Knitting In The Round

Typically, when I say these four words, it means I am using four or more double pointed needles to knit in a continuous circle. Well, today, I am using a loom to get the same effect!

The rows are not actually connected because I am making a blanket.

The loom is simple enough to work. You simply take your yarn and wrap around each post. When you are done with a row you continue wrapping.

The hook!

This strange little hook is used to pull the bottom loop up, over and off the post to complete each stitch.

The result.

And yes, it does knit. For me, it is a little frustrating because I can actually knit faster.

I started this project when someone suggested it because of a shoulder issue. Almost gave up on this project but decided to continue even though it is a slower process.

If you have shoulder problems or arthritis and miss knitting, you might want to consider a loom. The looms come as a boxed set of various sizes, but you can also find some individual looms.

Get into the loom of things and find your project.

Don’t forget to like and share or buy me a cup of coffee.

I love art, especially photography and painting. My next addition is crafts or primarily needlecrafts. And as if that was not enough, I am a genealogist.
