Knitting looms

[jeanhai]

Now that the fad is over, is anyone still using their knitting looms?

Not as much as when I first started but I do like the flower loom for making baby booties. I prefer to crochet hats. Though I would like to make a couple of kitties again.

No. I never got the hang of them and it hurts my old hands.

The looms are not a new thing. They have been around for many years. I guess the fad picks up now and then and then it wanes for awhile. I have looms from a long time ago. I have told my youngest granddaughter that if she ever wants to try them, she can use mine – she won’t have to purchase any. She hasn’t wanted to try it. I never did have the patience to get the hang of them. But, I know some people have loved them and made a lot of nice things with them.

I just made a baby hat yesterday ! I use the smallest one for socks for my dolls very often. It’s easier and faster than knitting.

I have all of them, I think. Bought them at thrift stores. Haven’t touched one. . But I will at some point. It looks fun. I’ve just been busy raising kids and working.

I’ve never tried a knitting loom – sounds interesting! About a year ago I got into knitting. Taught myself how to by watching some YouTube videos. Right now I’m working on this scarf for a Christmas present for my sister!

I have the hand crank one for baby hats, I might pull it out soon on a rainy day (if we get one) and let my little guy have some fun.

I have the size that makes a kids hat, kinda big for a newborn, or socks but too small for an adult hat. I wanted to make some cocoons or mermaid tails but haven’t. I went crazy buying yarn, just one at a time until a basket was full.

I like the idea of making some stuffs those kitties are cute.

I’m still using my looms. Mostly for hats.

Hmmmmm maybe now that you posted this I will need to get mine out!

@Jacelyn5440 I think @jeanhai was talking about our own BB Forum Fad. Started here.

I got a Knitting loom set

Woman of my word lol @Renauta427 and @Nikkiroc I said I would start my own little post if I got one I went against your advise and got a Boye . The reasons being it was 4 looms instead of one and the cheaper of the ones I saw and if this turns out like my knitting needles I wont care so much if they sit for long periods of time . Now the one I really think is neat is the one that is elevated and turns however it cost more than I am willing to pay just to try something out . This is …

and here

Back to the loom

Last thread about the looms you all have got too long to read all but so many cute items !! .However im confused which loom to buy if i want to make the kitty and booties maybe a hat since my shoulder is giving me fits crocheting beanies Which would be the bestor most versatile? Can i use baby yarn? I have a huge ball of it

[Jacelyn5440]

Oh. Thanks, @AnnieSokay, for straightening me out. I lose touch with everything on here at times.

[Vanniek]

They are so cute too! Wish I could get a hang of them like you do.

I use my round ones occasionally to make hats or cocoons for babies, but I switched to crocheting after I made a blanket on one of the big looms. I love not having to panic if a stitch goes wrong, and that blanket loom was really awkward to use!
