Fact #1. One way in which regular knitting and loom knitting dovetail is in the murkiness of their history. While historians have artifacts and fragments of information, the knitting community produces a lot of misinformation, speculation, and charming stories that simply aren't true. Many agree that both these types of knitting settled into their current form sometime in the 16th century. Spool knitting may have been invented even earlier.
Fact #2. It's possible that knitting began in the Middle East as early as 200 AD. Part of the problem behind knowing with certainty is that artifacts from this time aren't exactly plentiful. Many of the oldest examples don't look like the knitting of today. Many artifacts were, in actuality, produced through nalbinding.
Fact #3. Loom knitting is a type of handcrafting that relies on a piece of equipment with pegs to produce stitches. In some cases, it's viewed as less useful than traditional hand knitting. It's sometimes seen as something for kids to do. While it's true that this can be a great craft for kids, there's no reason it has to be an inferior activity. You can use these to make everything from small socks to large sweaters.
Fact #4. One benefit of loom knitting is that, if you don't know how to do it, you can probably learn in about 10 minutes. The basic operation is fairly simple. You don't have to worry about holding the yarn, dropping stitches, losing an entire row of stitches, or many of the other problems hand knitters face.
Fact #5. With this type of knitting, you can make flat pieces, such as afghans, scarves, dish cloths, mats, and even the pieces for a sweater. When you use a round loom, you can make circular pieces, including hats, socks, mittens, stockings, and sweaters you don't have to seam.
