<br /></div>
<div>
So hubby & I took time to preview a kids movie before vacationing to maybe watch with the kids. We sat in the last available seats right as the movie starts on the main floor level where traffic runs (it was that or front row). As the movie (Echo) gets to about 2/3 in a few people lead kids out to the restroom. I notice some of it but am very into the movie by now. A mom & daughter come back & shortly after a worker quickly dusts along the pathway a super fragrant powder towards where they walked. I noticed the smell on his way back and what was on the floor. Obviously the child vomited but must be ok since they are back. I don't know where they sit or if they are going back up behind me or just to the right. Stick with me that's important. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now the smell was already getting powerful to me. I'm highly sensitive to cleaning products and fragrances but now hubby starts whispering about it bothering him. A splash happens behind me and I'm thinking a drink is spilled. Nope. I look back in the dark. Something has happened so to grab my bag to move, from the side on the floor, in front of me. It's wet. Milky, chunky, wet. I go clean up in the bathroom and thankfully it wasn't much. My bag is washable but purse and knitting things inside are dry. Whew!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
People are in the bathroom and I'm thinking out loud. "Why would anyone bring their sick kid to a movie?". A mom heard me and sees me cleaning my bag. The family next to her has the one who got sick and she took her kids to go to the restroom and wash hands. They had been in the row in front of the vomit trail and smelled, felt and heard it all. We mutter about cleaning vomit and I head back in. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hubby is waiting on me to see if we shall go back in. Now I'm still assuming that the girl behind me was the first girl and her mom is just being terrible by keeping her there. So we decide to try the first row or two and try to catch the end of the movie. I don't see in the dark well and have to rely on hubby to navigate. Stupidly I blaze ahead of him. I barely sit down on the 3rd row from the front and hubby whispers to me, "Come on! We gotta go!". I look at the end of the row and on the floor is a giant spot of puke!! How the heck did I dance around that?! I pass a family with horrible looks on their faces as a grown man is now trying to hold back his own stomach convulsions as we pass by. We run in front of the screen to exit. I look back and see many others jumping up and leaving. I felt like it was dawn of the zombies and we were the main characters...run for your lives!!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We made it out with a line of others behind us and crying children to the main ticket booth. The quickly refunded our money and we left. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As we left hubby recounted he thought no less then 7 were affected of what we saw and I dare say others were likely to crop up. The movie wasn't even finished. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We think it was food poisoning and the little ones got it first. It makes me think it was the popcorn or something like that to effect that many people. So next time you decide to go to the movies....ok well...maybe next time stay at home like I will be and watch Netflix. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
P.s. We came home and threw clothes and my bag in the wash on sanitize and took showers. My body is reeling just waiting for the boom if we get sick. We both had the pizza and a box candy. Please let it be the popcorn!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I feel like we just experienced the same from Goonies <a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5UG7ISJfP0" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5UG7ISJfP0</a></div>
<div>
Chunk meet Munch at Echo</div>

Hope you had fun reading this...perhaps I should have waited to post on Halloween. It's pretty creepy! No zombies for me. This is so surreal. </div>

How to Wet Block your Knitting</h2>
<h3>
Simple blocking of knitting evens your work.</h3>
Blocking your knitting may sound scary or foreign but the fact is it can make your project sing! It will make the stitches even out and open lace wok and cables nicely. <br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Even the professionals block"</i></h4>
<br />
There are ways to steam knitting that can kill synthetic yarns but wet blocking is perfect for all types of yarn, is cheap and simple.<br />
<br />
The following I had previously blogged on another post for my <a href="http://goodknitkisses.blogspot.com/2013/07/mitered-square-picot-lovey-free-pattern.html" target="_blank">mitered picot lovey</a>. You can find the original patterns for the <a href="http://goodknitkisses.blogspot.com/2014/04/picot-layette-pattern.html" target="_blank">layette set</a> at this link (<a href="http://goodknitkisses.blogspot.com/2014/04/picot-layette-pattern.html" target="_blank">click here</a>) but I wanted to give blocking its own blog. Thanks for reading. Be sure to subscribe and comment below. Thanks! -Kristen<br />

