LOOM KNITTING Worry Worm Pattern and Poem

[@sandpipersouth3766]

I'm a beginner. I have viewed all sorts of videos to use these looms. Yours are by far the best I've seen. I am now subscribed and grateful to have found you. Your instructions are easy to follow. For a beginner, this specific and understandable presentation is so completely appreciated. Thank you for your help. Hopefully by this time next year I will have created a scarf and maybe even a matching hat for everyone in my family. Stay well, stay safe, and God Bless.

[@Elaine_P_Smith]

Thank you very much for this worm. My 14 1/2 year old service dog just passed away. I'm going to make one of these for me and add some of his fur through the worms body (sympathy worm). When I'm done grieving I will let the worm take care of my worries.

[@lissanne9769]

I'm thinking about you and feel for the loss of your very precious service dog. Most people don't understand how much more of a true loss this is. I'm so very sorry. I fine it wonderful that you will weave the fur into your sympathy worm, and then let it go. You are a very special and valuable person in this world. Bless you.

[@donnaslove325]

Elaine, I’m very sorry for the loss of ur service dog/bff ( best furry friend ). I know this is a tremendous loss & pray that u will be ok. Love ur idea for ur worm. Ur in my thoughts & prayers. Blessings & prayers, Donna🙏🥰💕

[@lezliewhite6053]

Elaine I too have a service dog. He is 10 1/2, I can't imagine the pain an sorrow your going thru at the loss of him. I truly dread the day that Webster will due. Your in my thoughts and prayers..God Bless 🙏💕 Lezlie

[@Elaine_P_Smith]

Lissanne, donnaslove325, Leslie White; Thank you for your kind words. I pray that nobody ever feels pain and emptiness like this. My whole world came crashing down the day Cheeko passed away. He was never treated like a dog, but like a member of my family. I always tried to make him feel comfortable, protected and very much loved. I really appreciate the prayers. Thank you.

[@donnaslove325]

@@Elaine_P_Smith u r so welcome & I totally understand ur pain. I too have lost fur babies & the pain & loss is the same as if it’s a human family member. Mourning ur loss is as powerful as with a human. Allow urself to grieve. Sending u love & hugs & prayers. Donna

I love the way you instruct. You make people less stressed about loom knitting. I bought your pattern but I’m not really a seasoned loom kitten so some stitches names I don’t know. I’m going back on the channel n learn. Oh by the way with my kitty boy you’d hear crashing in the back ground lol he’s into everything lol. Thank you for sharing this.

[@beckyrose962]

What a lovely little project and fantastic little gift as our young ones go back to school in the UK. Easy and discreet to pop in a pocket for them too x I love this x I often get overwhelmed with big projects as I have a condition that means I fall asleep without warning, unfortunately I keep knitting... This would be good but I don't really knit the stitches and have ended up with what looked like a spiders Web... I then get frustrated and have to start all over again. So small projects, and fun ones like this really make want to pick up a loom x

[@kathylobonc9310]

Thank you for doing all the work for us! They will reach so many more worried little hands because of the time you spent and shared with us. Thank you for being so generous is sharing the video for free and giving us an option to purchase the pattern and have the little cards too.

Totally my pleasure! Thank YOU sooOOOOOo much for the feedback it's greatly apprecite - BIG TIME !!!!

[@cheryldeane6338]

Well, I am 55 today and my big sis gave me a crochet one for my birthday! I’d never heard of them before but loved it. I can’t crochet for toffee so hoped I’d find a pattern and here I am, just made my first worry worm, 45 minutes after discovering your video. I will be donating all I make to a fabulous charity called Wrap Up London who collect donated coats and distribute them to the homeless during winter. Along with beanie hats I’ve made, I think a Worry Worm will be a nice addition to the coat pockets to be discovered. Thank you for an easy to follow tutorial.

[@LoomaHat]

AWESOME Cheryl! I totally agree they would be wonderful for the homeless community. 💛💛💛

[@FashionWithShannonA]

I found some looms in a thrift shop years ago and figured out how to make my own scarves (they curl at the ends, but I don't care). Finding your channel and the easy to follow videos is a total gem to me!! So _sooo_ looking forward to playing with my round looms - as well as the long ones that I found more recently! :) Thanks for sharing so wonderfully. Blessings, Shannon A.

