Synopsis
From the Book jacket: If you have struggled to knit with needles, loom knitting is an easy craft to master-children and adults alike can learn in a few hours. Loom knitting is a revolutionary way of knitting that uses a circular or rectangular loom, or knitting board, consisting of a frame with pegs. Looms are easy and fun to use, even without conventional knitting experience. You can create almost anything, from knitted tubes for hats or socks to flat panels for scarves, shawls, and sweaters. This book is designed as an essential reference and a hands-on project resource for the loom knitter. Throughout the book you will find loom-knitting techniques for both round and rectangular looms, together with practice projects. An inspiring design section presents more than 30 patterns to get you started in your new loom-knitting adventure. Also included is a guide to the similarities between loom knitting and needle knitting, and a glossary of techniques. Everything you need to master loom knitting quickly and easily, from technical know-how to instantly appealing designs. An essential loom-knitting manual to supplement the often scant instructions supplied with the looms. More than 30 nifty, no-needle, quick-and-easy patterns for sweaters and accessories, including projects to felt. About the Author: Isela Phelps is a graduate of Utah State University where she received a degree in business administration. She is part of the Decor Accents, Inc. team, a manufacturer of knitting looms. Isela also teaches knitting loom classes at Yarn Today, a Utah yarn store, and owns and moderates two knitting loom online community groups.