Blocking instructions:<br />
I suggest a wet block approach. This is safe for all types of yarn.<br />
If you have a machine washable fiber you can run it through the wash on gentle then follow pinning instructions below. If a natural fiber or delicate stitches like lace, wash by hand with a recommended mild detergent then follow pinning instructions below.<br />
<br />

I prefer washing by hand in my plastic basin with a product called Soak. This detergent is formulated to not need rinsing. Mix with one tsp of detergent to 1 gallon of water. Use spring or filtered tap. Mix up with your hand in a clean sink or basin. Place knitting in and let soak in for 15 minutes. Gently squeeze the water out or place in a dry white towel and roll. Knitting will be damp.<br />

Need:<br />
Blocking Board(s) or clean kids play-mats<br />
T-pins that are rust-resistant. These are reusable.<br />
<br />
Lay knitting on blocking board and pin the corners evenly with 1 pin in each corner. On one side start pinning behind each picot to have a nice straight line. Adjust corner pins as necessary. Repeat for adjacent side and work your way to the corner opposite your first starting pin. Try to match the sizing pinned from the first side. Now skip the adjacent side and go to the side opposite of the 2nd side you pinned. After pinning behind each picot Adjust the criers as needed and complete the last side.<br />
<br />
Leave knitting until it is dry. Be sure to place in a well ventilated area with good air circulation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Knitting!<br />

Guest blog By <a href="http://www.littlehoundalesknits.com/blog/" target="_blank">Kath</a></h3>
<br />
Knitting, once associated with only older people used to making their own clothes and embarrassing jumpers made by well-meaning Grandmas, is on the up. Crafts are increasingly popular amongst the young, and sewing and knitting your own clothes in a struggling economy is now not only sensible but also seen as a great way of making your clothes unique to you. <br />
<br />
<h4>
Are you thinking about taking up knitting and are curious to know more? Here are 5 things about knitting you may not have known.</h4>
<br />
• The number of celebrities that have taken up knitting. There are some celebrities that you might associate with knitting but there is a wide range of glamorous women that look to work their needles. This includes Uma Therman, Debra Messing, Scarlet Johansson, Sarah Jessica Parker and supermodel Kate Moss.<br />
<br />
• How old knitting is. The earliest examples of knitting have been found in Egypt and include a wide range of items, including indigo blue and white cotton stockings, which have been dated between the 11th and 14th centuries CE.<br />
<br />
• How important the kind of yarn you use is to the finished product. Patterns will often come measured in stitches as opposed to being measured by size. This means that the <a href="http://www.littlehoundalesknits.com/yarns" target="_blank">kind of knitting yarns</a> you use could mean the difference between it being fit for purpose or not. Make sure that you choose the weight that they suggest to avoid problems in the future. There are around 6 standard weights; super fine, fine, light, medium, bulky and super bulky.<br />
<br />
• How important the needle you use is. This is for the same reason as the kind of yarn you use is important. Bigger needles do bigger stitches. This doesn't mean you need a load of needles, you can just buy them as you need them, or there are a lot of starter kits out there that give you a range of needles in the most commonly used sizes.<br />
<br />
• Knitting is for more than just clothes. There are even some people allergic to wool, so if you enjoy knitting this doesn't mean that you have to get used to the idea of wearing wool if you don't want to or sending knitted clothes to anyone you know. There are crafts you can do; household items, decorations etc. These are also good for novices and those that only know a limited number of stitches. They are also good for those looking to learn new stitches.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to know more about knitting there are loads of websites and books dedicated to this up and coming craft, so you can make the most of and develop your skills to become a proficient knitter.<br />

