Here is Part 2 of this video. In Part 2, I completely finish a miniature version of the afghan. You might find this helpful. Thank you. Part 2: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html
I wish I had had more teachers like you when I was younger. I had a few. The way you explain things and how you carry yourself is comforting. I don't feel intimidated or overwhelmed. I feel included. Thank you so much for these videos.
Hi Linsanity! Thank you so very much for watching. I am glad that you find the videos helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. It means a lot to me. All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶
Finally, someone who does it so it’s easy to follow along. So many people make these videos and just, they just don’t get the explanations properly and they go too fast and I have to keep backing up over and over again. Thank you. I spent a year making various size beanies from all types of yarn and today I’m starting this afghan. Since I’m unable to work being handicapped physically, I basically just stay home and keep the place clean, play with our dogs, and knit. I did learn how to do the purl on hats first, though I wish I had learned a long time ago because I wouldn’t have done what I did with so many of the things. Hey, live and learn.
WOW, this makes sense. I can follow you very easily. You go at a slow pace so that I am able to keep up. I don’t have to pause so much. No remember, I’ve only been doing this for less than a month. Thank you so much!
Yes, I have it from time to time where you meet someone that is 10-30 years younger that I just look up to and want to be like when I grow up. (I'm 50+ yrs). It warms my heart when people are wise, smart, and kind altogether, no matter what their age. Thank you for being you're wonderful, kind ,and beautiful to boot self. God bless you for the joy you bring to me and so many others.
Oh, my goodness! You have to be the kindest, best teacher ever! I'm enjoying this video-whivh intimidated me to even think about watching due to the loom. But you are simply wonderful, thank you!
First off, you are STUNNING! SO beautiful! Secondly--I could listen and learn from you all the time! You are so easy to understand, your voice is soothing and made for instructional videos. I am a person who learns best by seeing and you made this so easy to understand. I have made a few scarves and hats but this undertaking will be an experience! I am being blessed with my first grandbaby and want to gift her with something I've created--not a simple task because I only have one hand as I am a partial amputee (fingers crossed 🤞) I have 4.5mos...so this should be doable.
Greetings! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for the lovely comments. Congratulations on the new addition to your family - your first grand baby!! I do believe that everything will turn out well for you. I also want to include part two of this video: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html There may be some things in this video that will help clarify the process even more. Thank you for taking the time to share. I do wish you all the best!🧶🌻
Pretty. I've used my KB Loom once so far. It has been a long while. I like seeing other tutorials for it. I was unfamiliar with the yarn pen. Oh, I made one mistake bone my first blanket. It joined it. Boo boo! So I my blanket is a front and back, if you know what I mean. Lol I snipped the join and tied it off. I can't remember the details. 😊 Its still a big functional blanket. Thanks for sharing.
I ordered me a new loom. Can't wait for mine loom to get here. I want to make a few afghans for Christmas. Your the best teacher I have cane a cross. Thank you for your videos
Hi Tori! Thank you so much for watching and being on the channel. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I am happy that you find the videos helpful. All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶
I have been loom knitting on/off since 2017. This year I wanted to challenge myself with the infinity loom and so glad I came upon your video because it really works for my learning style. Thank you for making it. I also love CindWood Looms and so glad she gave you those tips!
Wonderful! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. Wishing you a joyful and successful loom knitting journey! 🧶🧶🧶🌻
Thank you so much for these loom knitting videos! You are the best! This is my first time knitting on a loom EVER and I am learning from you and actually getting it! I am so excited! I cannot thank you enough. You go at the perfect pace for me to learn and knit with you.
Hi Kim! Thank you for watching. I am glad that you are finding the tutorials helpful. If this is your very first time loom knitting, I would start with something basic first. I have included the links to two beginning loom knitting videos. Making something basic, like a hat, first might help give you a good loom knitting foundation before you start the Afghan loom. I hope you enjoy your wonderful loom knitting journey.

I just came across your video and I love how you explain how to do it. I am currently making my dog a blanket. I am not feeling good and was looking for something to do while I rest and get better.
Hi Shannon! Thank you for your lovely comment. I hope that you are feeling better by now. I have a feeling your dog is going to love the new blanket. 🌻🌻🌻☀️
Greetings! Awesome! Welcome! Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy your loom Knitting journey. If you are brand new to loom knitting, I say work on the round looms first and then the afghan loom. 🌻🧶🧶
I made a blanket with end yarns from all of the hats that I made that you showed us how. it took about 55 hours total. its all different colours. I didn't know about the 4 rows and 4 first and last stitches, so I made the hem myself on both ends by folding over and sewing. then I started another one in just different purples. i'm still working on that one. but i figured out about the first 4 rows myself. I will send a pic to your email when I figure out how - lol. but you have helped me with my next project with those tips. thanks Wambui. you are the best.
I would highly recommend getting a loom knitting pen. They're hard to find, but can easily be made by taking out the inside of a regular pen and pulling yarn thru it. Makes e-wrapping sooo much easier.
Hi aebusta1! That is a wonderful idea and I have been meaning to mention that somewhere in one of my videos. I have tried the pen, and for me - perhaps I just needed to practice some more - but for me, it felt clumsy and seemed to slow me down. However, that is just me. I know that many loom knitters - when using an Afghan loom find the pin very helpful. But, yes this is something I should share with others because for some, it might make things easier for them. I appreciate your feedback. And, thank you for watching. 🧶🧶🌻🧶🌻🧶🌻☀️
Thank you so much! Your videos cover everything, and you manage to go slow enough for me to see and understand what you are doing, and then copy. Your voice is so calming as well. I hope more people see your videos, you make the learning part of loom knitting stress free. ♡♡♡
Thank you for this. You have a wonderful instructing style and radiate joy and enthusiasm. If my high school mathematics teachers were like you, I might have paid attention.
