A couple of years ago now, a friend of mine had one of these really cool knitting looms. So, I searched one out and found a set of different sizes. So, while my husband and I were on vacation (we stayed in a motel in Omaha last week for 3 nights & 4 days, with no children, to celebrate our 20th anniversary!), and while we were there, I decided I'd try out making a couple of hats. These aren't the nicest, but for my first tries, the kids sure are getting a kick out of them! :+)
