Knitting Loomers?

[proReality]

I've recently discovered the "Knifty Knitter" circular looms. Does anyone here know about them or use them?

I've made scarves and hats, but now I'd like to try a sweater. Would any of you know if there are directions for stitches more involved than the basic knit/purl for these looms?

1. Yes, there are tons of stuff out there

Type in knitting loom in google and you will come across many sites. There are also yahoo groups, quite a few actually, ranging from newbie to sock knitters. And there are a number of sites that have custom made looms, all the way from mini to large enough to make an afghan.

think of that, I use google for everything else. DUH!

Thanks for shaking my brain.

3. I really want to try that.

I want to make a nice fluffy wrap for work. They had a three pack of hoops at Michael's for sale for $2.00 last week. I may pick up a set this weekend.

It's fun, quick and very easy. I usually drop a stitch or two when I knit with needles and not notice it for several rows. But there doesn't seem to be a way to drop a stitch with the loom. I like that!
