[Nfb-krafters-korner] look of loom knitting VS needle knitting

[jill]

Here is some info from the love of yarn website.

Advantages of using looms for knitting include an even knitting gauge, no
mysteriously appearing or disappearing stitches, rarely dropping stitches,
and ease of use for those with arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome.

I don't mean to belittle loom knitting, but why do it if you already knit
with needles?

hi Paulette,

yes, the knitting looks the same, whether knitting on a loom or needles.
there are a couple of different knit stitches used on the loom  the "true"
knit stitch is the stitch that is exactly the same as a knit stitch with
needles. the "eWrap" stitch looks just like   the     twisted knit stitch
made on needles.the purl stitch looks exactly alike  wether on the loom or
needles.
loom knitting is like knitting in the round with needles because there is no
need to turn your work. you can knit both round or flat items on a loom. .

Cathy
