I got this super chunky yarn (Bernat Blanket) and had a bitch of a time figuring out with to do with it. I started a cowl using 2 pegs for 1 stitch, but it was too big, and a pain in the ass. I tried the mobius shawl pattern from this book but hated it. So I decided to use a cable pattern I learned from the Invisible Loom’s Cozy Cable Collection (Ravelry link). This eBook got me HOOKED on cables. Seriously. She explains it so well it makes you want to cable more. And I had previously hated everything to do with cables.
So I decided to cast on 20 pegs, and do an alternating cable pattern. 6 pegs total, 4 pegs in use at one time. So going left to right, I’d cable pegs 1, 2, 3 and 4, and going right to left, I’d cable pegs 3, 4, 5, 6. I’d purl a row between cables, and loved how it turned out. I’m not sure if that is in the Cozy Cable Collection, but it was inspired by it. I did 30 repeats and cast off, and then bound together by flipping it inside out and seaming it, since the yarn was a pain in the ass, and I didn’t feel like doing a provisional cast off.
I used my 50 peg pink Loops n’ Threads long loom and cast on 20 pegs. I like how it turned out.
Next, I made a Mobius Cowl with the Tunisian Rib Stitch from the Loom Knitters Stitch Dictionary. Seriously, if you’re a loom knitter, buy this ebook. It’s worth its weight in gold.

The stitch is cool, because the back and front are different, but there is no “wrong side” like there is with many stitches. It was a quick stitch. I used this CinDwood loom because I love its size. It’s the same size as the Knifty Knitter yellow loom, but has 66 pegs. It’s good for most projects, including shawls, and its one of my most used looms. 
Now, I love this loom because I can put it over my bent knees while I’m sitting. I have other CinDwood looms, same gauge, less pegs, but this one is just convenient. (As an enabler, buy this loom, you can do pretty much anything on it, CinDwood makes beautiful looms, you won’t regret it!)
I cast on 15 pegs with Bernat Solids, in Taupe. Same as I’m using for my afghan, which is never going to get finished. That makes it about 7 inches wide. So I tried to do a provisional cast off, but couldn’t get the “twist” (180 degree twist in the scarf, then place the loops from the original cast on back onto the loom and do a provisional cat off) right, so I bound off using a knitted bind off, and twisted it a few ways, got it right, and seamed.
I also dyed my hair whatever colour you see. I see teal, my mom sees blond-gray, my roommate sees green. The dye was ash blue, kind of a pastel.
AND I’ve got a new loom on the way. CinDwood did most of her looms in 1/2″ or 5/8″ gauge (peg spacing, how far apart the pegs are). She came up with a 1/4″ gauge, which is very fine, and made it with pink pegs and released it in October.
It immediately sold out, so I put myself on the waiting list and just paid my invoice. Already on Ravelry designers are designing awesome new patterns for it, including gloves with full fingers, toe socks, and more. It’s amazing. I ordered the bundle. I don’t own a 1/4″ loom, but I love lace yarns, and think it’s going to be fucking amazing. I’ll report when i get it. Go here to order one because it won’t last long.
Up to now there have only been patterns for knitted and crocheted knockers, but thanks to Scarlett Royal we have a beautiful loom knitted pattern that has been approved by the Knitted Knocker Support Foundation to be made specifically on our new 56 peg 1/4″ fine gauge loom.
Buy the loom and kick breast cancers ass. Proceed’s are going to charities. I know two women affected by breast cancer. October was breast cancer awareness month, but I hope this promo goes year round. I’d like to see ALL cancer awareness, though. Cancer is horrible, I lost both of my grandma’s and my cousin to it.
