A demonstration at Joann’s detailing what the Knifty Knitters can do got me started on loom knitting. One of the items she had for demonstration was a gorgeous shawl she had made on the Knifty Knitters. She also had a number of other items including hats ,slippers ,and scarves.
Once I saw the projects that could be created on the looms, I knew I wanted the looms. I bought the round set, and got started. The best project to start with is a hat. That evening I made my first loom knitted project, a hat.
