Loom Knit Market Bag

[@diogomoreira4826]

Genial! I always did the bag first and then the handle! This way is so much better!

@@diogomoreira4826 Nice! I am going to try that. Thanks for being here and leaving a comment! 🙏🤗

Excellent video Gina! I tried to make a market bag the other day but couldn't figure out the instructions to save my life, this was very helpful! Thank you!

[@GinaLay]

So awesome! I’m so glad! I know you will do great! 🙌❤️ And thank YOU for watching and supporting my channel!

[@pamelajwatson988]

Thanks, Gina Lay! This is wonderful!!! I am going to try it with a #10 crochet thread and see how it works up for a reusable produce bag at the store...I will let you know how it works out!! Thanks for taking the time to put this wonderful video tutorial together and sharing it with all of us!! Stay safe and stay healthy!! :-)

Pamela J Watson Awesome! I cannot wait to hear about it. ❤️Thank you for being here and you stay safe and healthy too. 🙏💖

Very cool bag. I usually crochet market bags but someone in the looming group posted hers. I though very cool now I can loom some too. Thank you for this.

Thank YOU for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! ♥️🙏

[@lorrainemurphy2258]

Hi! Love your tutorial, however to give the bag more strength I will double my yarn of choice. Thanks for sharing

[@GinaLay]

Thank you so much! 🙏💕 That’s fantastic! I would definitely recommend doing that and thanks for saying so. I appreciate you being part of my channel. 😊Thank you!

[@kerrybergenholtz4427]

I am a visual learner...thank you so much for this video.. Very easy to follow...I have made this pattern several times Different sizes...so easy.....thank you

[@GinaLay]

Kerry, Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I am so glad that the video is easy to follow. 💕🙏 That means so much to me! I appreciate you!

[@pattymullin8515]

Great video! I especially love how you made the handles incorporate into the body of the bag. It would be fun to make smaller ones, in my case, and pop little presents and nonperishable foods in them for the homeless or whoever. I'm all 'hatted' and 'scarved' out so this will be a fun change. Thank you so much for posting.

[@GinaLay]

Patty Mullin I’m so glad you like it. 💕 I totally get it about the hat and scarves. Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind comment. Stay safe and healthy. 💖🙏

[@gdsgrl4468]

Thank you for these videos, Gina! I am still a beginner loom knitter and while I love it, I needed videos to watch slower to really get the stitches down. I’ve looked and looked for videos that would fit that need to no avail and then I came across your channel. Now this new hobby that I have is more enjoyable and less overwhelming.

[@GinaLay]

gdsgrl44 I am so happy the videos are helpful. 🤗💖 I love helping and I am so glad you’re here!

[@julieannestark7078]

I feel the same way. If I really want to learn a stitch or project, I always turn to Gina!

Thanks, I needed an *easy-peasy* shopping bag with a _no-sew_ strap. Like another viewer, I'm bored with hats and cowls. Take care 👍🙂💚.

Gina, what's the length of your bag? (strap not included)

[@kathygibson348]

Great video thanks. Iam very new at this. How long should I make my strap or does it matter?

[@GinaLay]

Thank you sooo much!!! 🙏 Welcome to loom knitting! You can make your strap as long as you want. :) 😊

[@knitknack2285]

This is great! I love ❤️ how you are so thorough, for the beginner. Your a great teacher. I never would have figured out socks without you lol thanks for the market bag, I’ve been wanting one for awhile and I have enough cotton 🧶 woohoo. Do you know about how long you made the strap?

[@GinaLay]

Knit knack This message makes my heart happy! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a kind comment! Your support means so much to me. 💕My strap is a little over 20 inches but you can definitely make it longer. Stay safe. 🙏💖

Gina Lay 😊

[@jenniferscelso4998]

I really like this bag. I never heard of the figure 8 stitch. Did you create it? I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing this pattern.

[@GinaLay]

Jennifer Scelso I’m so glad you like the bag. The figure 8 stitch has been around for a long time. I didn’t create it. Thank you so much for being here. ❤️Stay safe.

@@GinaLay you're a doll! Thanks. U stay safe as well.

