Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | Knitting looms are flying off the shelves in craft stores because loom- knitting is such an easy craft to take up—it can be learned by both children and adults alike in just a few hours. If you have fond memories of spool knitting (a round wooden spool with a central hole surrounded by four small nails) when you were a child then you know how easy it was to create yards and yards of knitted tubes. Today‘s loom are just as easy and fun to use!
Widely available in craft stores, looms come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some are circular, others rectangular, some tiny and some large. The size of the loom dictates the size of the knitted piece although you can easily join smaller panels together to make larger items.
This book is designed as a hands on project resource as well as an essential reference for the growing band of loom knitters. Clear step by step illustrations throughout show how to cast-on, bind-off and knit a wide range of stitches on both round looms and knitting boards. Practice projects are provided for each technique, and there are more then 30 attractive patterns to get the crafter started.
- the first book to provide patterns for an increasingly popular tool
- comprehensive techniques and information provide the essential back-up manual to supplement the minimal instructions that come with the looms
- over 30 quick and easy patterns for sweaters and accessories
- written by an expert in the field

 Loom Knitting Primer: A Beginner's Guide to Knitting on a Loom, with over 30 Fun Projects Feb 25, 2010
This book is an excellent resource for beginners or for the more experienced loom knitter. Isela is definately a pro at loom knitting. I purchased several books over the last month and found this book to be the most detailed of all of them. Isela has numerous video clips on the Internet showing her techniques which has made my learning experience to loom knitting successful. Including a DVD with Loom Knitting Primer: A Beginner's Guide to Knitting on a Loom, with over 30 Fun Projects or any other books on loom knitting would prove to be a great benefit to the customers who purchase this genre.

 Disappointed Feb 07, 2010
The projects are so dated, and the instructions are no better than the instructions that come with the loom's package.
Knifty knitter primer Dec 16, 2009
This is a really terriffic book. I had bought the Knifty Knitter and was lost and frustrated while trying to create my own patterns. The book explains all, clearly and with excellent illustrations.

Finally, An Overview Dec 08, 2009
I started using the round knitter in the 1990's but when I recently went back to this craft, I found the patterns and possibilities with new stitches and patterns were beyond my simple one-stitch beginner's understanding. I bought several books at the craft store but found them to be inadequate in giving instructions. Then I got smart and bought this book by Isela Phelps. Finally, a substantive overview with so much clear information as well as tricks of the trade that has brought my work to new levels and made this such a fun and creative craft. It covers both round and straight loom work and handy information about yarns as well as basic equipment and so many other aspects of this craft. It has helped me to realize that I also would like to work on finer gauge looms for those lovely fine knits that we all know and love. As a crocheter and knitter for almost 60 years, I am excited to add this craft to my yarn creations took kit. Isela Phelps sets the standard for instruction in this craft,
