Aludlam Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I have no idea how to knit. I crochet. Sometime recently, my dd9 saw a commercial about some sort of knitting machine. I think it's some sort of loom that you wrap the tread around and then voila! you've knitted something. Does anyone have any idea what this is? Or better yet, does anyone have a better suggestion? I think this thing was in the $20 price range. fyi, this would be a Christmas present for her. thanks bunches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Was it a Nifty Knitter? If so, you can do a search on here-it's been talked about before-just last wk I asked a question on which one to get, etc. and people were very helpful. BTW, people seem to love it-I didn't hear or read anything bad about it on here, just all good reports, and I did end up buying one for dd10 for Christmas.

Aludlam Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Thanks! I think that is exactly what she saw. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours? I read on one of the threads, that they might sell them at Walmart. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 My daughter received a Knifty Knitter set for her 8th birthday and she has made hats for everyone in the family with it. It is not a machine, but a loom. You can get them at Michael's, AC Moore, Joanne Fabric. They have complete sets or you can just buy individual looms.

dangermom Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 You might start with a set of hat looms. My daughter (now 10) got some for her 9th birthday and she enjoys making hats, and has also learned to knit the usual way now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I just bought it at Michael's-it is the kind that makes FOUR sizes of hats for $14.99 and THEN the 40% off (you can print a coupon online)-I was so happy! :) Walmart carries them but didn't have any selection, plus more expensive than that Michael's coupon. Don't forget the yarn! That thread I started about it had some nice person telling what kinds of yarn are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 You can get knitting looms from Walmart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or Joanne. They come in a set of 3 or 4 in different sizes/colors. The last 3 stores have discount coupons so you can get a set for 40% off. Your dd might also enjoy having a couple skeins of her own yarn, too. I'm guessing they use worsted weight or thicker. My dd wants one of these, too, so I'll be looking into them as well. Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
