Hi,
So happy to visit your blog today, I love to knit and I’ve seen these looms but I always wonder how do they work and if the knitted items using these looms are as good as the knitted items made with knitting needles.
your article helped me to see these looms will help me to make different items with less work as when you do the items counting points and rows with the needles.
This is a great site, I will continue to read more .
Thanks for stopping by Alejandra. Looms certainly make the job faster and easier, especially if you are knitting for profit, but to me there is nothing quite as satisfying when it comes to knitting as doing it by hand with knitting needles the good old fashioned way.
Hey there! I was just looking for an authentic knitting board. I love blankets and seeing that winter is right around the corner, I figured it was time to start making a couple.
Being 6ft with long legs, its very hard to find blankets that are long enough so I’ve decided to quit the rat race this year and just make my own! lol. I really appreciate you taking the time to list the features and benefits of each one. Can’t wait to get started with my daughter.
Thanks,
Marlinda
Hi Marlinda,
Yes you will be able to knit blankets in a jiffy now. Good luck.
Looms are a lot of fun. My grandparents had one of the old, huge ones in their basement. I always enjoyed watching and helping my grandmother use it. They even had a little one I could use to make socks on. Looms really are a great hobby. And these ones look like a lot of fun. They’re certainly more colorful than the ones I used growing up.
You’re right Nicole, looms have certainly become prettier and a lot more practical nowadays. They appeal to kids as well as adults and it is no wonder that they are so popular as it is now easy to create something useful.
Hi there As a hand knitter I found your article very interesting. I haven’t heard of knitting boards before and am curious to know more about how you use them. I see there are different sizes depending on what type of garment you want to make. However, I’d love to see some photos or illustrations showing them in action. Do you have any available that you could add?
Hi Ann,
Thanks for your input. Great idea, I will put up some videos shortly on this post on how the knitters work.
Good afternoon. I was just searching random stuff and happened on your page. I dont knit but my wife has been crocheting for years and lately has expressed an interest in knitting but had no clue where to start. Im going to show her your article and see how that goes for her. Thank you for the great information.
Thanks Dale. Hope you wife enjoys her journey into the knitting world.
It was good reading your website. I have been wanting to knit my own blankets/throws, but I convinced myself that I will never have the time. Also, since it has been so long, I was afraid that I may have lost most of the technique.
But now that I understand the different types of looms, I am encouraged to give it a shot. I am excited!
Go for it Bridget, as the looms make it really quick work and you can design whatever your heart fancies.
Hi,
Thanks for your educational write-ups, my children like knitting, but most times I see it as just one of those usual children’s play stuff. My eyes got more open after reading from this and your time taken for research, that you have put together to enlighten people like us, am really going to encourage them to put in more effort.
The economic empowerment of knitting is another sweet thing to know if one knits because they love knitting,
Thank you, I hope to read more from you.
Bye.
I like the authentic knitting board rotating double knit loom. It looks really interesting. I think that it would make really good leg warmers and neck warmers, and hats. What else can be made with this knitting board? The tadpole knitting board seems like a good idea for kids to start learning how to knit and make things for themselves.
Yes, the tadpole is a great way to get your kids interested in knitting in a fun and non complicated way.
As for the rotating authentic knitting board, you can make just what you mentioned, as well as panels which can be sewn together to make blankets, as well as scarves and afghans.
Knitting is one of my best hand works. With growing populations of both mother and children around the world.
Knitting will and has gradually evolved as a profession. My mum used to be a knitter and I learnt a lot from her, she knitted socks both for all my siblings and over time I have looked for a place to buy knitting assesories.
Well thank you for your post, I think i have a clue now.
Hey ,my little girl is really in love with your article here, she likes knitting and it is all that she does best.
I just called her to come and see what you are saying… she is just inspired and she is now asking me to buy her the different knitting equipment. She only knew of loom knitting and now she is inspired by all the details you have just talked about .
Thanks for your blog.
Great, I am glad your daughter loves knitting. I love creative children.
Wow, this is what I have been looking for, thanks.
You remember the other time I passed by your website and left my comment on your article about the Addi Knitting Machine. I recommended it to my sister and she was so happy about the Addi Knitting Machine, it has been part of my budget and I want to surprise her by buying it for her.
But I just didn’t want to buy just one gift for her. I really like her love for knitting and she is gradually become more and more expert in this handy work. I realize one of the things she like to do most with her knitting work is hat, she really loves making different varieties of hats with all sizes and colors. So I decided to visit your website again as I promised the other time to Bookmark it and I did so it was easy for me to find it from my browser.
I think among All the Authentic Knitting Boards you recommend in this article, I will like to buy the Authentic Knitting Board Hat Loom in addition to the Addi Knitting machine for her. It is part of my budget and I will do it sooner to surprise her, I know she will be so grateful for it.
Thanks a lot for all your hard work and the good information you keep sharing with us.
Stephen.
Thanks for stopping by again Stephen. I would recommend first buying the one then the other, as the Addi can knit hats just fine as well as a lot of other things. However if she just wants to knit hats, then just get the hat loom.
