Very little is known today about knitting looms, however, in recent years there has been a renewed interest in the crafting market. Many lives have been touched by knitting looms--those whom couldn't grasp knitting with needles have turn to knitting with looms to show their creativity. Those whom are unable to craft with needles due to health issues have turn to knitting looms to allow their creativity to keep on flowing.
Knitting looms are not only for making hats! You can create almost anything on them...now you can knit lace, cables, sweaters, and even socks! If you knit with looms and are getting a bit tired of hats, browse around through this lens and see if there is anything that may help you out a bit.
Knitting Without Needles is possible--and it is in! C'mon, grab a loom and take it for a spin.
New to knitting looms and feel the urge to knit something. Go to your nearest craft store and pick up a set of knitting looms. For about $15.00 you can pick up a set of 4 plastic round knitting looms and be ready for your journey. Once you are there, pick up a few skeins of yarn that call your name. Once you get home, come back and browse through these instructions to get you started.
