Loom Craze
32 Answers
Just watched the news about the Loom craze. Surely this is a form of French knitting from years ago in which a wooden cotton bobbin with small nails attached to the end was used to thread wool through the hole in the bobbin in a knitted form. Nothing new there then!!

Watching this item on the breakfast show made us say "How long will it be before the "Elf 'n safety" brigade scupper this craze, 'baybees' can swallow them, kids flicked in the eye - oh they could have a field day with this one, as with playing conkers!
I remember the bead swapping craze in my playground days, OH remembers badge collecting.

I wonder if Mrs Boo and Mrs Heep are one and the same. Certainly the conservations in our house since last year have been similar. As a result of many hours at the kitchen table all of mini Heep's friends are encased in rubber up to the elbow. She too has moved onto other fantasic creations and the hoover seems to live on a diet of multi coloured bands. What craze next?
