[Nfb-krafters-korner] Loom Knitting books on bookshare

[Deborah Armstrong]

Many of these have images, so if you have a sighted friend or some 
vision download the Daisy with images. Otherwise plain daisy is all you 
need. None have descriptions, but some authors are better than others.


I will try to spend a day with Youtube soaking up descriptions there 
when I'm on vacation, then I'll ask Courtney for help.



Here's what I found:


     Loom Knitting Primer
by
Isela Phelps

 From the Book jacket: If you have struggled to knit with needles, loom 
knitting is an easy craft to master-children and adults alike can learn 
in a few
hours. Loom knitting is a revolutionary way of knitting that uses a 
circular or rectangular loom, or knitting board, consisting of a frame 
with pegs. Looms
are easy and fun to use, even without conventional knitting experience. 
You can create almost anything, from knitted tubes for hats or socks to 
flat panels
for scarves, shawls, and sweaters. This book is designed as an essential 
reference and a hands-on project resource for the loom knitter. 
Throughout the
book you will find loom-knitting techniques for both round and 
rectangular looms, together with practice projects. An inspiring design 
section presents
more than 30 patterns to get you started in your new loom-knitting 
adventure. Also included is a guide to the similarities between loom 
knitting and needle
knitting, and a glossary of techniques. Everything you need to master 
loom knitting quickly and easily, from technical know-how to instantly 
appealing
designs. An essential loom-knitting manual to supplement the often scant 
instructions supplied with the looms. More than 30 nifty, no-needle, 
quick-and-easy
patterns for sweaters and accessories, including projects to felt. About 
the Author: Isela Phelps is a graduate of Utah State University where 
she received
a degree in business administration. She is part of the Decor Accents, 
Inc. team, a manufacturer of knitting looms. Isela also teaches knitting 
loom classes
at Yarn Today, a Utah yarn store, and owns and moderates two knitting 
loom online community groups. Isela has been loom knitting for five 
years, during
which time she has created instructions, patterns, and visual aids to
