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

Oh, that would be the nifty nitter. I think it was Cindy that did a couple
of files on how to use it. If you want 	them, write me offlist and I'll send
them.

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

  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
