<b><i>This is an easy, peasy slow cooker recipe</i></b>. It's super tasty, a little spicy and it fits the Meditteranean, vegan or pescatarian lifestyle. If you're vegan, just omit the shrimp and add an extra vegan sausage link (it's just as tasty). The sausage is plant-based so it fits most diets. I do not add a lot of sausage as I now see any meat or processed food as a seasoning/flavoring and not a large part of the meal. I've included two nutritional analyses below; one for the pescatarian version and the other is for the vegan version. It is analyzed by VeryWell, not me. I am not a health/nutrition expert.<br />
<br />
Feel free to chop your own tomatoes (I'm lazy in this area if I can find canned, no-salt-added). 2 Large tomatoes should be fine.<br />
<br />
Use a slow cooker on low or a dutch oven, placed in the oven, set to 190 degrees. I like the dutch oven since I can brown and slow cook all in one pot. I recommend being in the house if using the oven method. I also slow cook my meals for a shorter period of time than usual as I see no reason to kill all of those great nutrients in your food.<br />
<br />
You will also see that I use both sodium and potassium salts. Sodium makes your blood pressure go up and potassium lowers it so I usually use a balance of both when I want more salty taste. You can use any salt you desire for this recipe. Talk to your doctor, some people can't have either...so sad :(<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Vegan/Pescatarian Jambalaya (plant based recipe)</span></b></div>
<br />
<b>Prep: </b> 20 MIN <b>Cook: </b>4-5 hours on low, slow cooker setting.<br />
<b>Makes: </b> 8 Servings<br />
<br />
Spritz of avocado oil/or olive oil<br />
1 Vegan Field Roast Italian Sausage link <a href="https://www.target.com/p/field-roast-vegan-smoked-apple-sage-vegetarian-sausage-12-95oz/-/A-53129349" target="_blank">(click here)</a>, use 2 links if keeping this recipe entirely vegan.<br />
2 cloves chopped garlic<br />
1 Cup large onion, Chopped<br />
1 Cup large celery stalks, chopped (approximately 2 stalks)<br />
1 large Bell Pepper, chopped (any color, green is more traditional but I used 1/2 orange/1/2 Yellow)<br />
2 cans 14.5 ounces organic, no salt added diced tomatoes with juice.<br />
1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/annies-organic-worcestershire-sauce?utm_source=google&utm_medium=pla_smart&utm_campaign=Shopping_Engagement_Smart_Members&utm_content=092325000063&utm_term=na&gclid=Cj0KCQiAt_PuBRDcARIsAMNlBdpCHy_RTwLg5vy-hIqX-D3yQ8gWNd4ewt90OcAfWdtu7HHeXvN2G5kaArnIEALw_wcB" target="_blank">(click here)</a><br />
1 teaspoon Crystal Hot Sauce or preferred brand (adjust for taste)<br />
<br />
<b>Seasonings</b><br />
1/4 tsp garlic powder<br />
1/2 TB onion flakes<br />
1 tsp Italian seasonings<br />
1/2 tsp thyme<br />
1/8 tsp salt<br />
1/8 tsp salt substitute (potassium-based)<br />
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (red pepper, adjust for taste preference)<br />
1/2 tsp smoked paprika<br />
1/2 tsp regular paprika<br />
1 tsp parsley<br />
<br />
<b>Rice:</b> 4 cups cooked (any rice you desire/white is traditional). Exchange half the water in your rice recipe for low sodium vegetable broth and add a teaspoon of vegan or regular butter. This will make your rice extra tasty. Please note that it will also add sodium.<br />
<br />
<b>For the Pescatarian</b>, add 1/2 pound uncooked, peeled deveined large shrimp, thawed if frozen. Add into the pot 10-20 minutes before serving. I check them every 10 minutes so they don't shrink too much. Make sure they are cooked before serving.<br />
<br />
<b>Using a dutch oven (if you have a low crockpot setting for your oven) or crockpot.</b> Slice sausage into thick quarter size chunks and brown in avocado/olive oil. You can do this right in the dutch oven if you have one, otherwise, use a frying pan. Transfer sausage to crockpot if necessary, Turn off heat (if using a dutch oven) and add garlic, celery, bell pepper, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and tomatoes.<br />
<br />
<b>Add all seasonings</b> to the pot and stir. Later you may add more hot sauce if you like it spicy or omit it altogether, along with the cayenne if you are sensitive.<br />
<br />
<b>Cook on LOW crockpot setting for 4-5 hours.</b> If you are adding shrimp (non-vegan version), add them before serving (see above).<br />
<br />
<b>Cook your rice</b> following the directions on the box and see the rice note above for preparing. You will need 4 cups, cooked.<br />
<br />
<b>Add the rice</b> to your dutch oven or slow cooker OR place some rice at the bottom of the bowl and spoon the Jambalaya over the rice.<br />
<br />
<b>Enjoy!</b><br />

