WEll actually ...do you remember having the spool with the nails and the yarn got looped over the nail and then you wrapped again and...well if you ever had one...this is making sense...a knitting "loom" is sort of like that concept with the lay the yarn out nd loops come through and ..gosh im not helping am I? but they come in a few different forms...

I love knitted sweaters, I used to crochet, but for some reason I just have never wanted to knit by hand. Fran I don't know if anyone has answered this yet but I don't think it's anything like a weaving loom. You have to manually increase and decrease and bind off, and if you're using the ribbing attachment you have to manually transfer the stitches over to it. Other than that it's just a matter of moving the carriage back and forth. If you want a design, you just put a punch card in, add the other color you want, then just go back and forth with the carriage. I also have a lace attachment but I've never tried using it. You still have to sew the pieces together by hand or you could use a serger. I didn't have a serger at the time I was using my knitting machine a lot. There is a special carriage or machine you can buy to connect the pieces. I actually have an old one I bought somewhere but never tried it out.
