YarnCraft Episode 19 :: Working with Looms and More
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
Summer’s the perfect time to try new things, so the YarnCraft girls explore the world of loom-knitting, spool-knitting, and other yarncrafts. Discover which other forms of yarncrafting can be good newbies, teaching kids, and even those with joint pain, and why even expert knitters and crocheters should check out these tools.
We also interview Pat Novak of KnittingBoard.com, who recently wrote a guest post for the Lion Brand Notebook, blog.lionbrand.com all about the Knitting Board.
Patterns discussed include:
- Knifty Knitter Simple Slouchy Leggings
- Loom-Knit Uptown Tote Bag
- Knifty Knitter Fair Isle Cap
- Knifty Knitter Cowl with Pompoms
- Spool-knit hot pads
You can also find directions on spool-knitting and making your own spool-knitter on our site. It’s a great craft to do with your kids. Check out our shop for our French knitter and our looms.
