i only crochet... but since i have two Stitch-n-Bitch groups, imma gonna confess i can tell of something is crocheted vs a knit stitch. i word it that way is that i can make something that looks like it was knitted with my crochet hook. XD

Lol. Of course you can tell though, trystan, because you crochet!
XD
I can generally tell knitted work from crocheted work, but can't really tell loom knit from needle knit. Except when it comes to double-knit stuff because you can't really do those with needles.
Also, fun fact: I actually have patterns for granny squares (typically something specific to crochet) for my looms. I haven't been brave enough to try them yet though.

Granny squares are small though, aren't they? I mean there's no harm in trying, just set an hour aside and see how it works. You can do it!

Haha...thanks, MonBon!

Death: I think they can be made small or large, but I'll have to double check the pattern to figure out the exact size.
If I run out of yarn on my mermaid blanket before my next yarn order arrives, maybe I'll try making one.
Which reminds me, I should order the yarn tonight...

double knitting can be done on needles... i've seen lots of it on ravelry.

also re: granny squares: the blanket i posted back in post #792 is made up of small, two-row granny squares. i've also made a few "overgrown" granny square blankets - 40 rows!

and i had no idea granny squares could be made on a loom, kaderin!

i've actually been thinking of getting this loom, just to make many sizes of things including shawls!

Huh. I've never seen anything double knit usng needles. Regardless, it's probably way less complex on a loom. XD

That's a decent loom, but is a larger gauge 3/4" if I recall, so better suited for bulky or super bulky yarns. If you want one that's better suited for thinner yarns, I recommend the Authentic Knitting Board Super Afghan Loom. It's the same style of infinity or "s" loom, but is a smaller gauge (1/2"). Just throwing that bit of knowledge in...

i might use bulky yarns for a blanket.

but, i've made a few shawls with thin yarn and large crochet hooks, which makes for a drapier, floppier fabric. but the gauge on that loom is good to know, thanks!

re double knitting - we are talking about something like this, right? my guess is it takes a bit of coordination and you'd have to pay a LOT fo attention if you're doing it with needles.

Um....I can't tell, but maybe?
With loom knitting, a double knit fabric generally has less to do with making a fancy design and is basically just making a doubly thick, plush product without the need to sew layers together.
