I see you're off and running with the rubber band bracelets! Love all your colorful creations in your recent posts! As usual, you take things to a higher level very quickly!
I didn't understand the need for a fancy loom when a knitting spool would do the job to make the basic bracelet; but normal knitting spools have that long shaft (where a long strand of yarn is necessary for pulling the tube of knitting). So now I see there is this specially made EZ Looper (shorter in length than the knitting spools, and with six pegs!) which works perfectly and simply! Now I'll have to find one! Last year among the many fancy-loom videos (some made by six-year-olds!), one gal simply taped two felt-tip markers together and did the basic bracelets using a crochet hook to pull loops over the two markers. I enjoyed making several bracelets and was having fun and was even adding beads. This truly has been a phenomenon in crafting! Of course, it started with those small rubber bands, which I believe were hair accessories!
Thanks for alerting me to this new 'spool'. I'll be on the lookout for it!
