Comparing fabrics made on the F0 and F1 Kiss Looms -

Frogging – Ripping out stitches - Sometimes mistakes happen and you need to remove some rows from your project.  You can "tink" back or unknit a few rows to correct your mistakes. 

The Fabric Doesn't Flow Down - Yarn sometimes gets caught on pins and if you know why you can avoid it.  This videos shows you some common reasons this happens.

Stitches

Knit Stitch/U-Wrap - forms the traditional v-shaped knit stitch.  Tighter stitch then the e-wrap, a little looser then the traditional knit stitch (aka - reverse purl).  Allows for the continuous knit stitch when used on the Kiss Looms - in other words - you can knit the entire row before knitting off.

Purl Stitch with Regular Loom Pick - forms the traditional horizontal purl bump on the front side of your knitting. 

Purl Stitch with Purling Hook - forms the traditional horizontal purl bump on the front side of your knitting. Uses the white handled tool with the crochet hook like tip.

Double Knit Stockinette Stitch - See the setup video below in techniques for how to set up your loom.  The stockinette stitch will give you a knit fabric on both the front and back in double knitting.

Double Knit Figure 8 Stitch - See the setup video below in techniques for how to set up your loom.  This stitch resembles ribbing when knit and is a stretchy fabric.
