[Nfb-krafters-korner] LOOM PATTERNS

[Susan Roe]

You can do flat pieces on the circular looms, just don't go all the way 
around.  I'll check through my pattern books and see what they have.  My 
sister is learning how to do mitttens on the smaller circular loom.

I do scarfs on the rectangle loom in which you figure eight wrap across 
diagonally twice to three times before you pull the loops over the pegs.
