I just bought one of these kits at Spotlight - you’ve inspired me! Any advice on some nice easy patterns to start with?

Hi Jeannine and Denise,
Thanks for dropping by and adding a comment.

I bought my looms online at http://www.thefoxcollection.com.au . They only had the set of 4 circle looms though - none of the other looms I’ve seen mentioned. They tend to change their stock frequently too so I can’t be sure how long they’ll keep the looms in their range.

Hi "Lightening",
This is Jeannine, one of your new American pals from the kniftyknitterlooms group on Yahoo.

I love your scarf and hat and I can't wait to see your next project, the yarn sounds yummy.

We have a number of members in the various groups from Australia and they have been saying they can't find the looms there. (there are a number of other KK loom styles as well, including a "Spool Knitter", I think you call it a "Tomboy"). Did you get yours On-Line or local? If you have found a source over there, I am sure the others would love to know about it.

Keep lurking and if possible, join some additional groups. One I would suggest is LoomClass as it is another Yahoo group. It has a little less chatting, so the instructors can avoid missing questions, etc. but you can learn some really great things.

Wait until you see all the things you can make and all the stitches and techniques you can learn. You will be so surprised.

I love your blog and I am adding it to my "favorites".

Hugs,
Jeannine

Hey that looks really cool! The scarf and hat look great - I’d never guess you could make the hat that way! Rhonda’s comment brought back a memory of doing that when I was a kid too.

Yes very similar to those tomboy’s! Only a bigger circle and some variety in the stitches. Plus this came with a nifty little tool that makes lifting the stitches over the pegs soooo much easier.

Sounds like it’s time to get that Tapestry out!

So this is loom knitting. It looks like a complicated version of what we used to call french knitting, but we made ours with nails and a cotton reel. I’m amazed at the things you can make and it’s so fast. The hat and scarf are lovely.

I think it will make a great hobby for you, Jodi. Please keep posting photos of what you make because I’d like to see how you go with it.