Thank you! What a beautiful comment. Thank you for watching the video - and, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. You could be my little sister. I just turned 74 this week! I appreciate you and wish you well on your loom knitting journey. 🧶🧶🌻
I just Love watching you, you are an excellent teacher. I will get one of those looms. I have round and oblong looms. Thank you for the great teaching. Hugs from Arkansas.
Hi Helen!! Thank you sooo very much! I appreciate you watching. Sending my good wishes to you and all of your loved ones in the great state of Arkansas!!!🌻🧶🌻🧶☀️☀️☀️
My goodness! 70? I wish my skin was as perfect and beautiful as yours and I am only 49. Wow! Thanks so much for making this video. I have an infinity loom thar has just been sitting because I could not find a reliable person to show me how to use it. Many of the videos have people just assuming we know certain things. They are NOT beginner friendly AT ALL. ❤
I have to tell you thank you soon much for teaching me how to do this! I have been struggling with this loom for over a year.I. was just going to give up but Your video was the only one that was thorough enough and me and my husband think you are just amazing !!! Thank you 😊
Hi Christina! First of all, thank you so very much for watching. I am so happy that you found the video helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I wish you and your loved ones the very best!🌻🧶🧶🌻
Greetings! Thank you so much for watching.The key with the afghan looms is patients. It will take some getting used to. However, once you get started, it should be fun and your blanket will look nice. Don’t forget to check out Part 2: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html 🌻🌻🌻🧶
I am new to loom knitting! This was very helpful to me but I’m leaving a comment to tell you you’re an excellent teacher and are a delightful person to listen to. Thank you for making these videos!
Greetings! Thank YOU for watching. I am happy that you found the video helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. All the best to you!!🌻🌻🧶
Thanks so much for this one. I just bought this and can't wait to use it. I have a few babies I want to make blankets for. I also bought the hook you recommended probably a year ago and it's lasted. Thanks again. Love your channel 💚💚💚
Hi Jennifer! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for taking the time to send such a lovely comment. I am spoiled by that ergonomic hook and now find it difficult to use any other hook. All the best to you!!🌻🧶🌻
Was gifted a set of looms and came to find inspiration, and i found you, thank you for sharing! I wanna try to use the big one first but ill try a hat first lol Looks like i got some projects to aspire to make ^_^
Hi TreyJin! Welcome! Thank you for watching. If you are brand new, I would suggest making a hat or another smaller project to get the feel of the loom and the stitches. The afghan loom as a first project can be overwhelming because of the turns and small spaces you will sometimes be working in. I am not saying it can’t be done. However, I would ease into. I am wishing you a great day and some wonderful loom knitted projects!!🌻🧶🧶🧶🌻
I'm so glad I watched your video. I am not a knitter but saw someone using this and thought easy peasy. You explained this perfectly and I am glad you said to maybe consider starting with a hat. I will definitely try something not as complicated! This was an excellent video! Thank you for doing it, I appreciate it very much.
Hi Petey! Thank you so very much for watching. I am happy that you found the tutorial helpful. I also want to make sure that you see part 2 of this video as well: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. All the best to you! 🧶🌻🧶
I love your videos they are helpful with learning to loom. Thank you for sharing your talents. By the way you look amazing for 70s I was guessing 50ish. 💗
I adore the KB large Afghan loan. I just went all the way around with it. It came out amazing. It was so big and I got very carried away with it. Are used the Karen cakes and just when I thought oh that should be enough I had to run to the store to go buy another 2 more balls of yarn. Well needless to say it was enough for two people to cuddle on the couch with it. That is my favorite loom. But I’m watching your video to check this out because I may add this to my loom bucket. I have every brand every size you could possibly imagine. And every time they come out with a new loom I have to get it. There’s only one other room channel that I watch that really got me into illuminating, but I’ve added you to my favorites as well. Another girl from New York well another old Grandma from New York/Long Island who adores Loom knitting. And my youngest granddaughter is my biggest help her. She’s 3 1/2 years old, she loves the feel of the yarn and to smell it and he’s slowly hand me the yarn with any project that I make
Hi Adrienne! Since I stated using CinDWood looms - they are the only looms I want to buy now. I really like working on the wooden looms now. I have seen those Caron cakes. They are huge! I have one and am deciding what I want to make with it. I agree with you - you would think you would never run out! Sounds like you made a huge blanket. I am glad you have a 3 1/2 year old helper. Those are the best kind. Thank you so much for the lovely comments. 🧶🧶🌻🧶🌻🌻☀️☀️
I’m starting mine this weekend thank you for all the helpful videos! They have taught me how to loom I have started with your looming for beginners and now this is my second big project. My first big one was on the flexee loom it was a blanket. Love your videos they are so very helpful! Have a great day!!
Hi Xana! Sounds like an enjoyable and adventurous weekend coming up! Thank you sooo much for watching - and, for the lovely comment. I am happy that you have found the videos helpful. All the best to you and your loved ones!!🌻🌻🧶🌻
Hi Stella! Thank you so very much for watching. I am including a link to part two to this video. In part 2, I make a sample version of what the finished blanket should look like: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html Thank you for the lovely comment. All the best to you!🧶🧶🌻
Excellent tutorial yet again. Just off to EBay to buy an Afghan loom. For your viewers in the U.K. I am buying from Uk knitting looms because they have the Afghan loom with the pegs 9cm apart so I can use two strands of dk. Keep safe X
Hi Lynette! I am glad you found the video helpful. I hope you enjoy your new afghan loom. Thank you for the info about UK knitting looms. I will share with everyone at our next LIVE. I appreciate you. Best wishes to you!!🧶🧶🧶🌻
You are so funny!♥️🤣 This is my 2nd time watching you. I ❤❤❤ the way you explain the looks I started this a long time ago but soon list interest Mostly because I didn't understand the looms or what to do with them. You make this look like so much fun! I have just ordered my new round looms to get started once again. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! It makes me so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tutorial and you are understanding the looms. 👍🏽Wishing you continued success with your loom knitting projects! 🧶💛
Yes, the Afghan loom can be quite frustrating. I decided to do the video to help those who had requested a desire to use the Afghan loom. I am going to make my Afghan as I guide and help others as much as I can. But I think after that, I will stick with the long or round loom and piece the sections together. Enjoy your day! 🧶🧶🧶🌻
I can’t wait to start knitting! I’ve never done it but want to learn and I stumbled upon your UA-cam! Thank you for sharing! And there’s no way you’re 70! You look so much younger than that
Hi Patricia! Thank you for watching - and thank you for the lovely comment. I am excited for you to start loom Knitting!!! However, if you are brand new, I wouldn’t start with the afghan loom right away. I would recommend that you get used to looming on a round or long loom first. The best place to start is here: How to Loom Knit for Beginners: Basic Loom Knit Stitch / DIY Loom Knitting for Beginners - Part1 ua-cam.com/video/1dc9dGiAtqc/v-deo.html I appreciate you. Enjoy your day!🌻🧶🌻🧶🌻
If you have done scarves on the long loom, then you are not a newbie. You will probably do fine on the Afghan bloom. The thing I find with the Afghan loom is that you have to be really really patient. Is yours the KB round or more of the oblong s shaped afghan loom?
