[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knitting an aromatherapy tea cozy

Wed May 27 21:05:25 UTC 2009

Can someone define this device, how it works and what it looks like.  I have seen a set of a few circular looms, as a set, in the store.  Is this what you all are talking about?  I have a $20 gift card from Joe Anne's fabric.
Those doing beeding, can a blind person learn to use beading tools like wire cutters, a crimping tool...  I saw 2 different sets at this store.  From what I could tell, their beading suply is not much good.  Trying to find something useful to use my birthday gift card on.
Sure wish it had been from Michaels!  I love their bead collection.  I can feal almost all of them and they feal like they are kept clean, when I tutch them.  I can not say the same at Joe Anne's.

I have a friend who crochets and her son who was about 7 at the time wanted to learn to crochet.  She tried to teach him, but he got frustrated.  One day he was all excited when she picked him up from after school care.  He announced that he could knit.  He showed her the project he was making on the nifty knitter.  The next day she went out and bought him a nifty knitter of his own.  That evening he got right to making a project at home.  When his father got home he was so excited to show him what he had accomplished so far.  Next thing my friend knew, her son and husband were fighting over using the nifty knitter.  The next day she went out and bought another so that they each could have one.  Her husband and son are hooked.  For mother's day she received a number of items made on the nifty knitter.  She brought the items to show us at our Border's Books Girls Night Out.  One item was a flat rectangle that her husband made for her on the round nifty knitter.  He was so excited to give it to her as it was his first flat piece.  None of us are really sure what he intended the piece to be, but it was flawless.

So, if the nifty knitter works for you, then go for it.  It is on my list of things to learn how to do.

I think I'm going to get a few different size nifty knitters and start using them more for things.  I used to remember how to knit, but have since forgotten, but I do crochet though I can't seem to keep that straight either. the nifty knitter is about the only thing I can do that stays the same shape and size all the time.
