Simple

Looking forward to trying this out. Plenty of pictures, instructions without getting complicated. Doesn't look impossible anymore, encouraging. Going to keep it on the e reader.

Looking for easy

This looks easy. Ordered the KB loom can't wait to get it s o I can start. I love being able to use my kindle for this.

Since I haven't read every single pattern in this book, I can't actually judge in entirety. Still, I did find it easy to follow in a couple of patterns I did use. The illustrations are far better than most of the loom knitting books. I do plan to keep it as a reference. There are still a couple of the socks I want to try.

No worsted weight patterns

The instructions are good, but I was hoping for some worsted weight patterns to get the technique down since this is supposedly for people new to loom knitting.

Not amazing, could have gotten the same info from free youtube videos.

I am going to have to get the KB Sock Loom to work these patterns, but I'm really looking forward to trying them out one day.

Socks

Can't wait for my loom to arrive. Thursday!! I love learning more looming stitches and patterns. Looming is easier on my hands so at 82 I can keep moving on.