Hi MrOshun! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for the lovely comment - and the lovely compliment. FYI: I also want to take this time to make you aware of part two of this video. In part two I actually do a sample demonstration from beginning to end: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html All the best to you and your loved ones!🧶🧶🌻
Greetings! Thank you so very much for watching. I am happy that you find the tutorials helpful. I appreciate your lovely comment. Have a wonderful weekend!!🧶🌻🧶🌻
Hi Bobbie! I am happy that you found the video helpful. Part 2 will show completion of a sample version of the whole afghan: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html Thank you for the lovely comment. Have a wonderful weekend!!🌻🧶🌻🌻
I want to thank you for showing how is done, I love you explanations and you are so patients as well, I am subscribing to learn more from you. Thank you very much.
Hi Gitana! Welcome!! Thank you so much for watching. I am happy that you find the videos helpful. I appreciate the lovely comment. All the best to you!!🌻🧶🌻
Hi, again, Peter!! I appreciate you. After my LIVE stream on April 24th at 6PM est, I will be taking off for a month or so while I regroup. So there may not be any fresh videos for a little while but I’ll be back. Take care!!🧶🧶🧶
Is there a link to the pattern anywhere? I am making a blanket using the full loom and trying to figure out how many rows I need or do I just keep going and measure the length I want? Also thank you so much for the video I tried several other people and this is the first one I actually understood ❤
Hi Steve and Sherry! Thank you so very much for watching. I am happy that you find the videos helpful. Thank you for this lovely comment. All the best to you!🧶🧶🌻
Hi Minerva! Remember, you don’t have to have an Afghan loom to make blankets. You can use the round or the long loom and attach the sections together. I will do a video on that. I hope you are enjoying your day. 🧶🧶🌻
Great job! Can I suggest you use a empty pen barrel and string your yarn through it. It makes it a lot easier to E wrap. It’s a little faster and less stress on your hands. I have arthritis some wrapping with my fingers is very hurtful. With the pen barrel it’s so much easier and faster. I have only made baby blankets on the rectangular loom. You make it look very easy to use this loom so I think I’m going to try it. Because of my arthritis I haven’t been able to knit in years. I am wanting to make a bedspread and I believe I will with this loom. By the way you look fabulous I never would have thought you were 70. 50s yes 70 no way. Continue with the great video. You are easy to follow along with. God bless!
Hi Angie! Thank you for such a lovely comment. I appreciate you watching. Thank you for the pen barrel suggestion. Several of the people on this channel have suggested the the pen barrel to me as well. I think I will make a short video to let others know as well. Thank you. Stay wonderful!🧶🌻🧶🌻
Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial! I was having some trouble getting started and your video was amazing. You’re so joyful, it makes me happy too!
Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for watching. I am glad that you found a tutorial helpful. Thank you for the lovely comment. It means a lot to me. I also want to make sure that you have seen part two. In this video I actually do a full sample of what the Blanket should look like: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html All the best to you!🧶🌻🧶
Hi Kelii! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. It means a lot to me. All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶
Hi Erin! Thank you! What a wonderful comment. I think I am starting to ‘feel’ my age - lately all I want to do is nap. I’m going to credit it mostly to genes. Stay fabulous! I appreciate you. 🌷🌷🌷🧶
@@WambuiMadeIt Black Don’t Crack!!!! I am a knitter ...I haven’t loom since..I was a child....Do u have a video on looming a sweater......Thank U.....Stay Safe Ms.
I didn't know about these looms. I saw another person put the yarn through a straw and wined the loops though that way. He cut the straw to make it smaller so he could hold it and wined the yarn around. You 70.you look 40. Amazing!
Hi Gwendolyn! Thank you for the lovely comment. Thank you for watching. Yes, several people have let me know about the straw. Most people say it works great for them. I never got the ‘hang’ of it and just prefer to use my fingers to wrap the pegs. I have often said that I will do a video to demonstrate for those who want to do it. Thank you for reminding me. I appreciate you. All the best to you! 🧶🧶🌻🧶
Hii my friend'.. I was wondering... Do you have any video instruction on knitting machines. my daughter just bought me a 22 needle Sentro knitting machine... Do you have any videos on how to use them? I know there are other videos out there but you are my favorite instructor ...You talk at my speed, cause slow and easy wins the race_Oh by the way my name is Linda Rogers
Greetings Linda Rodgers! Thank you so very much for being on the channel. Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out and leave such a lovely comment. Unfortunately, I have never worked on any knitting machines at all. I don't own one, and I am unfamiliar with how they work. I am so sorry that I cannot help you get started with your knitting. It sounds like it's going to be fun. I am confident you will find someone that will be able to explain your machine to you and help you get started. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, and I wish you only good things.🌻🌻🌻🧶
Hi. Thank you for doing this video. My question is when you cast on and then go back to put the second loops on, is there only one loop on the last peg? Thanks.
