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

[sunshine]

And my question is, why not??? I knit, or am learning to knit, but I know many people who knit with looms and seem to like it! Great question, but people seem to enjoy it. It might be easier for me because holding the needles is timess hard on my hands. The looms can be in my lap. Smiles!

Hugs
