[Nfb-krafters-korner] FQ What new craft are you interested in? tri looms

[Eileen Scrivani]

Joyce:

Can you explain for me about the "loom" you use.  I've seen looms that allow 
weaving and you need to set up warps.  Do your triangle looms work on the 
same premise, but perhaps more manual than the big expensive looms that 
range in the thousands of dollars?  In stores I've seen little looms that 
come in various shapes/sizes and which have pegs running around the rim.  I 
think they use a hook like device and are meant more to replicate knitting 
rather than weaving.  If I understand what you're doing, you are weaving and 
not knitting, right?

For those interested in the topic of weaving/spinning, etc.  there is a six 
volume web braille book available on the subject for download.

Just wondering.

Thanks.

Eileen

P.S.  Did you get the last MP3 of the final knitting session?  I downloaded 
the file, but it did not play so I'm wondering if it did not turned out. 
Perhaps the change in my email address has something to do with it?  I'm not 
sure.
