Isela and her husband developed this item to please loom sock knitters&#8211;you can make socks for your entire family on this loom instead of purchasing different sizes for little feet or big feet. Also, instead of the e-wrap, this loom uses a zig-zag method. Instead of wrapping each peg,&#0160;you simply weave the yarn in front of the pegs and behind the pins, then knit off! Super knifty! (Here&#39;s her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.purlingsprite.com\/2009\/05\/behindalways-behind.html\">.PDF instructions<\/a>. Knowing Isela, a video tutorial isn&#39;t far off.)<\/p>\n<p>I think at over $90, this may be a future Christmas gift and not just a little splurge. However, I must say that the DA Looms are lovely, well-made, and something a future loom knitter will be ecstatic to find in a treasure box 100 years from now, so the price is worth it, but with my budget, it does rank as a &quot;super special&quot; gift.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, my one try at using a sock loom was pretty disastrous. I started out with my lovely <a href=\"http:\/\/www.decoraccentsinc.com\/Sock_Knitting_Looms_for_Sock_Weight_Yarns_p\/sk-002.htm\">EFG DA Oval Sock Loom<\/a>, but didn&#39;t get past the toe. It seems that my eyes and very close, tiny knitting don&#39;t get along, and as a result the loom has been gathering dust for over a year. I&#39;ve often considered swapping it with someone who owns a FG sock loom to see if a larger gauge would keep me interested. It&#39;s possible I&#39;m simply not a sock knitter; but with an entire skein of bamboo sock yarn waiting for a purpose in life, I feel compelled to try again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#39;s a new item for my wish list, the EvenKnit Sock Loom from DecorAccents Looms.