<h2>
Swatch and Cast On Calculator for Knitting (needles or loom)</h2>
<h3>
Swatching for Gauge. Three words we don't like to hear.</h3>
<div>
Have you read or heard that you need to make a swatch? Or check your gauge? </div>
<div>
Don't be scared. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yes, you will need to knit up a swatch in the yarn you intend to use with the tool (needle or loom) you intend for your project in the main stitch, but to find your gauge from there takes a few simple calculations. If you simply want to find how many stitches you need for a panel, or even a small section to make a feature in your knitting (say a special stitch or even a 6" bound off slit for a strap to fit through), you will need to know how many stitches to work, bind off or even cast on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Below you will find help for that as well as how many rows to get the desired length! If you have the "stitches per inch" or "rows per inch" from an existing pattern, you can compare those numbers to your numbers and calculate the difference you need. Then add or subtract stitches to achieve the same sizing or also the same as "obtain(ing) gauge".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let's get started! Use the notes and illustrations below to measure your swatch and calculate. The first examples contain numbers to help you practice. We encourage you to use the formula spelled out at the bottom, along with the example numbers in the example figures, to test our answers. Below the examples are cleared out boxes for you to use for your own swatch measurements. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Please note that directions below are written for our Phone and Tablet app. We thought best to provide a blog to help others with what we already had. If you would like to download and use the app for your convenience please <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/goodknit/id681039777?mt=8" target="_blank">click here</a>. It is a free iOS app. At the bottom of this post is a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXKe-fIE7cE" target="_blank">video</a> showing how to use the app and this calculator. Should you not have an iOS device you are welcome to print this blog for personal use to use as a guide. It would also be a nice paper to keep as a reference for your projects or a swatch reference for your tools (needles and looms). We would recommend writing at the top the yarn, tool, stitch and project for your reference. Note that gauge can change slightly with your own mood and tension as well as from yarn to yarn even on the same tools.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
**(A note for our <b>metric</b> friendly international users. The calculations will work the same, just change inches to suit your needs. Its the ratio that's important).**</div>
<h4>
For the Cast-On Calculations: </h4>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
First make a swatch using the selected project yarn of about 5 inches by 5 inches or 6x6. In making the swatch use the same needles or loom that you intend to use in making the project.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
Then measure about a 4 inch by 4 inch area on the swatch. A smaller size measurement may be made. However, the estimate provided by the calculator will be more accurate as the measured area increases. </div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
Cast-On Formula used: </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
Swatch is S stitches and measures W wide. The stitches per inch is S/W and desired width is dW. The Stitches to Cast-On = (dW x S/W). </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
Now for the Rows Calculations: </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
Measure the swatch number of rows and enter the number of rows and the measured length. Then enter the desired length of project and press 'Rows needed are->'. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
Formula for rows needed = (dL x R/L) where dL is desired length, R is number of measured rows and L is length measured.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">

Triangle design shawl using wedge technique inspired by Hexagon blanket by Charity Windham. Charity and I talked about combining her wedge and my picots for a frilly garter ridge reversible shawl. This shawl is a generous size for larger sizes up to 76" wide from end to end! Cast on Edge is 53" and can be made smaller for smaller sizing needs.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Stitch gauge: 4 sts per inch x 8 rows per inch in garter stitch</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Loom: 7/16" gauge loom to be single knit with at least 168 pegs. Loom used in sample Knitting Board 28" with peg extenders.<br />
<br />
Alternate loom(s): Kiss Looms can adjust to appropriate guage. Be sure to swatch. Use Kiss Fine Gauge Fixed 2; set up with two 83 peg long sides and two 7 peg ends. Use 165 pegs (loom will be 180 pegs). For Martha Stewart (MS loom) use two kits; set up with four 36 peg straights, two 12 peg medium straights, and four 6 peg corners with pegs in all holes for 3/8" gauge. Cast on 189 pegs (192 pegs on loom).</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
EW - Ewrap</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
P - Purl</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
HS - Half Stitch</div>

BO - Bind Off</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Cast on: Picot CO 165 pegs. (starting on left working to right if right handed, Place removable Stich Marker on peg 1) <a href="http://youtu.be/MdtQZm9wUE0">http://youtu.be/MdtQZm9wUE0</a><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Row 1: SL 1, P to marker (all odd rows will repeat this way.)</div>
<div>
Row 2: HS 1 at marked peg & move marker 1 peg to right (do NOT work HS st), EW to peg 165, Cable CO 3, BO 3 to form picot (See notes below on details for Cable CO and BO). I like to have 3 st markers on pegs 166-168 to show where picots need to be added on even numbered rows. For less picots on edging only, add picots every 4th row. As the pattern reads, this edge will be fuller than the cast on picots to give it a ruffled look when draped.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Repeat Rows 1 & 2 until last HS is at peg 164 & ending on row Row 2. This row will be HS 1, EW 1.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Begin Picot Bind Off*.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
*This is an alternate to my standard picot bind off just for this pattern.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
**Cable CO 3, BO 4 (** rep between **,** til one st left on loom, EW 1 cut tail and pull through) See video at minute 21:14; it should start there. <a href="http://youtu.be/xicPyxHNVmQ?t=21m14s" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/xicPyxHNVmQ?t=21m14s</a></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Weave in both tails into project. If using color changing yarn be sure to weave like colored tails to closest color.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Blocking may be needed due to tension and eveness of such a large project. Do NOT steam block acrylic or it will "kill" it! Block with a light washing and let dry pinned on blocking board if needed. See bottom of pattern on Mitered Square Lovey for wet blocking instructions. <a href="http://goodknitkisses.blogspot.com/2013/07/mitered-square-picot-lovey-free-pattern.html">http://goodknitkisses.blogspot.com/2013/07/mitered-square-picot-lovey-free-pattern.html</a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Notes on HS</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Unlike an EW (where the working yarn is wrapped from the back between the next peg and around the front of the desired stitch/peg to the back) the HS wraps to the front between the previous peg to the front of the desired stitch/peg then between the next stich (peg).</div>

