Has anyone ever done loom knitting? Is it easy to do. I've been watching videos on utube and it looks alright so I've ordered myself a loom board.

Carrie our girls had one when they were children the same loom then got passed on to our grandkids who all enjoyed making scarves with it, think thats all they ever made though.Location....East Midlands. -
I had not heard of it before looks like a take on french knitting. As to it being easy I think it would depend on how much of a crafty person you are and patient
What was your thinking behind taking it up? something different to do or making specific type items etc. I only ask as I love doing constructed textiles, a lot of techniques are on my 'I will learn one day list' just thought there might be other things you might consider

I can't remember how I come across it. Think it was a Utube video that I saw when I was looking at knitting. And I thought to myself I'd like to have a go at that and see what it is like to normal knitting.Originally posted by Norfolkgrey View PostCarrieComment

Just had a look.
Seems there are quite a few interesting garments etc you can make depending on which one you use.

I am going to try and make a scarf for my first try at it and see how it turns out before I get into anything big like a blanket.
I've seen a few ideas online how to make it. But there is one I've seen and I like so I am going to try and stick with that patten.
Soon as I have finished it I will show you

I've never had a go at loom knitting. but I've seen one being worked. It did look very simple to do ( I'm not good with technical). The stuff it produced was really chunky and looked stunning. I don't know if it was the type of wool or if it just makes chunky stuff. Either way I was very tempted to get one.Comment

You can get different quality wool,my nan used to crochet blankets & there was a specific wool she'd buy. Do you watch the big bang theory? Sheldon uses a loom in this episode