[@SherylKatz]

Awesome video!! Thank you for your terrific videos everyone loves! New items are a welcome addition. How did you decide the length of your strap? Was thinking maybe a cross body market bag. Would be great at the farmer's market when we can all go out again!! I have Premier cotton yarn 85% cotton 15% polyester. If not that I have regular yarns. Thus is my only cotton on hand. Need more as well as bamboo etc. You also are using a 4 weight yarn on a large gauge loom. All good?? Will it work on any of the KB sets?? Thank you so much!! Stay safe and healthy!!!

[@GinaLay]

Thank you so much! Sadly I never received this message and I’m going through some old messages and found this! Did you ever make the bag? 🙏♥️

[@SherylKatz]

@@GinaLay Hi!! Had to chuckle as this is a year later but am happy to hear from you. No I didn't make that exact bag but made other bags. I hope you start making more videos again!!?? Perhaps some on the Flexeelooms!!?? It has been a game changer for loom knitting IMO!!

[@GinaLay]

I’m super happy to make you laugh! 😂I know it’s late, but I just had to let you know I felt so bad! 😭♥️ Right now I am in a season where I am not able to loom, my son has severe special needs and he has gotten worse (since Covid).🙏 Perhaps one day. In the meanwhile I have started making easy cooking videos. They are a lot easier for me to make. I enjoy this community so much. Thank you for your kindness. 🙏 I hope you will still join me in the cooking videos and I would love to see what you made on your new loom. ♥️

[@SherylKatz]

@@GinaLay wow that is very full hands 💐🙏💕 would you please send me a DM on FB msngr?? Same name. Blessings tobyou and your beautiful son!!

[@TheEjk1979]

Did you create this original market bag pattern? I'd like to sell my market bag & give 100% proceeds to a charity & I wanted to make sure I gave the right person the credit for who created original pattern!

[@GinaLay]

Hello, Yes I did. Thank you! That is so nice of you to ask.♥️ How awesome that you are giving your proceeds to charity! 🙏💕Thank you for being here. It means so much to me. 😊

[@berlyndaphillips8817]

Did I miss something? How many rows of the strap are we knitting. I didn’t hear it in the video. Thanks for doing this by the way. 🙂

[@GinaLay]

Berlynda Phillips Hello! :-) You can knit it as big as you need to or want. I will measure the length of mine and let you know. Thank YOU for being here! ❤️🙏

[@berlyndaphillips8817]

Gina Lay I thought that might be the case after I went back and started finishing my strap. But thank you for sharing the length of yours as a guideline for “us” beginners 😜. I love that I found your channel.

[@GinaLay]

Berlynda Phillips Absolutely! I am so glad you’re here! Thanks for watching! 🙏💖

[@alexandriaromero2673]

I just made this bag with 100% polyester yarn and all the weight of everything I placed in it stretched out to the floor? Does it have to be 100% cotton for that not to happen??

[@GinaLay]

I’m sorry. I am not sure because I have never made it with any other yarn. 🧶Maybe someone else who tried with polyester yarn could answer.😊🙏❣️

[@Sandy-ju7qb]

Did you change stitch somewhere? It looks like you went from a figure 8 to something else but I can’t hear any mention of it. Thanks

[@GinaLay]

The strap is a knit/ purl. Other than that it is only a figure 8 stitch. Thanks so much for watching!! :) 🙏😊🌈💙♥️

Your facebook link does not work. Awesome loom knit project!!

Thank you! 🙏 Thank you for letting me know! ♥️

[@chrissyodonnell1507]

Am I able to use acrylic yarn size 6 for this or it has to be smaller ?

[@GinaLay]

You could definitely! It will definitely be thicker and less of a “market bag”.

[@heyemma23]

Hi is there any way to do this on a 40 peg loom??

[@GinaLay]

Hello! You can absolutely do this on a 40 peg loom! :-)

[@floviem9730]

Love this pattern! Do you happen to have a pattern for a water bottle holder?

[@GinaLay]

Flovie M I do not, but Loomahat does I believe. ❤️🙂

[@cherylharvey54]

Ms. Gina...I am getting ready to attach the strap to the other side, bur I noticed you are only using 6 pegs. Did I mess up and count wrong?

[@GinaLay]

Hmmm do you remember how many you started with in the beginning? It shouldn’t be a huge problem as the strap will just look bigger on the one side. Does that make sense?

[@bailey-io5fr]

can u do a video on a face mask ty

Hi Gina The bag you made did you do on big loom with 41 pegs figure 8 stiche For thr handle can you please write the pattern down for me please and how many rows Thanks the Geelong
