Happy Looming!
Loom knitting is an art form that has increased in popularity over the last few decades. This Podcast has been created to spotlight the loom knitting community. My hope is that it will enhance the efforts of loom companies, yarn companies, pattern designers, and loomers. That organizations who need knitted items will come forward and share opportunities that can help us use our talents. The goal is to continue to educate, enhance and grow this amazing community and the wonderful craft of loom knitting. Hosted by CinDWood Crafts. All are invited. Keep Calm and Loom On!
