I’ve never been able to knit, something about using two needles and both hands at the same time that I could just never pick up the skill. I’m a clumsy human in general, so I feel like the coordination part of my brain is just a twisted pile of wires in there 😆 Anyway, using a knitting loom helps clumsy people like me create knitted projects. After years of YouTube recommending loom knitting videos to me, I figured it was time to actually give it a try.
I have two sets of round knitting looms. One set has the pegs spaced further apart than the other, so the results are a bit different.
Circular Loom Set with Hook Needles 20 Skeins Yarn Knitting Supplies for Beginners
Includes 20 x yarn Skeins in different colors, 4 x Round Knitting Loom (4 different sizes), 1x Crochet Hook, 2 x Yarn Needle, and detailed instructions included in the package.
My first attempt didn’t go so great…I wound up with a little blue blob of yarn that just didn’t look right. I wasn’t a huge fan of the yarn that was included in the kit, found it itchy and had issues with fraying, but it was okay enough to get some practice with.
After a little more practice and watching a few YouTube videos, I started to get the hang of things…
Then came the second set of looms with the pegs closer together…
Set of 4 Plastic Round Looms Knitting with 2 Knitting Yarn Loom Needle and 2 Plastic Loom Pick
Set includes 4 sizes looms ( 5inch loom; 7.1 inch loom; 9 inch loom; 11 inch loom), two Yarn Needle, two Loom Pick, one Basic instructions.
I’ve got a nice little basket of yarn to experiment with, and I’ve got a playlist from LoomaHat queued up on YouTube, so I’m going to try a few more hats and maybe a scarf, and I’ll report back to you.
