KNITTING WITHOUT NEEDLES
There is a new web ring for loom knitters! Click here for the main page or Click here for a list of websites in the ring. Are you feeling wild and crazy? If so, click here to visit a random website in the Knitting Without Needles web ring! If you're looking for inspiration or motivation to start a new project. I highly recommend blogs. They show you what others have made, the colors they have used, and start you thinking that "Hey I can do that, too!". Make sure you read A Stitch in Time. The 11/29/2005 post has some beautiful purses that were made on the yellow loom and then felted.
Yahoo has a great group for Knifty Knitters. Check out the Files folder for patterns and the Photos folder for ideas!

Michael's carries a $1 pattern book for the beginner. I noticed this weekend that Wal-Mart has a book as well. Happy Knifty Knitting!
AMAZON.COM UPDATES
The shipping is more than the cost of the book (and the book is only $1 at the stores) but if you're already thinking of placing an order, you may want to add the pamphlet. If you're giving a Knifty Knitter set for the holidays then you may want to get the Knifty Knitter Pamphlet.
. I haven't seen a book/pamphlet for it. There are websites with instructions. If anyone has one, I'd love to see the projects you've created with it. Please post a link to your pictures or blog in the comment section.

Hello. I just got the knifty knitter. I am not a knitter and this is my first time. I knitted a beautiful long scarf and took it off of the loom only to have it all come unraveled because I did not know how to finish it so this won't happen. I have searched the web to find instructions for this and cannot. Can you help me find simple directions that someone like me who is a super beginner can understand so I won't have to cry again?! :-) thanks Hr
Oh no, how frustrating that must have been for you! Before you remove your knitting from the Knifty Knitter, you'll need to bind off the stitches on your pegs. Here are two commonly used bind-off methods for the Knifty Knitter. I hope these help!
GATHERING METHOD: To gather the ends together (like you would do at the top of a hat or on a closed tube scarf) look at this website:

FLAT REMOVAL METHOD: To leave the ends of the scarf open (like a tube) look at this website:

Hi, I just got my knifty knitter yesterday and made two hats but want to make adult slippers with pom poms.
The only free pattern I can find appears to be for baby booties.
Thought I saw a pattern before I bought the looms but can't find it now....
Can anyone direct me to the pattern?
I made my slippers using cputzier's pattern from the Knifty Knitter Looms Yahoo Group. You can also find the Two Tone Slippers with Heel pattern on her website. I hope this helps!
