Welcome to my blogiversary loom-a-long! I will be posting this a few rows at a time so keep checking back for more rows. Make sure you click on subscribe in the comments so you'll be emailed when I add more rows.
Gauge is not important for this stitch pattern, but the sample was done on the Kiss regular modular loom on first setting.
Yarn: I used a variegated cotton yarn for this. Peaches n Creme Shaded Brown. You can use variegated or solid for this in any color. Post a comment and let me know what color you're using. You might consider double stranded if working on the KK Looms.
I will have a drawing for finished projects emailed to me by Sunday midnight. Leave a comment here too in case my spam folder eats the email ;).

Bind Off (BO) using the super stretchy bind off (http://yarngear.com/looms/tips.htm - scroll down to the bottom). Note: if you are using the Kiss loom for this bind-off don't wrap the yarn behind the pins (it will make it really loose and you'll have to cinch it up a bit), just do the bind-off just like you would on a Knifty Knitter at the front of the pegs.
Email me pictures when you have it done to be entered in another drawing!
