I have just found your channel and subscribed. I searched out A LOT of looming tutorials for scarves before starting my first one a couple days ago, but your's are by far the best I have seen! You make it sooo easy and I love that your camera is super close in so I can see what you are doing. Your way of explaining is very good!

This is an awesome project. Thanks for the tutorial on blocking too. You truly make it look so easy. I love how neatly & beautifully the garter stitch looks after blocking. The striping looks great.

Hi Noraida! It is always a pleasure to hear from you. I appreciate you. I am looking to find a little bit of time to enjoy the diamond painting you introduced me to. Love it! Need more hours in my day! Stay wonderful and safe! 🌻🧶🌻

@@WambuiMadeIt I agree! Never seems to be enough time. I have been cleaning out & reorganizing my yarns & crafting supplies. Seems like it just continues to grow no matter how much I give away.

[@pattymullin8515]

Yay!!!! Your placemat pattern is here!!!! It's terrific! I have started using your cast off method on all of my projects. I can't tell you how much easier it is than any other cast off I have ever used. Most importantly, it leaves a nice, even finished edge that isn't scrunched up or bowing. Thanks ever so much for this fun pattern.

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Patty! Yes, Placemat - finally!!! Always a pleasure to hear from you. I hope you enjoy. All the best to you! 🌻🧶🧶🌻

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Beth! Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching. That is a great idea for a round placemat. It will take me a while to figure out a pattern. I will definitely work on it. I think it will make a lovely project. Unfortunately, I don’t have a tutorial on a round placemat at this time. Thank you.🌻🌻🧶

I am glad that even if you don’t want to craft anything - at least you can come over to my channel and get a good 😴. 😁😁😁. Maybe I should record the audio of my videos and make it into a CD for people who need help falling asleep. 😁 All the best to you, Sandra! Take care!🌻🌻🌻

I love your pattern. I can't wait to make it. How many place mats can you get from one skein please

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Kathy! Thank you for watching. Here are the amounts I used when using each of the 3 different weights of yarn. Of course, the amount of skeins with depend on how many yards are in the skein of the brand you choose. However, I will tell you what I used based on the #3, #4, and #5 weight yarns and the yarns that I use. Thank you again and all the best to you! 🌻🌻🧶🌻.

Every time u wash the placemat do u have ti wet it and dry it and pin it the same way?

[@jillt2555]

As far as blocking it, does this need to be done with the iron every time the placemat is washed? I love all your videos, very easy to follow!

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Jill T! Thank you so very much for watching. I got this question before and to test it out I actually watched some of the things that I had blocked - and NO I did not have to re-block them after I washed them - and even put them in the dryer. Good question! All the best to you!🌻🌻🌻🧶

[@elainevandoren1569]

This pattern looks great. I am wondering though if I could use two strands of #4 yarn rather than 1?

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Elaine! Thank you for watching. Yes, I think two strands of #4 should work great!! Great idea! 🌻🧶🌻

[@kendradanner1758]

Does the flat stitch curl?

[@kellygermain2146]

I love your tutorials!!! I do have a question could I use a combination of flat stitch with pearl stitch on a hat or other projects? Do I need to do a crochet cast on to use a flat stitch? I have only learned e stitches and pearls stitches I looked at some others before this flat stitch and it looks to tough for a newbie

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Kelly! I appreciate you watching. Yes, you can use the flat stitch and the purl stitch for other projects like a hat - but because the flat stitch tends to be a very tight stitch, you may not have the stretch that you are used to having in your hats. I think the flat stitch works well with projects where you want a really tight weave - pouches, tote bags. The chain stitch cast on - in my opinion - is usually the ideal cast on. If you can do it, it usually looks neater for almost every project. Take care!!🧶🌻🧶

[@jessicaduff9230]

How pegs should I use if I only have the regular flexee loom?

[@cincyredhead9768]

Planning to do this project! How many yards of yarn are needed for one placemat using the Charisma #5?

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Cindy! Thank you for watching. #5 Charisma will take 128 yards. There are 109 yards in a skein on Charisma. Happy Looming!!🌻🧶🌻

[@jessicaschwartz9784]

Can you use acrylic yarn for this project

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Jessica! Yes you can use acrylic yarn!! Best wishes!🌻🧶🌻

[@michaelsangel73]

I have a boye long loom can you do a square place mat video?

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Greetings! To make the placemat on a long loom, just use ONE side of the long loom and follow the exact same instructions that are in the placemat video. You will get the same results on the long loom if you use ONE side of the loom. 🌻🧶🌻

[@melindaruss5902]

Will it need to be reblocked each time it is washed?

[@vivienleigh4208]

That's my question too!

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Melinda! Great question. I wish I had included the answer in the video. No, you should not have to block or re-block after you have done it the first time. I measured my blocked placemats before soaking them in warm water. When I took them out, they were the same measurement and held their shapes. Of course, I would have to dry flat. BUT WAIT: I said to myself, “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”🤗 I have just put a couple of placemats - including the one I made in this video in the washer. I am then going to put them in the dryer. After I take them out - later today, I will come back here and let you know the results. In the mean time, stay wonderful!!🌻🧶🌻

[@melindaruss5902]

Thank you for your reply and I should have told you how much I enjoyed your video. You explain and demonstrate so clearly and simply that I had no problem understanding.

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Greetings! Happy to report that I washed and machine dried a couple of the placemats that I made and blocked (along with regular laundry) on the regular wash and dry cycles. The placemats held their shape - and actually look better. Have fun!! All the best to you!!!🌻🌻🧶

[@sushmanedungadi8069]

Hello Mam just wanted to know if we can make it with cotton thread instead of wool

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Sushma! You most certainly can use cotton yarn for these placemats. I used acrylic yarn. However, a nice cotton yarn would be even more practical considering how placemats are used. Stay fabulous!!🌻🌻🌻🧶

[@sushmanedungadi8069]

Thank you ❤

[@sushmanedungadi8069]

Good morning Mam can we do this on a long loom please help because I have a long rectangular loom

[@WambuiMadeIt]

Hi Sushma! Thank you for watching. Yes, it is possible to loom knit this on a long loom. You would only use one side of the loom - like what is called a rake loom. The cast on and first few rows are going to be a little awkward because of the back row of pegs getting in the way. If you take your time getting the cast on and first few rows on, you will be able to alternate the purl row and the flat stitch row until it is as long as you want. Let me know how it goes.🌻🧶🌻