This month is a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/LoomALong/" target="_blank">Facebook Loom Along</a> for the Picot Layette set. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1471527967204829465" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1471527967204829465" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1471527967204829465" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>Loom knit the whole set or just what you need. The Set: A Picot Lovey (mitered square with picot optional add-on edge), Picot Booties, and a Picot Bonnet.<br />
<br />
The set is girl centered but there are alternate to tweak for a boy or more unisex.<br />
<br />
These patterns are written out in separate blogs and have a few video references. There are no full video loom alongs at this point. I'm finding my full time job and home life has hindered making one. However, I challenge you to stretch yourself if you find you rely on full loom along videos too much. The technique visas help demonstrate the techniques spelled out in the patterns. This blog is a quick reference to all of the patterns in the layette set. <br />
<br />
The set was conceived by me and I partnered together with Charity, to design a mitered square that will work well for you. You can actually do this on any loom and with more stitches. This particular pattern was created to go with my Picot Layette set and was inspired by the new sock loom 2 from Authentic Knitting Board. I was privileged to get an advance preview of the loom and got so excited that I created 3 new patterns.<br />
<br />
If you are familiar with Charity Windham's Hexagon baby blanket you will be able to make the mitered square in no time. The video for the Hexagon will help you understand the principle<br />
<br />
Here are the pattern links below. I might create PDFs individually on Ravelry for convenience to have on your mobile device or to print off for personal use. Enjoy!<br />

