Knitting Help - Knitting Repair Loom

[@kathykempema1549]

Katrinkles has so many very cool tools and notions. If you’ve never seen them in your favorite LYS, ask your shop owner to check them out! This loom is something new I havent seen, and I appreciate the review and how-to video! Well done Stacy and all the pups!

[@MG-mp8rw]

As always, very well explained, I never knew there were repair kits for knitting. Thank you very much for the link and demonstration

[@karenhanson4207]

Loved your demonstration of the repair loom! I've never seen the Katrinkles version so it was nice to see how that one worked. I have a Speedweve type loom and it seems to work more or less the same way except the little hooks at the top switch directions to help lift the leg of the stands you're supposed to weave under. They also really help to keep the yarn from popping off at the top. I'm like you... I know there are many other ways to repair knits, but these little looms are by far my favorite!

[@colleenmadsen5391]

How exciting to see your basenji. I have two many years ago. Also, thank you for the loom demo, I have seen them advertised and am pleased to see how effective they are.

[@dawnhaun7208]

I too am easily entertained 😜 I have repaired a few sweaters but used a light bulb and seems like I caught the knitted fabric when I passed the under leg. However I just had to go by memory from watching my Nana when I was very young. I love watching your videos!

[@IslandLady76]

I've been waiting to try this when I could figure it out. Thanks for this you made it simple

[@elliesr]

Thank you for sharing this with us. That's a great tool. I've always used the darning egg my mom gave me years ago. The process is the same but you start with catching the loose loops first to make a circle or square, your perimeter, then use those stitches to lay your warp. ❤

[@ahc1957]

I do my knit repairs by grafting the stitches. I pick up stitches in and around the hole. If the hole is quite large I use a double pointed needle to hold the loose stitches. My repairs are done in a similar way but it is sometimes an invisible repair if you use the same yarn. I guess it depends on the outcome you are looking for. Visible as an "embellishment" or incognito repair. I never used this type of weaving loom but it is very interesting.

[@cathryncampbell8555]

I love weaving on small looms, so this is Perfection! Thank you, as always, for a moment of 'Knitting Zen.'

[@GaminGawdess]

Ohhhh… I gotta go shopping! I love the fact you have a handmade item that tells the tales of your fuzzy babies.

[@micheledelacruz4301]

You make everything look easy and fun! I'm going to look for holes now so I can try this. Thanks for a great tutorial. Have a blessed weekend everyone.

[@jeanneaddis4975]

I made a blanket for my granddaughter when she was born. She is now 5 years old and as you can imagine the blanket has holes all over it. I tell her Nonna will knit her another one, but she cries and says “nooooo I want this one forever” I will be purchasing this item. Jeanne

[@katedorman7042]

What a FUN and COOL repair! It was mesmerizing to watch.

[@karinberryman2009]

Holes in a pullover from dog teeth beat constant lacerations on the hands from an over anxious young mutt. That sweater is a beautiful yarn as well as color!

[@ycb6537]

Thanks, never seen repairs done on a loom comb before. And I like different color patches myself, which gives that well-worn/loved look to the sweater.. Awesome.

[@kat1984]

I just ordered one, I snagged the sleeve on my favorite fingering weight sweater a few weeks ago and this will be perfect to fix it. I wasn't sure how I was going to repair it, I love my Weekender Light

[@donnas9599]

Thanks so much for this. What a great gift idea for my knitting sisters-in-law!

[@mariehansen2534]

I have not seen these darning looms type things before but then I don't go out much either. I have my Great Grandmother's darning mushroom. This little kit is cute and you make it easy to use. I am going to look on Amazon for one of these because mending should be fun, right. Thank you as always for sharing your knowledge, clever lady.

[@joannsteinly5325]

That was so cool! Watching you work was very relaxing. I think I may want this new toy...I mean tool. Thank you!

[@weavingrainbow9063]

You could also look for tapestry needles with blunter tips, or you could blunt your needle with sandpaper, but your method works!

