New to knitting or having a difficult time knitting due
to arthritis? Learn how to knit without needles with a
loom. Loom knitting is an ancient art that has recently
seen a resurgence with the Knifty Knitter and Annie's
Attics looms. It has been known by many names
throughout history: frame knitting, rake knitting, ring
knitting, box knitting, bung knitting, spool knitting,
reel knitting, french knitting, loom knitting, knitting
in the round, knitting board. Perhaps even Penelope
knit the Shroud of Laertes on a knitting loom! So join
the crowd and pick up a loom — your stitches will come
out even on your very first try. Finally, a fast and
easy way to make chemo & preemie hats and warm
double-knit scarves for charity.