Hi Debbie! Yes, before starting a new row, there should only be one loop on each peg. - I hope I understood what you were asking. Let me know if I totally missed it. Otherwise, -I wish you all the best!!🌻🌻🧶🌻
Hi Jean! First of all, thank you so very much for watching. Yes I love this necklace - I love all of my five dollar necklaces that look sooo good🤗. Thank you for the lovely comment. All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶
Hi Carmen! Thank you sooo very much for watching and being on the channel. Wow! Thank you for the lovely comment. How kind of you! It really means a lot to me. I am wishing you all the best and much success!!🌻🧶🌻🌻
How do I use an S loom to make different sizes of blankets? Is there a row equivalent? I’m really struggling on both S and circle looms. Considering to use cardboard loom I used to do as a kid but can’t find cardboard big enough for the dimension needed
Hi! This video was very helpful, I followed along and it was great. I did get a little confused because there is a cut between finishing pulling the loops over and jumps to after you started the purl stitch. I think I can figure it out, but that part is a little confusing (I also am very new to this, maybe it's easier for someone with more experience). Thank you for the video, you're a great teacher!
Greetings! Thank you so very much for watching. I am happy that you found the video helpful - even though there was a part that you felt was confusing. I apologize for any confusion. It is my goal to make sure that everything is as clear and precise as possible. Thank you for letting me know. I will see if there’s perhaps and amendment video I can do to make it clearer. It sounds like your Afghan turned out great. And I am happy for that. Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely comment. All the best to you!🧶🧶🌻
Hi Foxtrot! Thank you so very much for watching. The Afghan loom can be a lot of fun. However, If you are a beginner to loom knitting, I would get used to using the round loom first. Thank you for the lovely comment. I wish you great success!🌻🌻🧶
Yes I do have a question;) After doing the first complete 2 rows of ewrap, suddenly the video has you doing purl stitches. My question is when you finished the 2nd full wrap row and about to start back, did you do those 4 pegs that K1, P1, K1, P1 first? then continue with the purl stitch only? Thank you in advance....wonderful how you beautifully explain slowly and make it easy too.
Hi Vikki! First of all, thank you for watching. I am sorry for any confusion the video may have caused. Here is the link to Part 2: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html I believe the pattern and everything are much clearer in this video. Nothing is done with the marked pegs for the first 4 rows. The first row is all e-wraps, the second row is all purls, the third row is all e-wraps, the 4th row is all purls. Then the next rows ALL begin with the first 4 pegs alternating - everything else is knitted until the last 4 pegs of each row. The link I have included will demonstrate better. In the mean time, I wish you a joyful and peaceful day!🧶🧶🌻
I love love love watching your videos. I’ve learned how to loom knit threw watching you! Thank you! So...I am fairly new at loom knitting but I started on this bigger loom to make a blanket. But I’ve noticed that my blanket looks longer on 1 side? Do you know why this could be??
Hi Angela!! Thank you so much for watching. I am happy that you have found the videos helpful. Let me start with what is usually the most common reason for the blanket looking long on one side. Maybe you have done this - if you have - let me know and I will try to help you from there. -- The thing to try is this: Use a measuring tape to measure both sides and see if there is a difference after you measure. I have often thought that my sides didn’t match, however, it was just the way one side was hanging longer. But, after measuring, they were they same. If this is NOT the case with you, let me know so that I might try to help figure out what might be happening to cause this.🌻🌻🌻🧶
Hi Mary! The amount of skeins of yarn will depend on the the brand and type of yarn you use and of course how large you want your blanket to be. Red Heart blanket yarns average about 500 yds a skein. According to a chart I saw on line, a large Afghan is about 2000 yards. If you are using skeins like red heart, it may take about 4 or 5. Check the yarn label to see how many yards are in it. Then divide 2000 by that number. -- if you are making a large Afghan. 🌷🌷🌷☀️🧶
Greetings! I appreciate you watching. Thank you so very much. If you have never loom knitted before, I do recommend starting on the round loom. This is a great beginner video: How to Loom Knit for Beginners: Basic Loom Knit Stitch / DIY Loom Knitting for Beginners - Part1 ua-cam.com/video/1dc9dGiAtqc/v-deo.html While the afghan or infinity looms are great, if you are new to loom knitting, they can be a bit overwhelming. I would not make those looms my first try. Wishing you a wonderful day!🌻🧶🌻
This is my first time seeing your videos and I'm in love! Thank you so much for the way you explain everything so clearly that I can easily follow along! I feel like I'm learning from a friend. I can tell you have a beautiful soul! A question for you...If I want my afghan to be only 60 inches wide, do I just measure about where 60' would be on the loom and stop there?
Hi Karen! Thank you for the lovely comment. For 60 inches, I would add another 10 inches and used that amount of pegs that you have at 70 inches. The blankets tend to shrink in several inches when you take them off the loom. Also, here is Part 2: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html Thank you for watching!🧶🧶🧶🌻
Here is Part 2 of this video. In Part 2, I completely finish a miniature version of the afghan. You might find this helpful. Thank you.

Thank you so much
I wish I had had more teachers like you when I was younger. I had a few. The way you explain things and how you carry yourself is comforting. I don't feel intimidated or overwhelmed. I feel included. Thank you so much for these videos.
Hi Linsanity! Thank you so very much for watching. I am glad that you find the videos helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. It means a lot to me. All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶
Ditto!
Finally, someone who does it so it’s easy to follow along. So many people make these videos and just, they just don’t get the explanations properly and they go too fast and I have to keep backing up over and over again. Thank you. I spent a year making various size beanies from all types of yarn and today I’m starting this afghan. Since I’m unable to work being handicapped physically, I basically just stay home and keep the place clean, play with our dogs, and knit. I did learn how to do the purl on hats first, though I wish I had learned a long time ago because I wouldn’t have done what I did with so many of the things. Hey, live and learn.
Wow, 70 I would have never guessed! You are a beautiful lady inside and out! Thanks so much for these tutorials!
