I knit and crochet, but I have never heard of a nifty knitter. I'll have to see those next time I am in at walmart...my daughter might enjoy that, I have tried teaching her, but she hasn't gotten any further than a scarf:>)

sufficientforme, it's not as hard as it looks. All the weird things I create are just basically tubes and balls sewn together. It's like the old art class exercise where you start by drawing things as either cubes, cylinders, globes, pyramids, etc...

I also have about a dozen looms all in different sizes. I keep finding them cheap at garage sales :D

Just started on my nifty kniter hat. Gotta keep those loops loose, eh?

ETA: any other tips for a newbie?
:thumbsup I could never get my knitting on the loom to be nice and thick, I end up with long strings between the stitches :th I pretty much gave up and use needles instead. Perhaps the pegs are too far apart on the knifty knitter for me.

It just keeps getting tighter and tighter! I'm going to break my hook at this rate. I started over twice. I have a nice little pile of "Raggedy Ann" hair sitting here on my desk. :/
