A lady at church was trying to get us to make knitted beanies for people who may be homeless, have cancer or for new born babies. Although I want to help where I can I seriously doubted my knitting skills. (I had none). She swore that it wouldn't take more than a couple hours for an entire hat and that anyone could do it. I told her she was a liar but I sat down to work on my project. The first one did take a little bit of getting used to but she was right.. It only took a couple of hours (now I'm down to 2-2 1/2 per hat) and I'M HOOKED! I apologized for telling her she was a liar and handed in 3 hats that week. So for all you out there that are interested in learning how to knit on a loom for quick things. Or you want to help people by doing a quick craft here are some step by step instructions.
Here is the final product as worn by the irritated Bebe. I needed a model and she was the only one home. She loves getting her picture taken. Can't you tell?!
First Step: Buy Yarn (for Knitting) and a Knifty Knitter Loom set. These come with 3 loom sizes generally and the hook you need. You can almost always get these 40% off at Joann's or Michael's.
Start by making a loose tie around the end knob on the loom.
Make sure you have 2 strings of yarn going around each peg.