<i>Hello fiber artists! </i>I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. Today I have a stash busting Christmas ornament with versions for loom knitters and Crocheters. The crochet version was a quickie copy of the original loom knit version and it's a little bigger. If you're looking for a quick project, special holiday tag or homemade ornament then I'm sure you'll love making these adorable Santas.<br />

<i>Feel free</i> to mix and match your yarn and try different colors. The sizing should stay relatively the same if you use the same types of yarn (example, faux fur for the beard, fluffy yarn for the trim of the hat, etc.) Once you get the idea behind how you make the triangles, you should easily be able to add/subtract rows as needed.</div>

<b>Pattern notes (loom & crochet version)</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Loom used: 3/8” peg spacing loom, loom knit version.</li>
<li>Hook used: I-5.5mm, crochet version.</li>
<li>This is a stash buster ornament so varying yarn weights were used. The white yarn is 5/6 weight and the Red and tan were 4 weight (worsted/tan to heavy worsted/red)</li>
<li>Size will vary depending on the yarn used. Sample ornament is 4” w x 3” high. You may have to play with row counts if using different yarn weights for both versions.</li>
<li>The crochet version is larger than the knit version.</li>

finished measurements 4” x 4”. See the above pattern notes. I didn’t need to do much decreasing as I just omitted some of the chains at the beginning of the round and the ornament just naturally pulled inward to form the triangle. The ornament will bend inward slightly but lays flat as soon as you block it (it's very slight unless you crochet tightly) Feel free to play with it and add decreases if you would like to make the chains at the beginning of the round.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello all! I hope you are enjoying this Fall season as much as I am. I've taken a bit of a departure this month from loom knitting (don't worry, loom knitting is still my first fiber love). I've been honing my crochet skills and presently am going crazy making Christmas ornaments and baby gifts. Below I've shared my favorite crochet star pattern. I encourage everyone to try it (even if you are not a crocheter). They are fun and easy and also make thoughtful little gifts!</span></div>

Find it <a href="https://www.knitpicks.com/garnet-heather/p/25965" target="_blank">here</a>. 100% Cotton also works well for this pattern. Use worsted weight.

<b>Puff Stitch:</b> *Yarn over hook, insert hook into center ring and pull up a new loop, rep from * 3 times. Yarn over again and pull the yarn through all stitches on the hook (7 sts should be on your hook). Slip stitch 1 time. Note: <b>Puff st</b> is easiest if you do not make them too tight. Here's a good <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O8QtxZFYGo" target="_blank"><b>video</b></a>. You can make your puff st different sizes but please follow the repeat number given above.</div>