Thank you so very much for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorials. Thank you for the lovely comment. I wish you nothing but the very best!🧶✨🧶
Oh my gosh, you are so pretty and happy. When I watch your videos, it brightens my day.
Hi Brenda! Thank you for such a lovely comment. You just brighten my day! Thank you for watching. All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶🌻
New here and I think she's gorgeous and so comforting to listen to and great teaching
WOW, this makes sense. I can follow you very easily. You go at a slow pace so that I am able to keep up. I don’t have to pause so much. No remember, I’ve only been doing this for less than a month. Thank you so much!
Hi Juliet! Welcome! I am happy you found the video helpful. I appreciate you watching and your lovely comment. All the best to you! 🧶🧶🌻🧶🧶🌻
Yes, I have it from time to time where you meet someone that is 10-30 years younger that I just look up to and want to be like when I grow up. (I'm 50+ yrs). It warms my heart when people are wise, smart, and kind altogether, no matter what their age. Thank you for being you're wonderful, kind ,and beautiful to boot self. God bless you for the joy you bring to me and so many others.
Hi MrsMika! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a beautiful comment. I appreciate you. God bless!🌻🌻🧶
I'm 80 and do the same thing at times!!!
Oh, my goodness! You have to be the kindest, best teacher ever! I'm enjoying this video-whivh intimidated me to even think about watching due to the loom. But you are simply wonderful, thank you!
Hi Reed! I appreciate you watching. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. All the best to you!!🌻🌻🧶🌻
I absolutely LOVE that you use the word wonky. It's my favorite. And I love how you explain the patterns. Thank you so much!!
Hi J M! I really appreciate you watching. Thank you for your lovely comment. Yes, wonky is a good and underused word 🤗. All the best to you!!🌻🧶🌻
First off, you are STUNNING! SO beautiful! Secondly--I could listen and learn from you all the time! You are so easy to understand, your voice is soothing and made for instructional videos. I am a person who learns best by seeing and you made this so easy to understand. I have made a few scarves and hats but this undertaking will be an experience! I am being blessed with my first grandbaby and want to gift her with something I've created--not a simple task because I only have one hand as I am a partial amputee (fingers crossed 🤞) I have 4.5mos...so this should be doable.
Greetings! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for the lovely comments. Congratulations on the new addition to your family - your first grand baby!! I do believe that everything will turn out well for you. I also want to include part two of this video: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html
There may be some things in this video that will help clarify the process even more. Thank you for taking the time to share. I do wish you all the best!🧶🌻
I got my infinity loom today thank God for you and your patience
Pretty. I've used my KB Loom once so far. It has been a long while. I like seeing other tutorials for it. I was unfamiliar with the yarn pen. Oh, I made one mistake bone my first blanket. It joined it. Boo boo! So I my blanket is a front and back, if you know what I mean. Lol I snipped the join and tied it off. I can't remember the details. 😊 Its still a big functional blanket. Thanks for sharing.
I ordered me a new loom. Can't wait for mine loom to get here. I want to make a few afghans for Christmas. Your the best teacher I have cane a cross. Thank you for your videos
Hi Susie! Congratulations! I am excited for you! I wish you many enjoyable hours of loom knitting - and many wonderful afghans. 🌻🧶🧶🧶🌻
I’ve only done hats until now but I’m making progress! Your tutorial is really easy to follow and you seem like a genuinely nice person! Thank you!
Hi Tori! Thank you so much for watching and being on the channel. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I am happy that you find the videos helpful. All the best to you!🌻🌻🧶
I have been loom knitting on/off since 2017. This year I wanted to challenge myself with the infinity loom and so glad I came upon your video because it really works for my learning style. Thank you for making it. I also love CindWood Looms and so glad she gave you those tips!
Wonderful! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. Wishing you a joyful and successful loom knitting journey! 🧶🧶🧶🌻
Thank you so much for these loom knitting videos! You are the best! This is my first time knitting on a loom EVER and I am learning from you and actually getting it! I am so excited! I cannot thank you enough. You go at the perfect pace for me to learn and knit with you.
Hi Kim! Thank you for watching. I am glad that you are finding the tutorials helpful. If this is your very first time loom knitting, I would start with something basic first. I have included the links to two beginning loom knitting videos. Making something basic, like a hat, first might help give you a good loom knitting foundation before you start the Afghan loom. I hope you enjoy your wonderful loom knitting journey.

I just came across your video and I love how you explain how to do it. I am currently making my dog a blanket. I am not feeling good and was looking for something to do while I rest and get better.
Hi Shannon! Thank you for your lovely comment. I hope that you are feeling better by now. I have a feeling your dog is going to love the new blanket. 🌻🌻🌻☀️
What a gracious, lovely instructor. Wshing you nothing but the best of health and happiness. You are a dear...
I love your hair! Thank you for sharing. This is something to look forward to. I'm a beginner!
Greetings! Awesome! Welcome! Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy your loom Knitting journey. If you are brand new to loom knitting, I say work on the round looms first and then the afghan loom. 🌻🧶🧶
I made a blanket with end yarns from all of the hats that I made that you showed us how. it took about 55 hours total. its all different colours. I didn't know about the 4 rows and 4 first and last stitches, so I made the hem myself on both ends by folding over and sewing. then I started another one in just different purples. i'm still working on that one. but i figured out about the first 4 rows myself. I will send a pic to your email when I figure out how - lol. but you have helped me with my next project with those tips. thanks Wambui. you are the best.
Hi! Yes, I just responded to your email!! Your work is beautiful. I will share at the next LIVE and add to our subscriber gallery. Thank you.🧶🧶🧶🧶🌻
I would highly recommend getting a loom knitting pen. They're hard to find, but can easily be made by taking out the inside of a regular pen and pulling yarn thru it. Makes e-wrapping sooo much easier.
