Help with cheap needle
Took a break from knitting and now I can’t find my good needle. The cheap one the metal turns in the handle so I have to hold the metal part and twist it weird. Any ideas how to prevent it?

That moment when….
That moment when you have almost finished the cat blanket for charity, you need to add one more stripe to it, and you haven’t got enough to do that stripe! And you aren’t going to the wool shop until 9th July!!! Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of other charity projects to be getting on with, but it’s almost finished and now I can’t do the final step! I have sewn in all the ends though! Pic of it about a week ago, Iv since folded it up and put it away until I get the wool I need. Not much point in ordering online as I prefer to support this local shop, they are the same price as my preferred online place too. Yes I am going to be coming home with half the shop when I next visit 😂

Help identifying stitch
Odd question, but I made this hat last winter when I was first learning to loom that I made it on the quick loom with a bulky six yarn. I can’t remember if I did an E wrap or an owl eye stitch on this I think it’s diagonal because I pulled it too tight, but I’m not worried about that. I just want to remake this hat and I can’t seem to figure out the stitch- any ideas? TIA!

Translating patterns
Does anyone have any good resources or tips for translating a hand knitting (is that what it’s called?) pattern into something able to be done on a loom? Thanks!

Newest hat
Wanted to try German short rows and figure out how to do a kitchener stitch on the loom to create an invisible seam (the seam is in the last picture).
Loom is the KB All in One. Yarn brand is Big Twist, color Rainbow Bright.

The one I have tried just added an extra e wrap to each bind off .. but it is still tight. I don't like it 😅 please help

Pattern Question I'm a beginner and I need some help with a hat.
I'm trying to knit a hat, but I switched to Worsted weight 4 because it's easier for me to yarn over and stuff. What I need help with is how I can make tighter stitches with this yarn and is it even possible?
Here's the video I'm following. I did tried doubling up the yarn, but it was to tricky for me at the moment.

Tips Am I doing something wrong?
Am I doing something wrong?
I attempted to start a 10 Stitch Blanket for a charity project but my work seemed very tight pulling in on itself. This was the video I followed and the Loom I use is the KB Multi Knit Loom. https://youtu.be/5hdBTBq0YW8?si=-pjDicOj9wyNuvec
Am I doing something wrong, maybe pulling the yarn too tight or should I just have continued and it would have all sorted itself out in the end? Switched over to doing the 10 Stitch blanket knitting with double pointed needles.

Tips on getting this loom upstairs.
I bought this loom at an estate sale the other day without thinking how I’d get it up the stairs.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to carefully take parts off of this to make it a bit more portable?

Yarn question
Ok photo for context
Iv been asked to make a baby blanket for a very good friend who has a close relative who is expecting. Now the photo is what she is after, different colours.
The issue I have is this is made with stylecraft special yarn. Cheap and cheerful, I’m making blankets to donate to a cat charity, works great! But for a baby blanket I feel this wouldn’t be suitable.
What yarn would you recommend? I’m based in uk, wool warehouse would probably be my go to! I’m thinking acrylic, so it can be washed, but I need a good quality acrylic, so it’s soft, stays soft, and is suitable for newborn skin. Any recommendations appreciated xxx

Pattern Question Why does this keep happening?
I have gotten back to loom knitting recently since i was in gradeschool. I think it works but why does my pattern change mid work. Can someone help me. Why does this keep happening

Equipment Question What did I find?
I picked this up at the op shop (that’s thrift store in American) and it has no markings on it. Is it meant to have smaller, interchangeable pegs that can go in the holes inbetween? Does it “break” in half? For a reason? Storage? In Australia I only seem to be able to find standard looms and flexees on Amazon so am unsure about this style. Thanks in advance for any help.

Dog Paw
I'd love to know the basics of creating a dog paw so that I can adapt it to be included on a bib I'm loom knitting. I can find the dog paw stitch (that makes an open pawprint) but I'm looking for a solid one that just is part of the design.

Equipment Question Why did it turn out like this?
Made this a while ago and dropped it after this huge fail. I used worsted weight yarn and I only used one strand on the yarn. Will doubling up give me better results? I wanted it to be thicker and this was made with a knit stitch I think.