<b>Begin here...</b><br />
<b>Chain 8</b>, then join into the 1st chain forming a ring. Chain more if you want a larger center circle.</div>
<div>
<b>Round 1:</b> Puff stitch 5 times into the center ring.</div>
<div>
<b>Round 2:</b> Dc 3 times, chain 1, dc 3 times into the top of each puff stitch (into the last slip stitch). Place a slip stitch into the space between each puff stitch as you work around to anchor.</div>
<div>
<b>Round 3:</b> Dc 3 times, chain 3, dc 3 times into the top of each dc group made in the last round; repeat 5 times placing a slip stitch into the space between each group to anchor.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Making a change to a Plant-Based Lifestyle...</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Recently, for health reasons</i>, I decided to change my diet to one that is plant-based. Like over 60 percent of Americans, I have suffered from a host of upper and lower GI issues and really wanted an answer to the problem. My husband and I watched a documentary called <i>"What The Health"</i> and were intrigued by the information given. The next day we went all-in with a trip to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>So what did we do...</i>We've eliminated all dairy products, eggs and most meat also. We have been eating small amounts of fish about 2 times a week and will probably re-introduce eggs into our diet when we can get them from a friend or farm that raises chickens locally (otherwise we probably won't eat them). We started eating at home, only going out three times during the last 6 weeks (once to a vegan cafe and the 2nd time to Chili's with the family, ordered the shrimp fajitas with none of cheese/sour cream etc., the 3rd trip to Bonefish Grill where they are extremely accommodating to diet needs).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>So what were the results?</i> 6 weeks later, almost all of our GI issues are gone and we feel great. As a side note, my husband, who has always had high blood pressure is off of meds completely, woohoo. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I won't lie to you,</i> I spend A LOT more time in the kitchen then I used to but don't mind at all as I'm now putting our health at the top of my priority list. I even bake now (a lot) so we have plenty of vegan cookies in the freezer, which by the way, I like better than regular cookies. I'm learning to bake bread in a Dutch Oven too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Benefits...</i>No GI issues, low blood pressure, normal cholesterol, and weight loss. The food is great and we have minimal cravings (bonus). I know what is in 85% of my food as it's mostly, whole and non-processed. This is a good feeling, particularly when you spend a day Googling food ingredients like Gelatin, Rennet, etc. It's also crazy that we know more about what is in dog food than human food. An example, most dog food commercials advertise by-products as a bad thing...in walks Gelatin for humans. It's made by boiling by-products. Why is it not ok for a dog but great for humans, LOL? Just a question.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>No preaching here.</i> I'm a big believer in doing what works for you as an individual. I just wanted to share this experience for those who might also be suffering from dietary health issues and let you know that there is an answer. Let's face it, we need to be healthy to keep on loom knitting and other crafting!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you enjoy this recipe, it's so delish that you won't even miss the dairy!</span><br />

<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Fall is here and so are warm winter loom knits. Hats make easy & quick gift ideas for the holiday season. I designed this hat with a modern look using lots of texture and a colorblock color scheme. Many loom knitters comment on how neat my edges look. This hat will show you one of my little secrets, working a hat from the top down. The bind off is always neater than the cast on (particularly on those large gauge looms). Just be careful not to pull those stitches too tight or your hat will lose stretch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Please enjoy this free pattern and let me know what you think of it by commenting below. Don't forget to <i><span style="color: #e06666;">Pin it</span></i> for later. I love a warm and cozy hat, especially one as cute as this!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello readers! Fall is my favorite time of the year for decorating. I usually decorate at the end of August and keep everything out until Black Friday. I don't tend to put too much Halloween out, just a couple of touches, here and there. I like to incorporate things that I love in my decorating to give my home a personal touch. You'll find a lot of yarn balls, knitting books, and gardening touches throughout my home at all times of the year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you enjoy this tour of my home!</span></div>

If you're like me, you are frantically looking for home-made holiday gift ideas. I designed this sweet little basket with gift-giving in mind. It's a quick loom knit and can be made in a couple of hours. I thought it would be perfect, filled with wrapped Christmas candies and a gift card for a special someone. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Don't forget to make one and keep it for yourself. It would be a great little catch-all basket for your keys and such. Happy looming!-<i>Nicole</i></span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;">NAUTICAL ROPE-KNOT COWL</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Description</b><br />
A series of decreases and bulky yarn create a rope-like lace fabric between two borders of garter stitch. This is a structural cowl with great texture.<br />