I saw this worry worm about a month ago…but it was crocheted and I never did that before…I really wanted to make one so I stayed with it and after starting over about 20 times…I finally made one…My first crocheted piece…it looked good…I was so proud of myself…heeheeehee… but now you figured out how to loom knit one…. That is so awesome…. With my carpal tunnel in both hands I will be able to make quite a few of these and it won’t take as long…can’t wait to start on one… again thank you sooo much….❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lezliewhite6053]

OMG Denise these are so stinking cute!!! I'm bipolar and I'm going to make a bunch and leave them at my mental health clinic for either my doctor or his nurse to pass out. These will also be good on a Oncology ward for both children and adults alike.

[@dideelala4794]

[@cavrs99]

Thanx for this very cute looming idea Denise! I am making these worry worms for my 7 grandkids whom are all under 10. They will be stocking stuffers in their favorite colours. I will glue the eyes for some of the kids fidgit worms and sew buttons on the other half. Such a fun idea and they are so much fun and quick to loom also!

[@LoomaHat]

Oh Michelle you’ve made me super HAPPY!!! I love it love it love it. This is exactly what I hope folks do with my projects. Spread some love 💕 AND 7 grands - you are highly blessed 😇

[@ItayaArt]

I love this for my little grandson with autism. I’m thinking it might help to sooth him when he’s feeling anxious. I would like to use either some beads or buttons that are round with a single shank on the back and sew them on versus gluing. I have a feeling the eyes wouldn’t stay on very long if not sewn on in his case. Thank you for this pattern! 💕

[@kristhekris8930]

I'm probably going to make one for my grandpa. He can't see very well anymore, only in blurs and colors, so this would probably be good for him. He'll be able to feel what it looks like. The one thing I will probably change is to sew on buttons for eyes instead of hot gluing googly eyes so they are more firm. Thank you again.

[@LoomaHat]

Kris I so totally love your idea ... Beatiful just BEAUTIFUL. Your grandpa is super lucky to be so loved. 💛

[@kristhekris8930]

@@LoomaHat I did make it but it's not as good looking as yours. I did use the left over cast on to tighten the coils so now my mom wants me to make her a green one so she can pretend it's a snake.

[@fourschmidtsincali]

My kids have a loom they barely used and now I'm thinking I want to play with it!! When I learned to sew, Grandma taught me a little trick. Use a thread at least twice as long as you think you need. Example, instead of one thread 18", use a 36" piece of thread. Fold the thread in half so now you have an 18" length of 2-ply thread, one end is the loop and the other end is the 2 raw/cut ends. Thread the two ends into the needle. Instead of tying a knot in the thread (which leaves little dangling ends) Insert the needle into the fabric and make your first stitch but do not pull the end with the loop all the way through. Make your first stitch and now you have the needle back on the same side as the loop end. Put the needle/thread through the loop and draw the first stitch snug. Voila, no knot, no loose ends. Continue sewing as usual.

[@daniellelawson1279]

Hi, I have a question I love the idea of this Project but can you do color changing worms in more than one color by changing the thread partway through or instead of using number for yarn? Used to spices of number three. I’m a big Harry Potter fan and I’d like to make Harry Potter themed worry worms which require you to use two colors.

[@LoomaHat]

You can but this is a very small item and hiding a knot would be problematic. Also I wouldn’t recommend changing colors in the curly section.

[@daniellelawson1279]

@@LoomaHat Thanks for the advice is the Curly’s section the one where unit the one peg five times or is it? Where are you slip and do the two pegs. I tried using this exact pattern and knitting with two strands of worsted weight yarn. It came out a little bulkier, but I think it came out OK it didn’t curl as tightly as yours working with two strands but it was the only way I could get two colors.

[@LoomaHat]

Hi Joe! Try kniting less repeats on the peg. For example - do 3 instead of 5. We don't all have the same tension so sometimes the fabric will act differently. Also, make sure that your yarn isn't too soft. I used Red Heart. Hope that helps.
