any loom knitting here? (fwd)
Melinda Please READ my first answer , my point was that i am not happy with the use o9f the name loom for the knitting activity ,,,,, and that in this case it should be called Frame ,,, i say that the word Loom should be kept for the WEAVING activity ..... mirjam I have no idea what kind of knitting machine you are talking about, but my knitting machine as well as my knitting looms (e.g. hand ones) knit *exactly* the same as knitting, except that each stitch is held on a separate hook (knitting machine) or peg (hand knitting loom), but they are knit *exactly* the same way as you would do on needles. -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it.

I see. Well, since it is in such common usage, I don't know how much
luck you would have with changing it, and I don't think that "frame" describes what happens when you knit without needles.

All that's true. Although the word 'loom' in this context isn't as far as I know used in Britain* it does seem to be so common elsewhere that a one-woman crusade isn't gong to effect a change. Lots of usage of English words - in Britain as well as USA :-) - irritates me but I can only change myself, not anyone else. Mary * I don't know about commercial knitting |