<br />
<b>Size:</b> 22”/55.9 cm around x 9”/22.9 cm high.<br />
<br />
<b>Yarn: </b>Wool of the Andes Bulky, 100% Peruvian Highland Wool, 137 yds/100 g, Bulky weight. 1 skein, Color #0528, silver and 1 skein, Color #8422, Beach Glass.<br />
<br />
<b>Supplies:</b> Knitting tool, crochet hook, measuring tape.<br />
<br />
<b>Loom:</b> 3/4” Peg spacing round loom, 40 pegs. (large gauge Knifty Knitter style). The 41 peg may be used but will produce a line of stockinette.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>PATTERN NOTES:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Bulky yarn is needed to achieve the rope-like look to this cowl. Please keep this in mind if changing yarn.</li>
<li>If using an odd peg loom such as the 41 peg, you will need to add an extra knit stitch at the end of some rnds. This will not be indicated within the pattern. Doing this may leave an undesirable line of stockinette. The 40 peg loom is recommended.</li>
<li>Cowl is worked in the round.</li>
</ul>

GAUGE: not necessary. Use measuring tape to achieve proper sizing.<br />

I'm happy to announce that my 2nd book, <u><span style="color: #38761d;">Amazing Loom Knits</span></u> by Nicole F. Cox is scheduled for release on August 1, 2019. It has 31 new, never published, loom knitting patterns. This book is a follow-up to <u><span style="color: #e06666;">Round Loom Knitting in 10 Easy Lessons</span></u>. Order the book here: </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Loom-Knits-colorwork-stitches/dp/0811737977/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Amazing+Loom+Knits&qid=1563321566&s=books&sr=1-1">https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Loom-Knits-colorwork-stitches/dp/0811737977/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Amazing+Loom+Knits&qid=1563321566&s=books&sr=1-1</a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My goal was to build upon the 1st book and hopefully show the loom knitter that almost anything can be accomplished on the loom. Although there are beginner patterns within this book, it's heavier on intermediate skills as I feel we have enough beginner books but very few intermediate to advanced pattern books. Don't worry, all of the projects are accessories so you don't have to feel intimidated by a large project.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to stress that this is a <b>pattern book</b>, not a "how to loom knit" book, even though the marketing may look that way. There are instructions for all of the skills but I recommend reading the first book before attempting the patterns in this book if you are new to loom knitting.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A lot of time, dedication and love went into the writing of this book but mistakes in the printing and editing can and will happen despite our best efforts. A pattern correction page will be at the same location as for the first book and you can find it here: <a href="https://www.thismomentisgood.com/content/pattern-corrections">https://www.thismomentisgood.com/content/pattern-corrections</a>. I appreciate you contacting me through this site if you find any errors in printing and we will add it to our page.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you share in my excitement (another loom knitting book!!!). Thank you so much for your support of my patterns, books, and this blog, now over 2 million visits! Our loom knitting community is growing and I appreciate your support more than you know. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've included project previews below for this book in this post. I hope you are as excited about these projects as I am. Have a great day!-<i><b>Nicole</b></i></span></div>

Hello, loom knitting & crafting community!</h2>
<b>Welcome to 2019...</b> I hope your holidays were good and you got plenty of time with family, friends and snuck in some relaxation time with your looms and other crafts. I took some well-needed time off and feel rested and ready to go for the 2019 loom knitting, winter season.<br />
<br />
I have an exciting new project workbook to review today, sent to me from Kristen Mangus of GoodKnit Kisses. It's titled <u><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Yarn-Project-Organizer-Workbook-crocheters/dp/0997632941/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1547228579&sr=1-2" target="_blank">Yarn Project Organizer & Workbook</a></u> by Kristen Mangus. Kristen is one of my favorite personalities in the fiber arts world. Her bubbly personality is infectious and she never fails to put a smile on my face. Her instructional videos have been a wonderful asset to the loom knitting community and other fiber artists.<br />

