Knitting on a loom is a great way to craft; it's comfortable, easy on your hands, and there is a huge variety of projects you can make!  We've featured the Martha Stewart Crafts^TM Knit & Weave Loom Kit a few times because it is an easy-to-use tool that can help you make all sorts of projects, including this adorable loom-knit panda.

Making the panda is simple with the step-by-step instructions written by the innovative loom knitting and weaving designer, Noreen Crone-Findlay.

Loom knitting is also a great activity to do with kids. Once you have the loom set up and have gotten the project started, why not let the child in your life knit a few rows? Knitting on a loom can be easier for little hands than working with regular knitting needles, and the colorful pegs make it easy to show children how to form a stitch. Kids will always remember how they helped knit their treasured teddy bear!

As always, we hope you'll keep playing and keep on creating!

Your friends,
