As the projects are arranged from beginner to advanced, new loom knitters can progress through the designs while learning and mastering techniques along the way. Isela provides the clear, easy-to-follow instructions her books are known for, and shares hints and tips for how to choose the right loom and yarn for a project. An illustrated introductory chapter explains and demonstrates everything you need to know about loom knitting and serves as a great refresher course. A finishing section helps you achieve expert results and provides instructions for how to personalize your designs with a range of embellishments. Review: Another great pattern book from Isela! - This is one of my favorites! To the other reviewer who said that there were too many baby blankets, only 6 out of 20 are baby blankets. I don't think that's a crazy amount plus they're different, and once you're really good at loom knitting, I'm sure you can adjust the length and change the colors to make them something else... I noted that 4 out of 6 of the baby blankets suggest the Authentic Knitting Board All in One, 1 uses the AKB Super Afghan Loom, and 1 uses the Martha Stewart Loom. All the other blankets/throws/afghans use either the AKB All in One, AKB Super Afghan Loom, AKB 28" with peg extenders, and the martha stewart loom (one or two patterns not many with the martha stewart one). I really like this because I only have the Authentic Knitting Board looms, and I know that Isela works for them, so I'm sure that's why she uses them--definitely no problem with that at all!! :D I think Isela has really professional patterns, given her massive amount of experience. These are perfect for homemade gifts for anyone. They all look fun to make, and relatively straightforward to follow. The patterns are mostly words, but some have additional charts for cables, shapes, or letters. I'm going to start one of the baby blankets because, I'm in my 20's and a lot of my friends and cousins are having babies, so a lot of these would be so cute for them. I remember I had a few baby blankets growing up and the only ones that were my favorite were the handmade knitted/crocheted ones. This is a great addition to Isela's other pattern books, I would definitely add this to your collection! Brand new patterns on blankets and afghans that you'll love! Review: Glad I bought this book - Love this book. The patterns are very well written and so easy to follow. Part One - Techniques and Materials has some great tips for every stage of a project inlcuding step by step images for different cast ons and cables.

Loom Knitting Afghans
I love the idea of being able to knit afghans on a loom without having to use knitting needles instead. This book is ideal in that it gives lots of great ideas and the instructions are very well illustrated.
