I bought mine at Hobby Lobby. The ones that were on ebay were some that either customers or employees of Hobby Lobby got a hold of and sold them. I would check with Crafts, etc. which is the online site for Hobby Lobby and see if they have any. I am an associate at the Hobby Lobby here in West Columbia, SC and I have had these looms on back order for about three weeks now. But I am telling you if you will go on the Hobby Lobby website you will see a link for Crafts etc. and then look under needlework if they are listed there you can order them directly. Otherwise you can check you local store if you have one in your area. Give me a shout if you are still running into any problems.

where to buy a serenity loom by: Kim
Hi I was wondering where you bought your serenity loom. They used to have them on ebay but now I haven't found them for a bit. I was saving for one and now can't get one.

hope this helps by: Marsha
Hollie, I am glad that you are interested in trying the larger loom. When I bought my Serenity loom it came with a pattern book inside kind of like what the Knifty Knitter looms used to have. That is the set not the individuals. I am using that as my guide on doing a blanket for my friend. I would suggest that you use one of the pattern sheets to guide you through the amount of yarn you might need. The size of your loom will determine how much yarn you will need as well. I am using a single strand for right now until I can get used to this wild and wooly piece of equipment. This loom is definitely not for the timid that is for sure. I am glad to hear from you too Kathy. I have mixed yarns for different project as well and noticed how sometimes my projects will shrink like yours did and other times it seems they swell up or tangle up. Have you had that happen?

Serenity Patterns by: Hollie
Would you mind telling me more about your pattern for the cover you are making for your friend? I would be most happy for any hints you could give as I am tired of putting afghans together and would love to be able to do whole thing at one time. I have no idea how to figure out how much yarn I need so I really need help. I have used other looms and have even taught others to use them but I feel like I need to get all my yarn in advance and I can't find anywhere that I can get the info. Have you had the same problem?

Loom fun! by: Kathy
Hi Marsha!
I just started loom knitting the end of November, so have only been at it 2 1/2 short
months. I started with the Knifty Knitter round
loom set, made some hats and then wanted to make
matching scarves so I bought a 36-peg-the purple-
long Knifty Knitter. I also bought a couple of
pattern leaflets they had at Wal-Mart. I must
have tried about 15 or 20 times to follow their
instructions to make scarves and they all came
out too thick and bulky. So I experimented. (Oh,
I neglected to mention I was trying to make some
loose fluffy FunFur scarves, something like the
ones one sees for sale in the stores.) After many
trials and errors, I came up with starting from the peg with one strand of Caron Simply Soft and
one strand of Lion Brand Fun Fur (you can use 2
strands of this if you want more "fur")wrapping
to the right, every other peg, to the 13th peg
(which is 7 wraps). Cross straight across the
loom and wrap back to the end. Push the strands
down and do the same wraps again. Knit over.
Continue for as long as you want the scarf to be.
BUT-the whole tube will shrink together to the
center after about ten rows, making a scarf that's only about 2 1/2 inches wide--perfect for
today's fashion! And it will stretch out a little
longer than when 1st knit. After I'm done and
have sewn off the ends, I lay it across my leg
and "pluck" the Fun Fur strands up from the
regular yarn, so it's fuzzier! Makes a GREAT
scarf! Since Nov. I've already made somewhere
between 40 and 50 of these as gifts, and now
have orders from many ladies for many more!!
I've made matching hats for some, and they all
love them because they're not as tight to the
head as commercial ones, and becuz they can get
the exact color they want!!
Happy knitting!!
