Have you tried a sock loom? I have one but haven't really played with it, though I've done loom knitting before, it comes with a cd for instructions, not that I've watched it yet either lol.
Such a procrastinator, I swear. Apparently my life's motto is why do today what you can do next year
. Just like the two knitting machines I have gathering dust.... Hmmm I really need to get to the store and pick up some yarn....
But loom knitting is really simple, part of the reason why I know I can put off playing with it, though it seems more like a combination of crochet and weaving than knitting, but it comes off looking like a knit
a bit weird, but fun.
