Using a Knifty Knitter Loom tutorial (how-to) Circular Tubular Knitting



I'm learning to make tutorials with my very lame video camera. It's decided to only shoot 4:15 at a time, even though it's supposed to shoot 30. So it was a real challenge getting it together.

First you shoot the footage. Then the movie program breaks even the littlest bit into 4 or 5 bits. Then you have to string them all together, add titles and so on, then you have to re-save it as a whole movie on your computer. Then you have to convert it to yet another format that you can upload to Youtube. Then you put it on Youtube, wait and pray that it won't get rejected because it's too long or whatever reason. So even the simplest little video takes so much time. And I haven't even tried to add music yet.

The week sure went by quick. I had a lot more planned but didn't have the energy to do it. My hands are still sore from woodcarving, and so I've had to lay off the knitting and crocheting. I'm looking forward to the weekend. My daughter may visit. We'll see.

Knifty Knitter Booklets by Provocraft



I found these great pamplets for a mere .99 each at the Beverly's in San Luis Obispo, CA. I was so thankful because I didn't want to part with $10. for the other knitting loom book they had. If you have the looms you already know the enclosed directions are spotty at best. These booklets are a life saver and cover both circular looms and the long loom series.
