Loom Crafts with Knifty Knitter

I have had the Loom Crafts with Knifty Knitter for a year now and use it more than I'd like to admit to. This book shows you how to use the loom with detailed instructions on how to create a slip knot, secure the knot to the peg, several knitting variations and then knitting off variations.

Just about every step comes with clear pictures to assist in completing the step. It really makes it easy, especially because I am a visual person and its hard to just read what to do.

There are twenty one step by step projects narrowed down Babies & Toddlers, Cuddle Up, Let's Play (children’s toys) and finally Family Crafts. My favorite project is the Mommy and Me Blanket. It comes with the option to use different color combinations and you can even make the blanket smaller to fit a small child. The best part is that you basically make several small squares and connect the squares to make a blanket.

The book has a handy spiral backing so that you can fold it to the page your working on without having to awkwardly hold the page open while it keeps trying to close on you.

Anyway, this is a great book and I would definitely recommend it to anyone new to loom knitting and even those familiar and wanting new patterns. I think I got mine at Wal-Mart for just a couple bucks. Have fun!
