Rise of the loom

UPDATE: Click here for the link to the free loom-knit headband pattern. 

A couple of gals in The King and I have been knitting on the loom. I had never tried it before but the finished items looked so gorgeous, I just had to give it a try. So I bought the single blue loom, and started making stuff. I needed help getting going, but once I got the hang of it, well I just couldn't stop.

Items made from bulky yarn look the best.

This red cowl is made with two strands of fuzzy yarn held together.

It eats up yarn SO quickly - I used some leftover scraps to make some headbands (modelled by my sister).

Look, my husband wanted to give it a try!

And here he is modelling another neck scarf that is awaiting buttons - he's looking quite smug, isn't he?

If you haven't tried loom knitting, have a go! It's very easy and SUPER quick! I hope to use up a lot of my yarn stash - the problem is I keep buying more because of all the projects I want to try knitting. I bought the circle loom set from Michaels with a Boxing Day coupon - will post about that, and more adventures in loom knitting - soon.
