A great book to get about loom knitting is the Loom Knitting Primer by Isela Phelps. It has over 30 projects for you to make as well as teaching you tons of different stitches you can make. I hope you like it!
By the way-my favorite brand for looms is Knifty Knitter, they make 4 round looms and 4 rectangle looms that are great basic looms.
I have been watching her videos on her blog I didn't know that she had a book as well. How exciting, thanks for the hot tip!
