Infinity Loom vs Long Wooden Loom vs Other Blanket Methods?

I’m looking to make some more big, cozy blankets. I made my first blanket recently by making long panels, then sewing them together. While it came out okay, I don’t love all of the seams and I’d like a better option.

What are your favorite tools or methods to making blankets? I don’t like the 10-stitch pattern so I don’t want to make those. I’m thinking of investing in an infinity loom at Michaels today since it’s on sale, or I can order one of the big wooden looms. The other option could be the chunky flexee loom, tho I don’t love how they don’t stay in place easily and move around.

I already own multiple round looms, and I also own the skinny flexee loom (I can only imagine how long that would take lol).

Any suggestions welcome!

Made a New Hat!

Out of curiosity I got some really cheap dollar store yarn and the yarn ended up feeling super soft!

WIP's

The first WIP I have finished the body of the mermaid snuggle blanket for one of my nieces now I just need to do the fin. I'm thinking of doing the fin from the KB blog mermaid blanket, I decided against doing the hourglass pattern they have for the body as firstly that was loom knitted as a flat panel not in the round and secondly the pattern would be lost with the variegated yarn I used.

The second WIP is going to be the back for a cardigan for my daughter. The yarn is faux fur (cookie colour) from AliExpress. I'm doing it on the Regular Flexee loom although I think it might knit up better on the Chunky gauge but as I don't have that and not sure if I'd actually use that loom set so I'm hesitant to buy it. I'm not really following a pattern for this, I've looked at lots of different ones and just going with the flow.

This one I want to finish first as I want to make Scarlett Royale's (The Loom Muse) Sweater Poncho for my aunt for her Christmas present and need the Regular gauge for the yarn I want to use (plus its what she uses in the video and the free written pattern).

My mums blanket and my aunts summer infinity scarf/cowl

My mums blanket I finished a little while ago, it was made with 3 x 300g skeins from acrylic yarn I got from B&M about 6/7years ago when I started loom knitting. It should be perfect for her sofa and it's better than I thought it would be (the yarn was about £4 per skein) after being washed, now I just need to give it to her!

My aunts infinity scarf is made from Hemp silk yarn with tiny sequins (lace weight) that I got from AliExpress early this year after I got the Bitty Flexee loom for my birthday in February and I'm also really happy with how it turned out after being washed (inside a pillow case on a delicate 30°C wash and laid flat to dry). I hope she likes it when I actually get to the post office to send it to her.

Hey, Y’all! I’m Erica! AKA The Lopsided Crafter

Hey, Y’all! I’m Erica! AKA The Lopsided Crafter

First off, I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve as a New Mod for this Loom knitting Community here on Reddit!! I don’t claim to know everything but I promise to do my best to find the answer if I don’t. I am a very approachable person so please don’t hesitate to tag me in any comments or threads (that I may have missed) and I will do my best to answer the questions. 

A little about me
I live in South Carolina with my husband and three boys (men) and one grandson! 
I've been loom knitting for 20+ years and have made many things over the years from blankets to pillows to mittens. My Loom obsession is SOCKS! And talking about  how I make them. 

If you go on YT there are a bunch of Loom Knitting channels but they are mainly “How To” videos. One of my goals has been to bring Loom knitting more into the fiber world as a community. So I created my own Channel, The Lopsided Crafter Loom Knitting where I talk about what I’m making, what I’ve learned, and what I want to make- The other fiber crafts can do it, why not us? 

Again, I want to thank you for being a part of this community!
Happy Loom Knitting!
Stay Happy, Stay Cozy and May All Your Socks Find Their Matches

Casting On with e-stitch Weirdness

I was following along with a random YT video on how to do garter stitch. I’m a looming newbie, doing my first project (scarf) . I started the casting-on part, using e-stitch … but when I get to the last e and then start the reverse to finish the foundation row, that last peg ends up with just a twisted loop around it that isn’t knotted or held in any way. I replayed this video several times, following along.

What am I doing wrong? Is it really supposed to just be a twisty loop with no apparent knit/knot/locking around that last peg? Does this make sense? Should I give up on e-stitch foundation and do something else for flat projects like a scarf? Help!

New Flairs

I have started to add a few more Flairs to the group: Blankets, Accessories, Socks, New Cast On, etc

As a group are there any "Flairs" you would like to see or ones that you feel are obsolete?

Thank you,

Loom knitting stand

I finally found a solution to hold my in flexeloom without wrestling with it . I found an old keyboard stand . I had been trying to figure something out for the loom , and I thought I would give it a try. The stand is solid enough not to move around.. I also have been putting a pillow on the cross members to rest my feet when I needed to take a break.

Sock Loom A long

I love to make socks and I love to make them on the loom. Every year a "certain person" hosts a KAL for socks. BUT she does not allow loom knit socks in that KAL.. So this year I decided to host my own! Sock It To Me! 2026 Loom A long! So, if you are a Loom Knitter or just interested in the concept I'd love for you to join me. I've posted a video on my Channel, The Lopsided Crafter Loom Knitting that explains everything. Happy Loom Knitting
