[Nfb-krafters-korner] nifty knitter class

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Are you talking about if 4 or 5 rows is enough for the Brim?  They say about 12 rows to make a Brim or you can tell if it is long enough by folding what you have knitted so far in half. If it would make a nice size brim, then it is enough.  A tiny hat is usually made with 12 rows to make the brim, then 12 more rows for the remainder of the hat.

Hi,

Vickie here.  Finally after about 4 or 5 hours, perhaps I've gotten it.  I'm using one strand of worsted but this is practice on the smallest loom.  So if I succeed in making a hat, I'll buy some better yarn and try again.  

I was having trouble anchoring the yarn after  wrapping so I got one of those old fashioned hair clips and  am holding the yarn around the peg with that.  That seems to work for me.  I've gotten about 4 or 5 rows done.  Is that enough or do I need more?

Thanks all for the encouragement last night.  

Vickie
