HAs anyone used the Knifty Knitter to make Christmas gifts?

I have made a lot of things on it.Hats,scarves,shrugs,mittens,I'm working on a poncho,too I have a link to Joanns on my blog. They often have free shipping and coupons for 40-50% off. http://loomingwithsue.blogspot.com If you get the looms, if I can answer any questions,let me know. There are a lot of patterns and advice on line.

I like to use one strand worsted and one strand novelty for a lot of things. I just got 37 skeins yarn from my sister. Alot of tehm were red heart pounder. They had a lot on clearance in Chambersburg where she lives ,so she bought me a combination. It was great.

The Knifty Knitter was on sale today so I got the circular set. I didn't even think to look to see if the rectangular one was on sale. They are sold at both Michael's and JoAnn's. I'll have to look at the website you mentioned for ideas, but I know my friend has made baby blankets with hers. What kind of yarns have you found the most useful?

Did you buy the purple one? I have done several hats ,and scarves on the round ones and the purple. I have the set of long looms and the flower one,too. I ahve been off work because of medical issues and I have been looming and crocheting away.

Sometimes customers ask me if I'd recommend the knifty knitter for kids to use. Since my kids are out of college now, I'll have to ask you younger moms and dads. Do you kids use the Knify Knitter? Do they like it? What ages were they when they learned to use it? What is the youngest age you'd recommend it for?

I do have the purple one (its like a long skinny rectangle). I got it at walmart or michaels. I haven't really used it though. Last January, I was looming up a storm.

I originally only bought my first set because they were demoing at Joanns,the lady was pretty good.Of course it helped to have a 50% off coupon. I am so glad I did.

It works up faster than conventional knitting, but like all yarn crafts, it still takes time. I can make a hat in about 4 hours.

I hope you can find one or a loom on the order of them. A lot of people are making wood looms which work the same way, but the knifty knitters are more economical. Now that I have been loom knitting for a few months,I want to purchase a fine gauge loom.

These are a lot different from those small flowers.You can make clothing items on thes in a couple hours for hat. Much easier then connecting those flowers,I remember those.

Good luck getting them. They really are great.You will see that you can finish a hat in about 2-2 1/2 hours,and probably a scarf depending on how big about 3 hours.

You may find out looming is something you will like, It is fast and fun to do.

I have done several hats in different designs,scarves,shawl,shrugs,and a couple purses. I find it to be very quick,and I like the results.

I have not made an afghan yet, that is my next project,but I have made a lot of other items,ponchos,stockings,slippers,and shrugs. You can try http://www.provocraft.com,they have a lot of projects, Good Luck

Silly me...that's what you meant by loom knitting. I teach classes at Michael's and another lady teaches the knifty knitter. I'm going to take her class because if she ever has to miss a class, she'll need a substitute. She uses it to make hats, scarves, baby blankets, purses and other great things. Once a month we meet to knit for charity, and about half those ladies use the knifty knitter too.

I have noticed a glitch on mylot. If I upload a photo for a different discussion, then start a new discussion, it posts the image from the old discussion. Pretty inconvenient as now we have an octopus sandsculpture in the knitting thread. I have no idea how to get rid of it either. Laughs.

I just finished two scarves and a hat ,started them yesterday.I am doing them in a black/gold plaid 2x2.Ill have to get some pictures loaded.

There are a lot of good patterns online. http;\\www.provocraft.com They are very easy to use.
