![]() ![]() ![]() Pull gently to free the WY, which will now be between the peg and the front of the work. *Note: another easy way to work a SWYF is to begin to work a purl stitch, but instead of lifting the original loop off the peg and placing the new loop on the peg as you do when purling, simply KO the new loop, leaving the original one in place. To do this, simply remove the loop already on the peg, slip the WY in front of the work and behind the peg, then replace the held loop back onto the peg. ![]() (SWYF) x5 directly translates to: Slip With Working Yarn in Front 5 times. This simply means that the next 5 pegs will not be worked, but will have the working yarn (WY) carried to the front of the work. S1, s1: slip one stitch (don’t work the stitch, simply skip this peg, and carry the working yarn behind peg to the back of the work.) The WY will be coming from underneath the twist rather than on top.) HH: half hitch (create a loop with WY by twisting in opposite way than when making an EW and place on peg. KO: knit off (lift bottom loop(s) over top loop and completely over the top of the peg) When the pattern uses the term “knit” or “k”, please use the true knit stitch or the u-stitch, not the e-wrap, unless otherwise stated. So, without further preamble, here are the instructions to make the repeating stitch pattern, the 8″ x 8″ square (for those of you following along during Stitchology □ ), and a couple videos thrown in for good measure! Happy Spooky Looming!ĭangling Spider Stitch for Knitting Looms □ I do highly recommend trying the Kitterly pattern for those needle knitters out there who need a little spider therapy of their own. *Please note that I did not look at the pattern at all, just figured out my own method of making these types of spiders after having looked at the picture for inspiration. Anyway…the very next day I spotted this from Kitterly and my mind went zinging with the possibilities! It wasn’t my dream bobble idea (which I still want to do!), but it was so so cute, and still involved bobbles, so of course I had to figure out a similar loomy version. It’s a pretty good idea, too! Sometimes my crazy brain does things like that in my sleep, lol. Well, I haven’t stopped my therapy, haha! I had been planning on doing a post all about making bobbles for Stitchology at the KB Blog and I ended up having a dream one night about how to make those bobbles into spiders. Part of that process has been exploring how to make them seem cute by having their yarnie counterparts dangling around near Halloween, or by learning all I can about identifying them (there’s power in knowledge, right? lol). I’ve learned how to deal with their inevitable autumn re-occurrence. Welllllll, not quite, as I’m sure we took some hitchhikers along with us and we still to this day find some of these guys roaming the garage, or occasionally, the house. My own relief came when we actually moved from that house, lol. It all started when we lived in a house that was a veritable highway bypass for aggressive house spiders, a breed of spiders that make you want to don the strongest of armor and go into battle, scouring every inch for those suckers before you feel any sort of relief. Some of you out there may remember that I have had a recurring battle fascination with spiders. ![]()
