Anyone have a circle knitting loom?

[OceanAnnie]

I don't know what possessed me. The thing(s) looked neat and colorful. So I bought them. It's a set of circle knitting looms. Ofcourse there are no patterns to go with them or instructions. I've done a quick search online. Haven't found anything great, yet.

If you have one of these things, what do you make with them? And do you have any resources to share (websites & or books)? I'm thinking about making some things (not complicated) to donate for the Christmas shop to benefit our school.

TIA!

I have one! It was a Christmas gift a few years ago. Try Googling "Knifty Knitter", and you should find instructions. I lost my instructions as soon as I got it, so I had to find the instructions online. Also, as far as patterns go, look at Lion Brand's website (lionbrand.com). They have quite a few loom knit patterns. I've made hats and scarves with mine, and I've even heard of people making socks with the smallest size!!!

Thank you so much! I'm on it!

We had students last year using them to make caps for cancer patients. They got community service hours for each cap they turned in. You can make scarfs, hats, purses, tube socks, baby buntings and more.

Also try Googling just knitting loom without the circle part, or knitting board. I have a long, straight scarf board. Haven't worked with it yet, but I swear I saw some websites, blogs & forums dedicated to knitting boards. Some are designed in such a way, with pegs on both sides of the board and a slot in the middle, that people can make smaller, round stuff, like on a round loom, just by wrapping a smaller amount on the middle pegs. And there are some intricate patterns.

Also try YouTube. I know I saw some demos.

Thanks you guys! I hadn't thought about a forum! I'm looking for something super easy. Just a beginner looking for success.
