What do you do if you want to change colors?

If you want to change colors, simply use a square knot to tie on a new color at the beginning of a row. Depending on the stitch you are using, the loose ends where you tied it on may, or may not, show. If they do show, use a yarn needle to weave them into the stitches.

If you run out of yarn and need to tie on new yarn, be careful to match the yarn exactly. A brand of new yarn in the same color may not match exactly the same brand and color bought 2 years prior. Colors fade and can vary from skein to skein. Try to ensure you have enough yarn, purchased at the same time, to complete the entire project before you start knitting on your Knifty Knitter.

How to Purl Stitch on the Knifty Knitter

If you've been wondering how to purl stitch on the Knifty Knitter loom, here is a quick and easy tutorial showing how its done courtesy of the Provo craft website.

1. You push the loops on your loom up so that you can run the working yarn under these loops.
2. Lay the working yarn below the loops on the loom.
3. Use your Knifty Knitter hook to pull the working yarn through the loops on the pegs. Yes, the loops on the pegs! :)
4. Knit off pulling the loop off the peg and replacing it with the one that was pulled through.

A quick post to show the sachet I just finished with the smallest round loom. I've been making them this weekend and I am thrilled with the outcome. Here are the instructions and another photo.

I'm off to try them in more colors. A soft blue will be nice, don't you think? 

Happy Knifty Knitting!
