Any knifty knitter users?

found this online via Google. There seems to be a ton of free pattern and project ideas online to

I have a set but haven't even taken it out of the bag yet. Maybe I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the reminder.

my 6 year old has been using them for over a year. he has problems with fine motor control & knitting on the frame is great therapy. he's made hats & we both worked on a scarf for Grandma (which she loves & says gets her loads of compliments). i like them for making scarves, because unless i'm doing a pattern or color work, scarves are boooooooring :) they are much faster, so i can get finished before terminal boredom sets in.

So is the kniffty knitter a big board with nails ???? if you can make quick scarves on it , you can make several scarves and sew skirts sweaters ponchos from them ,,, mirjam

If you get the long ones instead of the rounds....they do double thickness without being a tube. My daughter has been using those for lapghans to give to the nursing home where i work. She works up strips on them and we sew them together. Then we just crochet a nice edge all around.

Also....since you always use 2 strands of yarn together to work on them, they are great to use up yarn leftovers for afghans / lapghans.

Habe you tried when anyway working with 2 threads , making opposite knitting , like lay the 2 threads in X position , you might geta Double knit cloth , [that is what happened to me on the Knitting plank mirjam

Mirjam, The Knifty Knitter is made out of heavy duty plastic and is round like an embroidery hoop with knobs sticking up (like nails would). You wrap your yarn around the knobs and use a special tool to bring the loops over the knobs. They also come in a straight design.

Hi,

I'm new here, but just got a set of knifty knitter hoops a couple of months ago and have been having so much fun with them. Allows me to knit and create things (scarves, hats, lap robes, shawls, blankets/afghans, etc) quickly without ever having learned how to knit using regular knitting needles. I love them!!!

Now, my question is does anyone here know of a good reputable source to mail order yarn, knitting looms, knitting supplies, crochet supplies, etc? Or just a good reputable source for mail order for crafters?

If so, would you be willing to share that source?

Thanks so much to all of you and blessings to you all! . .
