I've had quite a few inquiries about how I make socks on a loom so I thought I would post about it here...
I use a KB Sock Loom.... You can use a coupon and get them from Joanns. That's where mine came from.
It comes with directions and a DVD... but you can also find all kinds of videos on YouTube. It take a bit of practice to get the hand of it. My first sock got ripped out and started over at least 5 times before it became a sock! The one thing you want to remember is to keep you stitch lose. If they are too tight it makes it harder to flip them over the peg.
Mostly I get asked about turning the heel and toe...
Hope this answered some of the questions.

Thanks for posting this information. I think I see a loom in my future.