[@rebelrose7337]

You are such a great teacher! I had to have one…bought one! 😜 I wish I had known about this before I sewed the toes on my hubby’s baseball socks. 😒 oh well, now I know! Thanks so much for sharing!!! 💖

[@kathyffarney-keck8593]

A comb can press the weaving evenly. Like the tip of holding the waddle down towards the finish. Also, I use a finer non super-washed yarn to repair socks. The patch doesn't make itself know as a walk and eventually walking on it makes felt.

[@peggyw172]

That kit is so clever. Thank you for the review!!!

[@camellia8625]

Moths had a party in my favourite jumper so have done this by hand with metallic crochet threads going across in a single colour and used a mottled multicolour effect slightly fluffy yarn to do the vertical threads and it turned out really well - it gives a softer effect than a solid colour. If that is what you may be aiming for.

[@audreyburman3023]

Oh, wow! Always wondered about repairs in knitted pieces. This was a super interesting video. Thank you for sharing!

[@pawlah]

I have been waiting for this review! Thank you for such a clear demonstration of the repair loom. I really appreciate it.

[@Knits-WIPs-N-Chains]

I will forever think of that sweater as the puppy love sweater. 💞

[@TheFroggie66]

Ahhhh! I have been so curious about the two different major brands of repair looms. Oh, Instagram ads….how you do know me. 😜 This settles it, though. I will be ordering a Katrinkles repair loom! 🥰

[@angieanderson6082]

Neat! Thanks so much for the tutorial on how to use that little loom I’m seeing everywhere! 😉

[@mjrdjr1]

I knew you were planning to do a review of the Katrinkle and have been anxiously waiting. Thank you so much for the live demo. You make it look so easy and fun. I didn’t know about the larger warps so I have some shopping to do to complete my kit. Thanks for a great review.

[@timapriess2773]

Thank you. Very well explained and I always appreciate any mistakes that you make that are so easily fixed. Confidence building…I just took a workshop that showed how to repair in without a loom. But I’d bought this Katrinkle loom several years ago and didn’t know how to use it since I’m not on Instagram. One complaint. you should’ve panned over to your dogs’ guilty faces.

[@judyfeatherfreme]

I just order the loom and can’t wait to get it. I have socks with holes and I think this looks like such fun! Thanks Staci!

[@rebeccabrown1240]

Genius. We have a cat who thinks she’s a goat. Can’t wait to try this to repair her naughtiness!

[@laurenmiller3886]

I love your videos Staci ❤ Thank you so much for this demonstration. I am definitely going to purchase on of these repair kits.

[@ZenCoryCat]

Thanks so much for making this video! I saw these and could not picture how they work! AND it looks so good!

I have so many socks I've made that have holes! Thanks for this!

[@janision8525]

another great video! interesting that you wove thru with the eye of the needle...very clever

[@karenb136]

That was fantastic! I want to try that. What a neat little gadget. Thanks for showing how to use it. 😁

Hiya Staci, I'm a long time subscriber, first time commenter! Just wanted to let you know that you tube had "unsubscribed " me from your channel. Of course I've hit the subscribe button again, but l wondered if this was usual for YT?! I'll have to be more vigilant. Thank you for everything that you do and teach us. Believe me your knowledge and sharing is very much appreciated. Best wishes from Nova Scotia. ♥️

[@verypinkknits]

Oh, no! I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I know that YT "unsubscribes" inactive accounts, that's the only possible explanation I have. Glad to have you back! :)

[@alisonsanderson1770]

@@verypinkknits Well the very idea! I'll have to keep an eye on my subscriptions. Thank you for letting me know about the YT thing. Well l never really left, but l shall make sure l watch more often now that lve retired from a lifetime of nursing! I can settle down a little now. Oh, and by the way, l think that sweater should be worn outside too! The more patches the better, l say! Thank you once more.

Watching this video, when you mentioned that at one stage it was a pocket, this technique COULD be used to add a pocket!

[@kobila100]

Thank you for this video. Your explanations are always so clear to follow. I have a question for you…Can I use this loom to repair a hole in an afghan which I have knit as DOUBLE KNITTING?

[@boblowney]

it kind of reminds me of the scarecrow in the wizard of oz. Some of him may well have been patched the same way!

[@elainegallagher4395]

Hi Staci. I think you know Sign Language bc you use your hands and fingers to make letters and numbers the way Sign Language Signers do.