Hi aebusta1! That is a wonderful idea and I have been meaning to mention that somewhere in one of my videos. I have tried the pen, and for me - perhaps I just needed to practice some more - but for me, it felt clumsy and seemed to slow me down. However, that is just me. I know that many loom knitters - when using an Afghan loom find the pin very helpful. But, yes this is something I should share with others because for some, it might make things easier for them. I appreciate your feedback. And, thank you for watching. 🧶🧶🌻🧶🌻🧶🌻☀️
Ahh how does this lady not have more support 😭😭😩
Hi David! Thank you. How sweet of you. Stay wonderful and all the best to you!!☀️🧶🧶🧶☀️
Thank you so much! Your videos cover everything, and you manage to go slow enough for me to see and understand what you are doing, and then copy. Your voice is so calming as well. I hope more people see your videos, you make the learning part of loom knitting stress free. ♡♡♡
Hi Lindsay! I am sooo happy that you found the video helpful. I appreciate the lovely comment. Thank you sooo very much for watching. 🌻🌻🧶🌻🌻🧶
Aww, no, thank you for the videos ♡♡♡
Thank you for this. You have a wonderful instructing style and radiate joy and enthusiasm. If my high school mathematics teachers were like you, I might have paid attention.
Wow 70 you look beautiful what a great teacher.
Thank you! What a beautiful comment. Thank you for watching the video - and, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. You could be my little sister. I just turned 74 this week! I appreciate you and wish you well on your loom knitting journey. 🧶🧶🌻
I just Love watching you, you are an excellent teacher. I will get one of those looms. I have round and oblong looms. Thank you for the great teaching. Hugs from Arkansas.
Hi Helen!! Thank you sooo very much! I appreciate you watching. Sending my good wishes to you and all of your loved ones in the great state of Arkansas!!!🌻🧶🌻🧶☀️☀️☀️
My goodness! 70? I wish my skin was as perfect and beautiful as yours and I am only 49. Wow! Thanks so much for making this video. I have an infinity loom thar has just been sitting because I could not find a reliable person to show me how to use it. Many of the videos have people just assuming we know certain things. They are NOT beginner friendly AT ALL. ❤
I have to tell you thank you soon much for teaching me how to do this! I have been struggling with this loom for over a year.I. was just going to give up but Your video was the only one that was thorough enough and me and my husband think you are just amazing !!!
Thank you 😊
Hi Christina! First of all, thank you so very much for watching. I am so happy that you found the video helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. I wish you and your loved ones the very best!🌻🧶🧶🌻
Thank you so much for explaining how to use this, I just got it and hope to make a blanket
Greetings! Thank you so much for watching.The key with the afghan looms is patients. It will take some getting used to. However, once you get started, it should be fun and your blanket will look nice. Don’t forget to check out Part 2: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html 🌻🌻🌻🧶
I love your tutorial, so easy for people who are starting here, thank you, we need here more people like you ❤

I knit left handed, although I am actually right handed. Thank you for the wonderful way you teach looming, something new to me.
Hi Nedra!! Welcome! Thank you for watching. I appreciate your lovely comment. Best wishes to you!!🧶🧶🌻
Yes , Cindy is so wonderful
Yes, indeed, she is!😀
This was the most informative tutorial I’ve watched and I think I’ve watched them all lol thank you for this. I can’t wait to start my afghan ❤️
Hi Sarah! Thank you so very much for watching. I am glad that you found the video helpful. Thank you for the lovely comment. All the best to you🌻🌻🧶
Thanks so much for this one. I just bought this and can't wait to use it. I have a few babies I want to make blankets for. I also bought the hook you recommended probably a year ago and it's lasted. Thanks again. Love your channel 💚💚💚
Hi Jennifer! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for taking the time to send such a lovely comment. I am spoiled by that ergonomic hook and now find it difficult to use any other hook. All the best to you!!🌻🧶🌻
@@WambuiMadeIt I watched this again and it has got me started on my first afghan. Thanks again!
Was gifted a set of looms and came to find inspiration, and i found you, thank you for sharing! I wanna try to use the big one first but ill try a hat first lol Looks like i got some projects to aspire to make ^_^
Hi TreyJin! Welcome! Thank you for watching. If you are brand new, I would suggest making a hat or another smaller project to get the feel of the loom and the stitches. The afghan loom as a first project can be overwhelming because of the turns and small spaces you will sometimes be working in. I am not saying it can’t be done. However, I would ease into. I am wishing you a great day and some wonderful loom knitted projects!!🌻🧶🧶🧶🌻
I'm so glad I watched your video. I am not a knitter but saw someone using this and thought easy peasy. You explained this perfectly and I am glad you said to maybe consider starting with a hat. I will definitely try something not as complicated! This was an excellent video! Thank you for doing it, I appreciate it very much.
Hi Petey! Thank you so very much for watching. I am happy that you found the tutorial helpful. I also want to make sure that you see part 2 of this video as well:

I love your videos they are helpful with learning to loom. Thank you for sharing your talents. By the way you look amazing for 70s I was guessing 50ish. 💗
Hi Jennifer! I am happy that you find the videos helpful. I appreciate you watching. Thank you for the lovely comment. All the best to you!!🌻🌻🧶🌻
I adore the KB large Afghan loan. I just went all the way around with it. It came out amazing. It was so big and I got very carried away with it. Are used the Karen cakes and just when I thought oh that should be enough I had to run to the store to go buy another 2 more balls of yarn. Well needless to say it was enough for two people to cuddle on the couch with it. That is my favorite loom. But I’m watching your video to check this out because I may add this to my loom bucket. I have every brand every size you could possibly imagine. And every time they come out with a new loom I have to get it. There’s only one other room channel that I watch that really got me into illuminating, but I’ve added you to my favorites as well. Another girl from New York well another old Grandma from New York/Long Island who adores Loom knitting. And my youngest granddaughter is my biggest help her. She’s 3 1/2 years old, she loves the feel of the yarn and to smell it and he’s slowly hand me the yarn with any project that I make
Hi Adrienne! Since I stated using CinDWood looms - they are the only looms I want to buy now. I really like working on the wooden looms now. I have seen those Caron cakes. They are huge! I have one and am deciding what I want to make with it. I agree with you - you would think you would never run out! Sounds like you made a huge blanket. I am glad you have a 3 1/2 year old helper. Those are the best kind. Thank you so much for the lovely comments. 🧶🧶🌻🧶🌻🌻☀️☀️
*Can’t believe you’re 70! ..You look amazing 🙌🥰
Thank you, Tina!!
