i use to knit and crochet with my aunt when i was a little girl but i quickly grew out of it but now that i am a mother of 2 + 1 on the way i wanted to pick it back up but i stayed too busy to sit down and refresh my memoery a bit so i got into the knitting looms
and let me tell ya they are great
i love them
fast and easy and many mnay things you could make with them
i used the potholder looms when i was a kid too but cant seem to find them anywhere, wanted to get some for my kids, anyone know of anywhere i could find them let me kno
done checked wollyworld and craft stores

I just got my daughter, 16, a set of nifty knitter looms for Christmas. She has taken off with it and is designing her own clothes now. Too cool. I haven't seen a potholder loom for a while. But I did see the loops for them at a Michael's.

yea i know
thats all i see is the nylon loops to make them but no tool

whats easier to do knitting or crochet always been curios...

I knit and crochet and they both seem easy now But I had a hard time to learn to crochet as I hold my crochet hook like I do my knitting needle, so I had to teach myself to crochet. Everyone lost their paience trying to teach me.

Do you have a Joanns Craft store there, or Hobby lobby. of Hancocks Fabrics?? uhhhhhhh hmmmmmmmmm,, Oh a Michael's Crafts?.. have you tried Walmart??

yep tried walmart and michaels but no joanns around me i hardly go into hobby lobby but i'll try it next time im that way

well i know my momnlaw does both and shes quick with both and says both are pretty easy but when i use to do them as a kid i always thought crocheting was easier cause i didnt like working with the big n bulky needles and depending on what your making sometimes you have to use like 4 at one time but whatever floats ya boat

I TRIED MAKING THIS ONE THING FFEW WEEKS AGO, CROCHETING, AND IT JUST WOULDNT WORK FOR SOME REASON SO I HAVE TOSSED IN MY NEEDLES N IM STICKIN WIT MY LOOMS
(ARMS FOLDED, FROWN ON FACE)

I took up crochetting a couple of years back and I love it, but only seem to do it in the winter time for some reason. sometimes I get books from the library and as far as patterns go, it seems there is more of a variety with knitting. I've never knitted but it seems like it would be harder. if you have a needle in each hand...how do you hold the yarn? ha ha