<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The book...</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Hello to organization...</b> I wasn't surprised when I received this book and immediately liked it. Who better to make a workbook for fiber artists than an experienced loom/knitter/crocheter. The book is exactly as it is titled, a notebook to keep track of all of your projects, tools, and lists. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I<b>ncluded in this book</b>... are sheets for projects, graphs, charitable donations, gift giving, sales logs, loom/needle/hook inventory. The project pages are the most useful for me as a designer. I love the box for attaching yarn labels. Frequently I am seen frantically looking through my couch cushions, studio and anywhere I can think of for these slippery little labels. Taping or stapling them to a project sheet will prevent this in the future, woohoo, life-changing! All of the sheets are perforated so you can tear them out and keep them with your individual projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Most fiber artists are givers by nature... </b>The charitable donations and gift giving logs are going to help us organize the type of projects that are so close to our hearts. I could definitely use more focus when it comes to these type of projects. It will be nice to look back on last years projects so that I can be sure not to repeat similar ones the following year and just be able to <i>take a breath</i> and look back on all that I've accomplished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Do you forget </b>what looms, hooks, needles you have? Are they packed away in a drawer or box somewhere? The inventory lists included in this book will help you keep track of all of your tools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>It's not just for loom knitters!</b> This project organizer is geared towards all fiber artists. The cheerful cover, photographed by Kristen, immediately draws you into the fiber world, inviting you to get organized in 2019.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>All in all,</b> I think this is a wonderful addition to the fiber arts community. I love new books and this one will help us be more productive in the new year!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We've finally gotten some of the headbands from the loom knit Earwarmer Collection I onto a model so that you can see what they look like when worn. Unfortunately, I accidentally forgot to photograph two of the headbands, oops. Thank you to our model, Danielle, for making my loom knit designs look so good. The gift giving season is coming up soon and these make wonderful homemade gifts.</span></div>

[How to do Fair Isle!](https://thismomentisgood.blogspot.com/2018/03/how-to-do-fair-isle-on-loom.html)<br />

You should be experienced with cables on the loom before attempting this headband. This pattern also requires the provisional cast-on and bind-off.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To kick off the fall season, we have a free hat pattern available exclusively on the Knitting Board blog! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Provisional cast-ons/bind-offs keep your stitches "live" so that you can work them together seamlessly later. They are useful for flat loom knitting or "in the round". This method does not require knitting needles which will make a lot of loom knitters happy. The final result will look like a kitchener cast-on. Use the provisional cast-on for joining ends to live stitches or picked up stitches on the side of your knitting. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">This cast-on works the same in the round or flat. If your piece is worked in the round, you will just flatten your knitting and half your stitches. You can use stitch markers to mark the halfway points on each side of the knitting where the waste yarn meets the elastic or project yarn. For demonstration purposes, this tutorial assumes that you know how to cast-on and do the knit stitch.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Why do you do a provisional cast-on?</i></b> This cast on is useful for joining pieces of your knitting seamlessly. This is useful in loom knitting since we do not always have enough stitches to do wide pieces such as a drapey cowl. If you don't have a large round loom you could loom knit your cowl flat (instead of in the round) and then join your pieces seamlessly. It's also great for starting socks, just cast-on using waste yarn/elastic cord and your stitches will remain "live" for seaming later. I also use this cast-on for ponchos and other garments.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Also included in this tutorial is how to join two pieces together without using knitting needles after doing this cast-on and notes on how to provisionally bind-off.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Follow the steps in this section for all provisional cast-ons, flat or in the round...This tutorial is not designed to teach you how to loom knit so the actual knitting process is not shown on the loom. You should already know how to e-wrap cast-on and do the regular (true) knit stitch before attempting this cast-on. </b></span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Referring to the photo above: e-wrap cast on with waste yarn. Waste yarn can be used over and over again and should be a contrasting color to your pattern yarn. This will make it easier to see which is which.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Knit at least 10 rows or rounds using waste yarn. Use the regular knit stitch (also called true knit). E-wrap knit stitch is not recommended for this cast-on. You may knit as many rows/rnds as you like with the waste yarn just make sure you give yourself enough fabric to work with.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Knit 1 row with elastic cord. If you do not have elastic cord then skip this step. Elastic cord is just easier to pull out because it is slippery but regular yarn can be encouraged out of the knitting also (it just takes a little longer).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Cut your waste yarn/elastic, leaving a 4 to 5 inch tail.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Work (loom knit) your pattern as stated. You won't seam until your pattern is completed. Above is just a sample.</span></li>
</ol>

