My neighbor, Carmen, taught me how to loom knit this winter. She and I are sharing a booth at our local Saturday Market. I sell funky, colorful acrylic hats and she sells cool and colorful cotton crochet hats. We both sell other creations as we think of them: headbands, scrunchies, cup cozies, bookmarks.
The response has been surprisingly successful. It is rewarding to see our creations snatched up with obvious glee by all ages.
As the season progresses so will the items for sale. We will slowly add holiday colors and late summer, autumn hues. Right now the booth is bursting with Spring.

Many show an interest in learning loom knitting so looms with started projects are available for them to try. It is amazing how many people have bought these looms and don't know what to do with them. We have extra chairs handy for curious hands.