Do you like a written out pattern or one that is fully photo or fully video? I think there is a happy medium. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlP-zucceKowGcfNOPxH8i_VhCsusLwTYOmYvQcLqtYIfbqjEO2Vxi9CrvGxHr26pcmKZr6Eo067Orv_wDV9ND8tYZR3QGonwUQyCaZoJl9C6WR-hOLcAGTtaSSUIsS1ZZflxgK3gEENdq/s1600/IMG_3058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlP-zucceKowGcfNOPxH8i_VhCsusLwTYOmYvQcLqtYIfbqjEO2Vxi9CrvGxHr26pcmKZr6Eo067Orv_wDV9ND8tYZR3QGonwUQyCaZoJl9C6WR-hOLcAGTtaSSUIsS1ZZflxgK3gEENdq/s1600/IMG_3058.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Personally, written patterns with graphs or diagrams and/or a few progress photos are my preference. BUT I do like links to technique videos for those harder skills. These make it easier for people to dive into more intricate skills, especially if they don't have access to someone local to teach them on something they might otherwise pass up. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course for GoodKnit Kisses I do this in all of my patterns, but I also make some patterns full video tutorials as well. Even though the pattern is video I'm making an effort now to put the pattern on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/kristen-mangus/patterns" target="_blank">Ravelry</a> or a digital store like <a href="http://www.vivaloom.com/node/171" target="_blank">Vivaloom.com</a> or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/GoodKnitKisses" target="_blank">Etsy</a>. In doing this I hope my video heavy audience will make the effort to leap into patterns for themselves. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since teaching on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/goodknitkisses" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, obviously video works for myself and my audience. I find that we dismiss, as a whole, the auditory learner. I understand there is a discussion on Ravelry right now and some circles to dissuade and bad mouth videos in general. I have not read these discussions or been dragged into any (only told by a few there are these discussions happening). Honestly I don't feel the need to go into forums and justify what I do. It's not for everyone. However, some need to put auditory and visual moving cues together to tactically become aware of how to manipulate stitches. Many around the world do not have access locally or even regionally to a person or place to teach them advanced skills. Photos and videos do assist well for those people.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For me starting out I had no idea where to go. My Local Yarn Store (LYS) that was still in business at the time was extremely rude to me when calling because I was loom knitting. When searching for information on loom knitting I really didn't know what to search for. All I knew was to search for the brand I was using. At the time I wasn't proficient at all how to use Google to my advantage and search for things. My life in Interior Design and Commercial design, then floor covering, was completely unrelated. No one near me had a clue and even craft stores at the time looked strangely at me. At the time it was random to get a YouTube or any video to appear in search results. Happily, a video popped up and I devoured watching it. It was terribly done but really helped me. I started clicking on and watching the few I could find. As I learned terms and resources I gobbled up what I could but had this desire to help others who may need help like me. You see, I also had a memory issue.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back in 1995 I sustained a head injury which caused memory issues ever since. Retaining skills and translating things from books into tactile knowledge and working the stitches over and over required more than repetition. It caused a real NEED to see it over and over again. There was no one to help me. I would work on converting needle stitches over and figure it out but the next day would completely forget what I did or what the notes I had written meant. I started making videos to help myself and putting them online. Knitting was becoming a therapy not only for my memory but was also helping me with post-partum. I took it up after being inspired when reconnecting with an old friend on Facebook now living in another state. She was knitting with needles but I had carpel tunnel and so the loom worked well for me then. Feeling worse then the "baby-blues", I took up arms strong in the knowledge I was crafty and smart. "I can do all things!", I said to quote a popular scripture (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+4%3A13&version=NKJV" target="_blank">Philippians 4:13)</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I could talk all day about how I've progressed through the years and learned and even gained healing in many areas but its strays too far from the point in this article. My point is, videos help people of all backgrounds and strengths. SO when you go forward, think about what makes you uniquely you. Think about how others may need to learn different because they are special in a different way as you are. However, if you are someone like me who really does need that movement of video and audio working harmoniously…would you take the time to save the pattern, read through it and make an effort to learn? Challenge yourself to new heights and even find more difficult things to learn. You may discover a new part about yourself and LOVE it! Besides, there will always be a community of people along the way who understand and can encourage you.</div>
<div>

Much love to you all this Valentine's week. Please comment below and let me low your story. It is in sharing our own lives that we enrich others and even heal!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-small;">Hello double knitting & Knitting Board enthusiasts! Back in the summer of 2013 I tested double knitting on the new Knitting Board Super Afghan loom (11/16" gauge and 198 pegs) and talked a little about it in my </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpOu4BbNVWA&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLD0CEE6431019C948" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;" target="_blank">review</a><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-small;">. Many have asked how to set this up. Here it is written out for set up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-small;">I suggest marking skipped pegs with a piece of tape in front, use a small stitch marker, OR paint the top tip of the peg (some people use nail polish as it comes off when needed). On the </span><b style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">inside</b><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-small;"> curves you WILL NOT skip pegs. With this method you will get double knitting for 77 pegs wide. The gap between is rather large for gauge so be sure to use multiple strands, a bulky or super bulky yarn. The stitches you use will also determine the size of your gauge as well as usual.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-small;">See notes below. Sk1 means skip 1 peg. K3 means you will work that number of pegs after setting up but still working from front board to back board. a set means you will repeat that pattern for listed amount of times:</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Skip marked starter and 4 end pegs on right (total so 3 plus starter= see photo). </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
On outside edge k2 sk1 for 6 sets<br />
<div>
Then k3 sk1</div>
<div>
Then k2 sk1 4 sets</div>
<div>
Then k3 sk 1</div>
<div>
Then k2 sk 1 5 sets</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Stop marking and go to opposite end. Mirror side 1 of S; after marking continue to wrap all pegs unless marked to skip. When wrapping you wrap the front peg and the one on the opposite board. No unmarked pegs should go empty. I suggest using a Bulky or Super Bulky weight only. For the Bulky it needs to be on the heavier side or you may need to double up on strands. </div>

Below is a photo marking all the pegs with a black permanent marker. </div>

Use knitting needles of a smaller size than your loops just to hold the stitches. See end of the following video of the hexagon blanket for this technique.