<span style="font-size: large;">THIS IS THE END OF THE PROVISIONAL CAST-ON TUTORIAL. BELOW IS HOW TO JOIN TWO SECTIONS AFTER USING THIS CAST-ON. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Note:</b> You can also <b>bind off</b> using a <b>provisional bind-off</b>. Just do the steps in reverse. When you finish your pattern, do not bind off in the regular manner...1st loom knit 1 row with elastic cord, then loom knit 10 rows (at least) with waste yarn, then bind off or remove the fabric from the loom.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">The above picture is only an example as this tutorial is showing your two pieces, each with a provisional cast-on/bind off, being joined. You may be joining a side with a provisional cast-on to a side with a closed cast-on. Work them the same. If you have a closed cast on (on one side) then just pick up the edge stitches one by one.</span><br />

It usually means that the hectic knitting season has come to an end and I'm able to take more days off. I don't completely stop looming in the summer, I'm just able to slow things down and appreciate each stitch when I am knitting. It's so nice to have time to throw a blanket on the lawn and enjoy the weather while working. My husband and I also like to take long drives, enjoy the sun and stop at the local produce stands. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Today I picked up some beautiful grape tomatoes. The colors were so vibrant I couldn't resist them, lovely yellows, plums and reds. I'm adding the tomato picture to my color palette as I think their colors would make a beautiful vibrant scarf one day. If you read my color series then you know I get my color inspiration from nature and the pictures I take.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I have a couple of free patterns for you! This is a really cute and easy wear set. Best of all they are beginner friendly and an easy loom knit. I've loom knit them on the 3/8" peg spacing looms but both patterns would be easy to gauge for other looms. The touch of alpaca in this yarn gives a beautiful halo to these knits and I love the soft, muted colors which give this set a vintage feel. The look reminds me of my retro tube socks from the 80's. I loved those!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's a rainy week here in New Jersey. Last night we experienced high winds and torrential downpours. Our patio umbrella was picked up and flung across the yard but luckily nothing else was damaged. Despite the weather, my husband and I were able to get out for a long walk around the neighborhood. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The walk got me thinking about blueberries and baking as our street neighbors a very large farm. We are lucky to have farm fresh blueberries five minutes away all summer. Within seconds of mentioning blueberry muffins to my husband, he was out the door and came back with 2 pints of fresh blueberries. He even sat down and wrote a little about our blueberry fields below!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello readers, I'm Ray, Nicole's other half! Living here in historic Mays Landing NJ we are a stone's throw away from the Atlantic Blueberry Company farm. This is the largest highbush blueberry farm in the world, stretching over 1320 acres. The blueberries are grown, harvested and packaged on site. Lucky for us, they sell the berries roadside by the pint. You can not get them any fresher!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Two brothers started the company in 1938 planting just 5 acres and made only $3.02 on their first sale. By 1946 they purchased more land and began to take on partnerships. In 1979, they purchased the farmlands on US 322 to add an additional 600 acres to their operation. To this day it is still owned and operated by the same five original owners descendants. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, back to the muffins. We found a wonderful recipe for blueberry muffins on Zagleft (link below) with the crumb topping, gathered our ingredients and got to mixing and baking.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I just threw all of the dry ingredients in one bowl and all of the wet ingredients in another (this was not in keeping with the recipe, I'm the worst at actually following directions lol). My husband busied himself making the crumb topping mixture.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There were small lumps in my batter (probably because I didn't dissolve the sugar in the wet mixture, oops). I also didn't have milk in the house so we had to improvise with some no fat powdered milk that I keep in the house for casserole recipes (at this point I'm getting worried, do we need FAT in the milk for these to rise??). No worries, as you'll see later, it didn't make a bit of difference.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What is a <i>frittata</i>? It's an Italian dish made with fried, beaten eggs. AND it's delicious.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I make this dish all the time in the summer and usually pair it with a salad or fruit dish. Today I was in a hurry and just put some simple mandarin oranges with it. It's wonderful for any meal of the day and makes excellent leftovers as it heats up easily in the microwave. It's also a beautiful dish to look at making it perfect for a fancy brunch (you don't have to tell your guests how easy it was to make). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>How do you make it?</i> See below...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's officially summer and I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. Mine was spent with family on the beaches of Brigantine, NJ. It was a fun day of swimming in the ocean, good food and corn hole. Unfortunately, I lost every game but luckily I'm a good sport! It was a perfect day except for the green head flies which were apparently in a relentless feeding frenzy. Sometimes it can be hard to share the outdoors with the local wildlife. I took the above shell picture at the Brigantine, South End Cove late in the day just before the sun set.