LOOM knitting is a blessing when your hands are hurting from crocheting and you want to do some yarn crafts.
There are some wonderful books to help you get started. I used Loom Knitting Primer to loom several projects. the brocade baby sweater was a big hit as a baby shower gift.
This book will both teach you and challenge. Try it out and you will love Loom Knitting
Happy crafting!
