Knitting on a Loom

I recently bought a purple Knifty Knitter loom. I've made several hats, scarves, and pom-poms using the directions it came with. I want to start making other things. Can someone tell me how to read patterns I find online? Of make a video of how to do it? I'm a visual learner so a video would be nice.

I am using the long looms but I found a couple of videos for them on youtube. Like you I couldn't follow the directions on the website. I hope it's ok to post a link here:

Yay!! Other loom knitters, jeez I thought I was the only one.
Youtube does have some informative videos, of course I figured out on my own how to put panels together to make blankets and ponchos. Would love to see some your work!

I am another loom knitter. Happy

I have a long and a round loom. I prefer the long loom because it makes a double stitch. The round loom is only a single stitch.

Super easy fingerless gloves knit on a small round loom.

I use more of a formula. I use the figure 8 stitch and make a 40 inch scarf, then give it a twist and sew the ends together for the warmest cowl. Bulky yarn on a long loom.

I really would like to start using a loom. Both a long one and a sock loom... Has anyone went from using needles to a loom? Is it weird switching?

It is actually refreshing to switch. Not hard to go back and forth and cuts down on the repetitive stress motion injuries I think.