GoodKnit Kisses new Bento Box Scarf featuring new stitch patterns Sisal and Seagrass were developed April 2013. The stitches both have a cool reverse on them. The reverse doesn't match but is good looking. The stitch patterns are more universal in style and go great for masculine, feminine or neutral. <br /><br />Both patterns I have been researching to see if they have ever been created before. Not finding them, I called a few yarn shops and spoke to owners who knit & teach. After describing, they said they'd never heard of that before but were excited to test. The patterns are simple to achieve and are a repeat over a multiple of 2 stiches & 2 rows. Quite simply, it is a method of bind-offs and yarn overs.<br /><br />Below are the stitch patterns written out. Please feel free to use these new stitches in your own designs and projects. The photo of the Bento Box scarf shows the motif alternating between the two patterns. The intent is to have a full afghan with this design. The scarf created was using a scrap yarn from Yarn Bee. I'd suggest using a solid color in your own sample to really see how cool these look in person. Patterns will be free and coming this summer. Please watch my blog for the latest. (Sample made over 168 stitches on Knitting Board new 28" loom with peg extenders. Scarf is 55" long; knit along the width of the loom.)<br /><br />Sisal stitch pattern: bind off 1 stitch then yarn over, repeat to end of the row. Next row repeat. Written: Row 1 *BO1, YO*, rep *,*<br />Row 2 rep Row 1 (For needles use a Purl BO method or for loom BO as usual on row 2)<br />Repeat Rows 1-2<br /><br />[Loom Knitters remember to knit your first stitch, then knit your second stitch. Move 2nd stitch to 1st and work the stitch by taking the bottom loop over the top. Ewrap the empty peg, where the 2nd stitch was and this completes your yarn over. Repeat this method to the end of the row.].<br /><br />Seagrass stitch pattern: Bind off 1 stitch then yarn over, repeat bind off and yarn over to end of row. Written: <br />Row 1 *BO1, YO*, rep *,*<br />Row 2 *K to the end of the row (needles Purl to end of the row instead). <br />Repeat Rows 1-2<br /><br />I hope you enjoy these new stitch patterns. Please post your comments below. I'd love to see your test swatches and designs!

Together with Charity, we have designed a mitered square that will work well for you. You can actually do this on any loom and with more stitches. This particular pattern was created to go with my Picot Layette set and was inspired by the new sock loom 2 from Authentic Knitting Board. I was privileged to get an advance preview of the loom and got so excited that I created 3 new patterns. A Picot Lovey (mitered square with picot optional add-on edge), Picot Booties, and a Picot Bonnet. <br />
<br />
If you are familiar with Charity Windham's Hexagon baby blanket you will be able to make the mitered square in no time. The video for the Hexagon will help you understand the principle<br />
<br />
Here is the pattern below. Enjoy!<br />

By Kristen Mangus & Charity Windham<br />
Designed on June 11, 2013<br />
<br />
Loom: small gauge loom 3/8" at least 54 pegs. Knitting Board Sock Loom 2 was used on sample<br />
<br />
Notions: <br />
Removable stitch marker<br />
Crochet hook<br />
<br />
Yarn: Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable color Petunia. Less than 1 skein used.<br />
<br />
Size: approximately 14-15". Sample lightly water blocked and pinned.<br />
<br />
Gauge: swatches in garter stitch 4 stitches per in. And 7 rows per inch. For a 24" square cast on 96 pegs on a 3/8" loom<br />
<br />
Abbreviations:<br />
HS - half stitch<br />
K - ewrap (you can also u knit)<br />
CO - cast on (cable method for border see <a href="http://youtu.be/OCFDyz7P9p0" target="_self">video</a>)<br />
Sl - Slip stitch (skip/ignore this 1st st)<br />
St - stitch<br />
BO - Bind off<br />
<br />
Cast On 54 pegs from 54 to 1 (I like to use the chain method to do this but a double ewrap or yarn over cast on will work well. See video to <a href="http://youtu.be/SZZt6cOFu2Y" target="_self">help</a> on start)<br />
<br />
Place marker on peg 2<br />
* peg 54 is always HS*<br />
<br />
HS peg 1, K 52, HS peg 54<br />
Sl 1, p back to marker making sure to purl the marker stitch (note all purl rows will always slip the 1st st even if not stated)<br />
HS where marker is<br />
Move marker one peg <br />
<br />
*K to peg 53, hS peg 54<br />
Sl 1, Purl back to marker (purl at marker)<br />
HS where marker is<br />
Move marker one peg*<br />
<br />
Continue until all pegs but peg 54 have been wrapped. Purl last peg.<br />
<br />
*HS peg 54, k to marker (lift 2 loops over 1)<br />
Purl back to peg 53*<br />
Repeat until all 54 pegs have only 1 loop and complete 1 more purl row. <br />
<br />
Loose bind off. <br />

