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

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

 Some items, like hats are easier done on the loom.  You do not have to deal with double pointed needles and decreasing, on the loom, just gathering.  
I find it easier to do things, in the round.

There are those who enjoy both ways of knitting. It is a personal preference. I learned on the looms and have trouble with dropped stitches on the needles.

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