Tip: Alternate to 2-yarn Strand Loom Knitting

On one of the email lists that I belong to, a member recently posted the following tip, which I thought was worthwhile of reposting on here. The original poster asked what the best way to loom-knit when the pattern suggested that two-strands of yarn be used.

You can also use one strand of yarn, wrap your loom three times, and lift one loop over 2. Wrap once again, lift one loop over 2. Continue. This gives a nice tighter stitch, as opposed to having to use two strands. I prefer this method, as opposed to using two strands.

I just completed a hat that used 2-strands, and would have found this method to be a little simpler.