I’m starting mine this weekend thank you for all the helpful videos! They have taught me how to loom I have started with your looming for beginners and now this is my second big project. My first big one was on the flexee loom it was a blanket. Love your videos they are so very helpful! Have a great day!!
Hi Xana! Sounds like an enjoyable and adventurous weekend coming up! Thank you sooo much for watching - and, for the lovely comment. I am happy that you have found the videos helpful. All the best to you and your loved ones!!🌻🌻🧶🌻

Excellent tutorial yet again. Just off to EBay to buy an Afghan loom. For your viewers in the U.K. I am buying from Uk knitting looms because they have the Afghan loom with the pegs 9cm apart so I can use two strands of dk. Keep safe X
Hi Lynette! I am glad you found the video helpful. I hope you enjoy your new afghan loom. Thank you for the info about UK knitting looms. I will share with everyone at our next LIVE. I appreciate you. Best wishes to you!!🧶🧶🧶🌻
You are so funny!♥️🤣
This is my 2nd time watching you. I ❤❤❤ the way you explain the looks
I started this a long time ago but soon list interest Mostly because I didn't understand the looms or what to do with them. You make this look like so much fun! I have just ordered my new round looms to get started once again.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! It makes me so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tutorial and you are understanding the looms. 👍🏽Wishing you continued success with your loom knitting projects! 🧶💛
My daughter is getting so frustrated working on her Afghan loom but she is trying hard ... thank you for this amazing video. Take care !! 🙃🌻💗💕🧶
Yes, the Afghan loom can be quite frustrating. I decided to do the video to help those who had requested a desire to use the Afghan loom. I am going to make my Afghan as I guide and help others as much as I can. But I think after that, I will stick with the long or round loom and piece the sections together. Enjoy your day! 🧶🧶🧶🌻
I'm in love w u n your channel. Ty 4 sharing all your knowledge.
Thank you. I appreciate you being here. All the best to you. 🧶🧶🧶🌻
I can’t wait to start knitting! I’ve never done it but want to learn and I stumbled upon your UA-cam! Thank you for sharing! And there’s no way you’re 70! You look so much younger than that
Hi Patricia! Thank you for watching - and thank you for the lovely comment. I am excited for you to start loom Knitting!!! However, if you are brand new, I wouldn’t start with the afghan loom right away. I would recommend that you get used to looming on a round or long loom first. The best place to start is here: How to Loom Knit for Beginners: Basic Loom Knit Stitch / DIY Loom Knitting for Beginners - Part1 ua-cam.com/video/1dc9dGiAtqc/v-deo.html I appreciate you. Enjoy your day!🌻🧶🌻🧶🌻
How is it going? I'm trying this too. Looks complicated!
Well I've done a long loom for scarves. I guess this may be too much for me! Wish they had told me that!
If you have done scarves on the long loom, then you are not a newbie. You will probably do fine on the Afghan bloom. The thing I find with the Afghan loom is that you have to be really really patient. Is yours the KB round or more of the oblong s shaped afghan loom?
I have a Afghan loom and I made 3 blankets and I love it thank you for sharing your video.
Hi Martina! I am happy to hear that!! Thank you so much for watching. I wish you all the best and continued success!!🧶🧶🌻

Is there a link to the pattern anywhere? I am making a blanket using the full loom and trying to figure out how many rows I need or do I just keep going and measure the length I want?
Also thank you so much for the video I tried several other people and this is the first one I actually understood ❤

Thank you Wambui I cant wait to receive mine and start using it, I will follow your instructions, have a fantastic day
Hi Minerva! Remember, you don’t have to have an Afghan loom to make blankets. You can use the round or the long loom and attach the sections together. I will do a video on that. I hope you are enjoying your day. 🧶🧶🌻
Great job! Can I suggest you use a empty pen barrel and string your yarn through it. It makes it a lot easier to E wrap. It’s a little faster and less stress on your hands. I have arthritis some wrapping with my fingers is very hurtful. With the pen barrel it’s so much easier and faster. I have only made baby blankets on the rectangular loom. You make it look very easy to use this loom so I think I’m going to try it. Because of my arthritis I haven’t been able to knit in years. I am wanting to make a bedspread and I believe I will with this loom. By the way you look fabulous I never would have thought you were 70. 50s yes 70 no way. Continue with the great video. You are easy to follow along with. God bless!
Hi Angie! Thank you for such a lovely comment. I appreciate you watching. Thank you for the pen barrel suggestion. Several of the people on this channel have suggested the the pen barrel to me as well. I think I will make a short video to let others know as well. Thank you. Stay wonderful!🧶🌻🧶🌻
Really enjoyed your instructions. Very helpful.
Hi Joanne! Thank you. I appreciate your lovely message. Take care!🌻🧶🌻

I am a knitter ...I haven’t loom since..I was a child....Do u have a video on looming a sweater......Thank U.....Stay Safe Ms.
I didn't know about these looms. I saw another person put the yarn through a straw and wined the loops though that way. He cut the straw to make it smaller so he could hold it and wined the yarn around. You 70.you look 40. Amazing!
