anyone use knitting looms?
I didn't even know these existed. They look really interesting.

I haven't use them, but several of the ladies on my charity lists use them. They swear they make wonderful hats.

I might pick one of these up. It seems you don't need knitting experience to be able to use one.If you'd like to help support Frugal Living by Sara Noel, my syndicated column, e-mail, write, or call the managing editor at your local newspaper and ask them to publish it in print or online.

Sara this is along those lines, I have one of these and it makes a cord, which you can then make into placemats, seat mats, rugs etc. You just start rolling the cord into a spiral and stitch it together as you go around or oval, whatever you want.
Here is how you use it, although the one in the pic is plastic, it works the same way.

Can make the same types of things...rugs, placemats, chair pads.
Looking at that little tutorial, I was following right along until the end. rofl. I'd need to see it actually off the loom to fully grasp it.If you'd like to help support Frugal Living by Sara Noel, my syndicated column, e-mail, write, or call the managing editor at your local newspaper and ask them to publish it in print or online.

To end Sara, you cut your yarn (leave enough to finish off, more is better you can always cut it). Thread the end of the yarn on a darning needle and then pick up each stitch off a pin, go around until you come to the beginning. Pull up tight and I would make a knot similar to when you sew on a button. You can then 'hide' your yarn end by inserting the darning needle into the center of the cord, I would take it down 5-6" (that way if it came loose from washing ect. you would have enough to reknot it again) and then come out through the side of the cord, clip off the excess yarn.
Now your cord is ready to be made into whatever you want.
Does that help?~~ Dee ~~
