First Adventures in Loom Knitting

Book excerpt: In 'First Adventures in Loom Knitting', simonthescribe presents you with twenty-four really-simple, easy, original and creative loom knitting projects that anyone can make. He shows how the main advantage with loom knitting is its speed in making simple clothes and fun objects with just two basic weaves. Other loom knitting books can take a step-by-step approach, using over-complex stitches and patterns more suited to knitting needles, that ignore the speed of looming with basic weaves. First Adventures in Loom Knitting has descriptions woven-in as to how each knitted object came about and over 80 photos and illustrations showing the projects. Full instructions on loom types, weaves, row numbers and assembly are given. Not only is it great fun making clothes and woven items for yourself, loom knitting is a craft made for sharing. The unique and easy projects in this book make fabulous gifts for people for Christmas, birthdays or just as random tokens of love and affection.
