I love the way you explain how to wrap the pegs. Wrapping to the right side of the peg when going right and to the left side of the peg when going left seems so natural once you are familiar with this stitch but for those learning the stitch this is a HUGELY valuable tip! Awesome job!!

Very well explained, thank you. I appreciate that you do not turn your loom, only your stitch goes back and then forth, thank you. It would also be awesome if you finish (or start) your tutorial with a picture of several rows made so we (beginners) have an idea of how the stitch looks. This in particular looks so beautiful. Thank you so much! 😍

I'm using a 1/2 inch gauge and a regular yarn but it comes out loose. should I use two skeins at the same time instead?
