the first row" .... "the first row is knit" Is the first row the E wrap? Is the E wrap the same as "knit"?

[@SimplyIntertwined]

Some patterns may state that the cast on row is the first row, some may just say it is the cast on row. E-wrap is a type of Knit. There is Flat Knit and U Knit techniques as well.

what kind of board do you use

[@SimplyIntertwined]

For this video, I used the All In One loom from Authentic Knitting Board.