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So recently there's been some time off and my studio has been quiet but I did find some time to finish the <b>Kilobyte Cowl Pattern</b>. I'm really excited about this cowl. I love the "digital" look to its' color patterning and the color combinations. It's a <b><i>loom friendly cowl and will work on any loom using even peg numbers.</i></b> If changing the loom, just remember to use the proper yarn weight. I really like this cowl on a smaller gauge loom as you get more color patterning, which really shows off the effect.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I first shared this cowl on social media, it really got a lot of attention. Lots of people commented on it and loved its' design and colorway. For that reason, I decided to make it available to everyone and place this one on the blog as a free pattern. The free pattern is below and I hope you enjoy it. <b>Happy 4th</b> of July week!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pattern Notes</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The cowl is worked in the round from top down. It has a hemmed top border (you can easily add ribbing if you prefer) and ribbed bottom border.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: large; white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">The cowl is gauged using the regular knit stitch (this is the only stitch I use for colorwork such as Fair Isle as it gives the crispest look to your stitches). If using the u-knit you may have to add more rows/stitches</span><span style="font-size: large;">. The e-wrap knit is not recommended for this pattern.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the start of summer. I sure am as I spent the day loom knitting a baby blanket outside in the sunshine yesterday before the heat wave begins. This is my favorite season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm happy to announce that we have a new cowl pattern available for the loom knitting community. It's being hosted exclusively by the Knitting Board on their blog. This cowl is drapey and super feminine and best of all, easy to loom knit! Please check it out and take some time to look around KB's site as they have so many quality looms and patterns for our community.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Stockinette Stitch On the Loom</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="text-align: left;">Video Link: </span><a href="https://thismomentisgood.blogspot.com/p/loom-knitting-stitch-library.html" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">VIDEO</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There are 3 loom knit stitches that produce stockinette. Each stitch is listed below.</span></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i style="font-size: x-large;">The most useful stitch of all is the regular knit stitch which produces stockinette. It has a tailored look, works great for all colorwork and lace stitches. Since it is a single stitch, it does curl and will require edge stitches to make it lie flat.</i></h3>
<div>
<i style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></i></div>
<div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Regular Knit Stitch</span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This stitch looks the most like the needle knit version. It has the loosest tension of the knit stitches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The U-knit Stitch</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This stitch also looks like the needle knit stitch but has a slightly tighter tension. It is a medium tension stitch when done properly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The flat Knit Stitch</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Also produces the stockinette look or V but has a tight tension. Great for socks. This stitch can tighten up quickly so it's best used by confident beginners and above with an elastic yarn.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Probably the most popular stitch in loom knitting as it's easy to wrap on the pegs and produces a loose meshy stitch that grows quickly. This stitch curls so it does require border stitches to lie flat. It is a beginner stitch and if you are a loom knitter, it was probably the first stitch you learned.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>As you can see in the above pictures, the knit stitches and the e-wrap knit produce very different looking fabric. Stockinette is tailored and organized and the twisted stockinette is a much less organized stitch. The V drops on one side making it look much less tailored.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is a combination of the Knit Stitch (any stockinette) and the Twisted Stockinette Stitch.

<span style="font-size: large;">Twist/Cable Tips </span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">• On the row before the twist is called for, knit the pegs that you will be twisting extra loose to allow for easier moving.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">• Lighter colored yarns provide better stitch definition, allowing your twists to stand out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">• Twists (and cables) cause your knitting to narrow horizontally, so you need to add extra pegs to allow for this shrinkage. For example, you may want to use a size larger hat loom if you plan to add several cables to your knitting. This is accounted for in written patterns.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">• When knitting cables, you do not have to cross your stitches on every row. You will knit several plain rows in between the turning rows; just be sure to keep the number of rows the same.</span><br />
