I knew I was forgetting something this morning when I left for work 😅 I’ll add a comment later with a picture of what I’m currently working on because I don’t bring my knitting to work, sadly. In the meantime, feel free to add to this thread with what is keeping you up past your bedtime this week 😉

    I’ve been meaning to reply for several days and kept forgetting. Sorry about that.

    It is loom knitting. This one has 62 pegs total, and the pattern called for 58 for (what i hope will be) my size. I’m using a smaller gauge yarn than the pattern, so my test swatch was coming out smaller, ofc. To compensate, I went up a couple sizes, and basically will measure this panel and compare against my actual clothing measurements when the panel gets a big bigger. I just hit row 60, so about a third of the way done with this piece.

      Nice, you are going fast! Do you make the sleeves on a smaller loom and then sew them on? Sorry for all the questions. The thought of making a sweater this way is very intriguing.

        Yes and no. The pattern allows to either make them in the round or just flat. If flat, I can use the same loom but just only the number of pegs needed. I’m hoping though that I have a round loom that is right-size for me to do them in the round so i won’t have arm seams to sew. I’ve picked all my looms up from thrift stores, and have 3-4 round ones. I just haven’t looked ahead in the pattern to see how many pegs I need.