Hi Gwendolyn! Thank you for the lovely comment. Thank you for watching. Yes, several people have let me know about the straw. Most people say it works great for them. I never got the ‘hang’ of it and just prefer to use my fingers to wrap the pegs. I have often said that I will do a video to demonstrate for those who want to do it. Thank you for reminding me. I appreciate you. All the best to you! 🧶🧶🌻🧶

Hii my friend'.. I was wondering... Do you have any video instruction on knitting machines. my daughter just bought me a 22 needle Sentro knitting machine... Do you have any videos on how to use them? I know there are other videos out there but you are my favorite instructor ...You talk at my speed, cause slow and easy wins the race_Oh by the way my name is Linda Rogers
Greetings Linda Rodgers! Thank you so very much for being on the channel. Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out and leave such a lovely comment. Unfortunately, I have never worked on any knitting machines at all. I don't own one, and I am unfamiliar with how they work. I am so sorry that I cannot help you get started with your knitting. It sounds like it's going to be fun. I am confident you will find someone that will be able to explain your machine to you and help you get started. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, and I wish you only good things.🌻🌻🌻🧶
Hi. Thank you for doing this video. My question is when you cast on and then go back to put the second loops on, is there only one loop on the last peg? Thanks.
Hi Debbie! Yes, before starting a new row, there should only be one loop on each peg. - I hope I understood what you were asking. Let me know if I totally missed it. Otherwise, -I wish you all the best!!🌻🌻🧶🌻
Thank you very much for this video. I seen your other videos and you are easy to follow.

How do I use an S loom to make different sizes of blankets? Is there a row equivalent? I’m really struggling on both S and circle looms. Considering to use cardboard loom I used to do as a kid but can’t find cardboard big enough for the dimension needed
Hi! This video was very helpful, I followed along and it was great. I did get a little confused because there is a cut between finishing pulling the loops over and jumps to after you started the purl stitch. I think I can figure it out, but that part is a little confusing (I also am very new to this, maybe it's easier for someone with more experience). Thank you for the video, you're a great teacher!
Greetings! Thank you so very much for watching. I am happy that you found the video helpful - even though there was a part that you felt was confusing. I apologize for any confusion. It is my goal to make sure that everything is as clear and precise as possible. Thank you for letting me know. I will see if there’s perhaps and amendment video I can do to make it clearer. It sounds like your Afghan turned out great. And I am happy for that. Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely comment. All the best to you!🧶🧶🌻
I am so going to get me one of these.
Hi Foxtrot! Thank you so very much for watching. The Afghan loom can be a lot of fun. However, If you are a beginner to loom knitting, I would get used to using the round loom first. Thank you for the lovely comment. I wish you great success!🌻🌻🧶
Yes I do have a question;) After doing the first complete 2 rows of ewrap, suddenly the video has you doing purl stitches. My question is when you finished the 2nd full wrap row and about to start back, did you do those 4 pegs that K1, P1, K1, P1 first? then continue with the purl stitch only? Thank you in advance....wonderful how you beautifully explain slowly and make it easy too.
Hi Vikki! First of all, thank you for watching. I am sorry for any confusion the video may have caused. Here is the link to Part 2: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It ua-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/v-deo.html
I believe the pattern and everything are much clearer in this video.
Nothing is done with the marked pegs for the first 4 rows. The first row is all e-wraps, the second row is all purls, the third row is all e-wraps, the 4th row is all purls. Then the next rows ALL begin with the first 4 pegs alternating - everything else is knitted until the last 4 pegs of each row. The link I have included will demonstrate better. In the mean time, I wish you a joyful and peaceful day!🧶🧶🌻
@@WambuiMadeIt Oh thank you so much. I have watched Pt.2 and yes I can see better the correct way to continue. Kind of you to take the time to reply:)
I love love love watching your videos. I’ve learned how to loom knit threw watching you! Thank you! So...I am fairly new at loom knitting but I started on this bigger loom to make a blanket. But I’ve noticed that my blanket looks longer on 1 side? Do you know why this could be??
Hi Angela!! Thank you so much for watching. I am happy that you have found the videos helpful. Let me start with what is usually the most common reason for the blanket looking long on one side. Maybe you have done this - if you have - let me know and I will try to help you from there. -- The thing to try is this: Use a measuring tape to measure both sides and see if there is a difference after you measure. I have often thought that my sides didn’t match, however, it was just the way one side was hanging longer. But, after measuring, they were they same. If this is NOT the case with you, let me know so that I might try to help figure out what might be happening to cause this.🌻🌻🌻🧶
I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks so much. Question how many skeins do you think this will
require?
Hi Mary! The amount of skeins of yarn will depend on the the brand and type of yarn you use and of course how large you want your blanket to be. Red Heart blanket yarns average about 500 yds a skein. According to a chart I saw on line, a large Afghan is about 2000 yards. If you are using skeins like red heart, it may take about 4 or 5. Check the yarn label to see how many yards are in it. Then divide 2000 by that number. -- if you are making a large Afghan. 🌷🌷🌷☀️🧶

Hi Kenya! Thank you you for watching and I am glad that you found the video helpful. All the best to you!!🌻🌻🧶🌻
I am thinking of getting into looming! This seems vary relaxing and easy to learn!
Thanks for the great video!!

Greetings! I appreciate you watching. Thank you so very much. If you have never loom knitted before, I do recommend starting on the round loom. This is a great beginner video: How to Loom Knit for Beginners: Basic Loom Knit Stitch / DIY Loom Knitting for Beginners - Part1 ua-cam.com/video/1dc9dGiAtqc/v-deo.html
While the afghan or infinity looms are great, if you are new to loom knitting, they can be a bit overwhelming. I would not make those looms my first try. Wishing you a wonderful day!🌻🧶🌻
I just love you I want to be like you when I grow up!

Greetings Siobhan! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for the very lovely comment. Wow! You have made my day! 🤗 All the best to you!🧶🧶🌻
This is my first time seeing your videos and I'm in love! Thank you so much for the way you explain everything so clearly that I can easily follow along! I feel like I'm learning from a friend. I can tell you have a beautiful soul! A question for you...If I want my afghan to be only 60 inches wide, do I just measure about where 60' would be on the loom and stop there?
Hi Karen! Thank you for the lovely comment. For 60 inches, I would add another 10 inches and used that amount of pegs that you have at 70 inches. The blankets tend to shrink in several inches when you take them off the loom. Also, here is Part 2:
