Customer Review: Be a Knifty Knitter
Summary: 4 Stars
Welcome to the fabulous world of loom knitting (aka rake knitting, peg knitting, amish loom knitting or frame knitting)!
Pick up a skein of yarn, give yourself an hour or so to pick up this amazing (and easy) craft and off you go. You simply wrap the pegs according to the pattern, use the tool to bring one set of loops over or under another and you're knitting.
REALLY, that's just about all there is to it. It's fantastic.
Various companies make these (I have both these and the ones from In the Attic aka ITA). These are hard plastic, the ITA ones are a flexible molded rubber type of material, with some "give" to it as you work with them. I have not used the wooden ones, but hear they are beautiful and easy to work with.
Note this set of four looms comes with only one loom tool or pick, but I think the carry bag is nice.
Hats, scarves, booties, socks, mittens and sweaters, plus afghans and shawls--and the ever popular poncho--can all be done on these looms. You can do single or double knit, multiple color knitting, flat pieces or circular tubes--it's up to you.
Use furry yarn, sparkle yarns, worsted weight, baby weight etc---it all works with these looms! Most items require that you use two strands of yarn held together to make a tight enough knit stitch but the chunky yarns don't and since you use less of the chunky as a result it saves money.
There are lots of free patterns out there (try websites of loom makers such as Provo Craft, Decor Accents, Red Oak, In The Attic, etc, for starters). Some book titles for the loom are: Learn to Knit on Circle Looms, various pamphlets put out by Provo Craft, etc. Note that this set of four looms comes with only one basic hat pattern with one edging variation (you can make it in various sizes made on the different size looms) to get you started. You supply your own yarn.
There are frame, rake and knifty knitter loom knitting groups on yahoo and elsewhere where you will get invaluable help, see some member photos of completed projects and get free patterns.
Get an inexpensive machine knitting weight (or maybe use a metal fishing bob) and a plastic clothes pin, pin the clothespin to the non working yarn (the one that is usually called a tail, which is anchored to or tied to the knob on the side of the loom) and hang the weight from the hole in the center of the clothespin. Voila--less trouble with slipping yarn!
Note that the In The Attic looms have a push pin that you can either wind tightly around and push in on the side of their soft rubber looms, or on other brands of looms you can slip the yarn into a knob, or in a slit or notch on the side to hold it.
There is also a purple-colored, long, rake loom in the shape of a rectangle that Knifty Knitter makes, which is usually referred to as a rake or scarf board used for flat knitting that makes a double-thick reversible knitting fabric, if both rows of pegs are used, and a single thick fabric if one row of pegs (one side) is used. I have that, too!
Get them all!
