[Nfb-krafters-korner] Need Help with a Knitting/Crocheting Device

[Eleni Vamvakari]

  Okay, I figured I'd better get back to crafts here. *smile*
Seriously, though, my friend lent me a strange device for knitting or
something that I can't figure out.  I've worked on a lap loomb and on
a larger loomb that goes on a desk (not a floor one) but have never
knitted or sewn anything.  In any case, this thing is small, round and
has pegs on it.  You're supposed to get the yarn through the pegs and
go all around to make various items.  But I don't know how to get it
started, even though she showed me and I can't figure out what I'm
supposed to do even once she started it.  It also came with a hooked
needle that you're supposed to use.  Can anyone please explain this in
a way that I can understand?  It looks interesting and I'd like to try
it before I need to give it back.  I tried crocheting once, and though
I'm usually a quick learner, it took a few days for me to learn how to
make a chain and that's about as far as I went.

Thanks,
Eleni
