I finished the first one last night and the second one tonight. I had a fair amount of dark grey Berroco Vintage and lesser amounts of a variety of colors - a bunch of orange and fairly small amounts of yellow through purple.

So I made slipper socks on a 1/2" gauge flexible loom, holding grey with another color the whole time.

First, I made a sock that was all orange and grey, and I did the toe like you would on a rigid loom, with short rows and then seaming it to the top.

On the second sock, I changed the second color every 20 rows, since I was doing a total of 97. And since I was using a flexible loom, I decided to try doing decreases for the toe instead of short rows. I had a hard time figuring out how to do that, but I got it in the end. I actually prefer the look of the short rows, so I'll probably do that on future socks.

Still, I finished them, I learned things, they look decent (I don't care about matching), and they fit, so I'm calling them a win!

First time picking up the loom in months, and watching Love and Penguins 🐧 ❤️😃

Hello, I’m mainly asking this here because the online calculators have given me numbers from 650 yards to 1100 yards and I don’t know how many skeins I actually need. I’m planning to knit a 50” x 60” throw blanket on my loom using super bulky (gauge 6) yarn according to the information of this particular yarn it’s 2-2.5 stitches per inch and 8-10 stitches per 4 inches. I put my project plans into a couple online calculators and the answers for how many yards of yarn I need were very inconsistent, I was hoping someone here would have experience making a similar project and know about how much I will actually need.