<br />
Place all stitches of one side back on the loom (54 stitches or the same that were originally cast on) <br />
CO 2, BO 4 until all stitches have been worked. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">* </span><a href="http://youtu.be/qWkTu8T8KeM" style="background-color: white; color: #888888; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;">http://youtu.be/qWkTu8T8KeM</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Begin Picot Bind Off*.</span><br />

Start with your finished end and pick up 54 stitches evenly. (see below for NOTES ON ROWS). For every 2 stitches it will make 1 picot between them. Make sure you have two empty pegs to the right. Place a slip knot on the 3rd peg (the first one with a stitch from the existing panel). Now Cast on 2 then bind off 4 pegs. When you do that the first two stitches on the panel will be done and it leaves you with one picot. Repeat for remaining stitches on that side. Repeat for all sides. TIP: Use a removable stitch marker. Place on 2nd stitch from end (with will be your 4th bind off stitch). When you have bound off enough stitches it will be uncovered and you'll know to move the marker back two stitches and cast on your next 2 stitches.</span></span></span><br />

The two true "sides" will give you too many picots if you pick up too many stitches.</span></span></span><br />

Blocking instructions:<br />
I suggest a wet block approach. This is safe for all types of yarn.<br />
If you have a machine washable fiber you can run it through the washer then follow pinning instructions below. If a natural fiber wash by hand with a recommended mild detergent then follow pinning instructions below.<br />
<br />

I prefer washing by hand in my plastic basin with a product called Soak. This detergent is formulated to not need rinsing. Mix with one tsp of detergent to 1 gallon of water. Use spring or filtered tap. Mix up with your hand in a clean sink or basin. Place knitting in and let soak in for 15 minutes. Gently squeeze the water out or place in a dry white towel and roll. Knitting will be damp.<br />

Need:<br />
Blocking Board(s) or clean kids play-mats<br />
T-pins that are rust-resistant<br />
<br />
Lay knitting on blocking board and pin the corners evenly with 1 pin in each corner. On one side start pinning behind each picot to have a nice straight line. Adjust corner pins as necessary. Repeat for adjacent side and work your way to the corner opposite your first starting pin. Try to match the sizing pinned from the first side. Now skip the adjacent side and go to the side opposite of the 2nd side you pinned. After pinning behind each picot Adjust the criers as needed and complete the last side.<br />
<br />
Leave knitting until it is dry. Be sure to place in a well ventilated area with good air circulation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Pattern for personal use only.<br />
<br />
Happy Knitting!<br />

Pretty Picots edge this 6 pointed star made on a 12 peg Knifty Knitter Flower loom. This is a true knit flower but it also looks like a 6 pointed or sided star. We call it the Picot Star. The main flower is very easy with a picot bind off. Watch for a bonus vlog on a true cable cast on as well by Charity Windham.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The Picot Star looks great by itself as an embellishment to a hat scarf, handbag, clip or headband. Well hey use it for a variety of projects! But for a multilayered effect pair it with the Picot Petals Pattern. This flower is larger and is make on the 24 peg Knifty Knitter. (Looms can be swapped out of course!)<br />
<br />
Below are the Written Patterns and the video tutorials. Have fun and Happy looming!<br />

