Internal Gather Drawstring Method (IGDM)

Have you ever been making a project and wished for a way to do a gathered area within the center of a project? Often this is seen in toys and is done with wrapping yarn around the area and tying it tight. Another way to do it is Internal Gather Drawstring Method (IGDM).

The Expandable 2way Sides

What are “The Expandable 2way Sides”? They are optional pieces, that when used with other Kiss Loom pieces form another Kiss Loom option; they are not a separate loom unto themselves. The Expandable 2way Sides are expanded using modular parts you already own or purchase separately in the same style, ie: regular, compact, small gauge compact. You may be wondering what you do with them then. You use the optional longer ends, again in the same style, that are made for the slim line; thus The Expandable 2way Sides allow us to have our modular pieces and our large slim ends work together as another loom. To learn more about this wonderful new addition to Kiss Looms please check out this PDF: “The Expandable 2way Sides”

Purling

Can I purl with a regular knit tool? Yes you can and you don't have to touch the stitch with your fingers as with some other methods. Purl with a regular pick.
