[Nfb-krafters-korner] word of warning.

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I was at Walmart and I think I found the foam shapes you were talking
about.  I found packs of big circles and big containers of little shapes
and letters in kind of a plastic cube.
I also found a kit with four or more knitting looms and yarn and
instructions, for a bit under $12.00.  I think they are plastic.  Looks
like all are round, but different sizes. How hard is this to do?  Is it
faster than knitting needles?  How do you get your yarn over those humps
with out stretching the yarn or you might say, altering the size of your
stitches?

I found out the foam product I use is called foam ease or something
close too it. there is a glue made spisifically for gluing the stuff.
If you decide to use it, do yourself a favor and put on some disposable
gloves first, the stuff is extremely hard to get off your skin!  I had
to use rubbing alcohol, and there's still some left on my hand I think. 
the stuff is thin, and a little will go a long way, but a little will
take a long time to go away if you get it on bare skin!