PATTERN NOTES:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
We're using the back board (BB) as a place for a holding
peg to work the drop stitch and all knit stitches are worked on the front board
(FB). Do not skip pegs on FB. The sliders provide the space and no extra wraps
are needed for the drops. Plus the width of the shawl actually is the width of
the board. It's a multiple of *3 + hold*
+3<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The basic pattern is ewrap 3 & Hold on BB 1 peg
behind 3rd ewrapped peg, EW 3 & hold on BB, repeat pattern till last 3
stitches and EW. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Row 1: *EW 3 on FB, wrap BB1*, repeat between *,* till
last 3 st. EW 3.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Repeat Row 1 for 100 rows to knit the maximum intended
size or till 21" measures on ends. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
NOTES on Sizing:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Work in a flat panel with a turning peg (the first stitch
of each row is always slipped, meaning skip and move to peg 2) until SIDE
length measures 21" or length from nape of neck to waistline. The middle
will measure longer because of the dropped stitches weight.<o:p></o:p><br />
For petite shawl measuring 12"x54", as on my test in the sock weight seen below, Use a multiple of 4. Cast on 3, wrap holding peg, *EW 4 on FB, wrap BB1*, repeat between *,* till last 3 st. EW 3.<br />
This will take out a few drops and changes the sizing.<br />
<br />
*The pattern is railroaded by knitting the length on the width of the board but one can knit fewer multiples on any loom and skip 2-5 pegs before wrapping EW to get the same results and it will effectively "turn" it to the side. You would just knit till you got the desired length. For example using a Knifty Knitter: work as a flat panel and skip enough pegs to make about a 4" drop, then wrap the next peg. Leave 3 pegs at the end to finish the row in 3 EW. Knit till desired length.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
BIND OFF:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Make sure you have at least 9-10 yards left on ball or
skein to bind off (or 3.5 times the length of the loom following around the
pegs on front & back).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Loose Slip knot bind off, making sure to yarn over around
the holding pegs following the pattern it makes along the loom so bind off
matches cast on drop stitches.<br />
*If your yarn isn very nubby you can use my stretchy bind off but you will need to add extra wraps or chains between to span the distance between the drops; this changes the look of the edge to look crocheted which was not intended.*<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
OPTIONAL FRINGE:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Add fringe to both shorter ends as desired OR one of the
longer sides to hang from back of shawl. <o:p></o:p></div>

Also included in the video are two icing recipes for fun. One is a cream cheese made with Oreos blended, perfect for a sock monkey theme! <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;">The other is a Butter cream icing with maraschino cherry flavor as well and would be great for Valentine's Day with candied hearts, a cherry or red crystal sprinkles!</span></span><br />

Have you been wanting to make a simple baby cocoon but not sure how without a video? After far to long of putting it off I have recorded and posted a YouTube video of how to make a baby cocoon! I've been asked for a while and finally did it. Below you'll find the loom along video. Grab some super bulky yarn or 3 strands of worsted and lets make a cocoon! <br />
<br />
in the video I make a more finished looking bind off than the regular drawstring. If you want to make it more simple you can just put a string of yarn through all the loops on the pegs and bind it up that way. I show how to do a gradual decrease to remove the normal bulkiness of the drawstring method. Use this same technique for the crown of a hat made on this same loom as well! <br />

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well!<br /><br />I wanted to announce to you today that my latest pattern is up on the vivaloom.com website! It is for my <b>Chic Retreat Cowl</b> with a lot of visual interest and texture. There is also a <b>LOOM ALONG VIDEO</b>, to go along with it & help you. I'd love for you to tackle this intermediate-advanced project to learn something new and exercise your creativity knowing there is a video to aid you the whole way. <br /><br />You need to be able to use a small gauge loom with ability to knit in the round 96 pegs. It was written for the All-N-One loom but you can use the Martha Stewart loom with the for corner pieces and the two longest straight pieces & small pegs in every hole. <br /><br />Here is the link: <a href="https://www.vivaloom.com/node/171" target="_blank"><b>https://www.vivaloom.com/node/171</b></a><br /><br /><br /><i>If you want to try a stitch sampler, cast on 17 stitches. Use the chart in the pattern to guide you. It will help with technique. The 17 stitches are for the chain lace part. The crossed sections won't be totally be even on crosses but you'll get the idea.</i><br /><br />Have fun and Happy Looming!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Blessings,<br />Kristen<br /><br /><a href="http://www.goodknitkisses.com/" target="_blank">http://www.GoodKnitKisses.com</a><br />For pattern shop, blog, & tutorials</div>
