Luxurious Loom-Knit Neckwarmer

It’s been a while since we talked loom-knitting around here.  Ever since I got the hang of the needles, my knitting loom collection has been languishing in the basement.  There is one project, however, that has routinely seen me dust off the little blue knifty knitter and take it for a spin.

Members share images of their yarn stash, their works in [...]
