[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Top-down hat class homework

[carcione at access.net]

I forgot there's a tiny bit of homework!  

Cast on 8 stitches.  Use whatever method you want, even backwards loop.

Leave a tail of 5 or 6 inches, which you will use to close up the small hole
at the top of the hat.

Good Afternoon Tracy, Terry P. and I will be there. Will you please go over
how to make the Magic Loop and how to do the KFB (Knit In The Front And Back
again please?

Thanks and looking forward to talking to you and to class.

Henry and Terry

Tomorrow I'll be teaching people to needle knit a hat from the top down.  

Anyone can join, but I'll only send my notes afterwords to the people who
sent me their email address. 

As a reminder, you'll need:

A ball of yarn in any weight you want;

A circular knitting needle or a set of double-pointed needles or a set of
flexi-needles;

A stitch marker;

A method for keeping track of your row and stitch count.

 

You need to know how to knit, purl if you want ribbing, and increase.  I use
the kfb increase, knit front and back.  If people don't know it, I will do
my best to teach it. 

 

If I'm using a circular needle, I prefer a 16-inch long one.  It's long
enough for Magic Loop, and it's the right size to knit a hat for an adult
without needing Magic Loop once the increasing is done.

 

The number to call tomorrow at 7:30 PM is 

chat line: 667-770-1685, code 614370.

 

See you then!

Tracy
