Customer Review: The knifty knitter looms
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutly love this product? I have made 10 hats in about
15 minutes. And 5 scarves in 20 minutes. It is great about
the things you can make with yarn and looms.

Customer Review: Great product, not-so-great instructions...
Summary: 4 Stars
I was thrilled to have purchased this loom set just a couple of days ago at Michael's using my 40% off coupon for a total of $12!!! I am an avid knitter and recently stumbled onto loom knitting as my 5 year old daughter received a small kid's loom over the holiday weekend and I could not put it down!!! The only bad thing I have noticed so far is the severe lack of proper instructions included with the set. I spent all day trying to figure out how to make some basic stitches (knit, purl, etc.) to no avail. Even my mother who has been knitting and crocheting since she was a teenager was annoyed and confused with the instruction guide. The only good thing about the directions included is that they had nice pictures, but only included directions for a scarf. I would have thought from the outside of the package that there would have been more a more comprehensive booklet included. There are patterns and instructions on the provocraft site, but nothing with any kind of pictures and very limited information for someone who is new to the craft of looming.
Needless to say, I was very frustrated by this evening and was debating whether or not to take the set back. I am glad I did not as I just spent the last couple of hours watching some great Youtube videos including one must see video with Isela Phelps, located at [...], which goes step-by-step through all the basics (casting on, basic stitches and casting off) to which I have already made a sample swatch of all these techniques for quick reference in the future. Isela Phelps has 4 books listed here on Amazon. I am getting ready to order, "Loom Knitting Primer: A Beginner's Guide to Knitting on a Loom with over 30 Fun Projects". From all the reviews I have seen online, this books seems to get high marks for beginners. She also has a website, [...], and blog which I will be following closely for more info as I get going with this whole looming thing! Had I not found this resource, I would be returning the set.
Customer Review: Loom Knitting
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the long loom and round loom sets at a brick and mortar store near my home. Loom knitting is relatively easy for me to learn as it is very similar to the spool knitting I used to do as a child. I've already made a hat and scarf set and I'm still looking for other pattern ideas that are easy for me to practice with. Eventually, I may decide to try a more complicated pattern with these looms.Customer Review: Scarves, Cowls and Shawls

I like the product and the weight of it. I made a scarf and a cowl already and I really enjoy how they look. But I've only used two of the sizes, and I can't really figure out what I'd need with the other two sizes, I'm sure there is a project for them somewhere.
I wish the pegs were a bit closer for a tighter knit, but other than that I like the looms.
Customer Review: Love them!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this product. It allowed me to create a baby afghan without seaming together two pieces as I had to do previously with the round looms. I agree that directions are lacking, but there is a wealth of information available on the internet, yahoo groups have many looming groups and there are books available on amazon too! Happy looming!
