[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knifty Knitter Class...

Thu Nov 4 17:39:25 UTC 2010

It will get better the more you do it. I had to keep taking mine out as I 
seemed to keep missing a loop and had some holes in the piece which I know 
should not have been there. Linda

>> Thanks Cindy and Henry!
>> I ended up changing over to one strand of regular yarn.  I need to get
>> the hang of wrapping loosely.  It has a lot of holes, but rather
>> pretty.  Done with cotton, it might make a nice lacey table runner.
>> What kind of tip was on everyone's hook.  Henry thinks there might be
>> a cap on mine, but I can not get it off.  Mine has a rubbery texture
>> and I do not want to break it.  Thinking of digging out my latch hook
>> and see if it works better than using my fingers.
>> Is there a right way to dip, to bring the stitch over the top? I mean,
>> come in from the bottem or in from the top of the stitch.
>> Are the stitches, the small holes and the large holes, the distance
>> between each peg?
>> What colors did you all use.  I started out with royal blue and
>> periwinkle.  I tried a fuzzy navy and now I am just using royal.
>> Most hats I have seen are solid or as Henry said, start with one color
>> for the rim and change to another color for the hat, itself.  What do
>> you, make your scain into 2 balls or use 2 scains of the same color?
>> Bye for now.

>> Hi:
>>
>> Just wanted to say thanks to both Cindy Z. and Henry for a really good
>> class last night.  I wasn't sure looking at my work last night if I
>> liked it, but this morning went back to the loom and have decided I do
>> like what the loom makes.  Its a lot looser than knitting with
>> needles, but the more I work on the tube it seems to even out and the
>> large gaps close up so I do think this will be very cute when its all
>> finished up.  Looking forward to next weeks class and learning more about 
>> these knifty knitter looms!
>>
>> Thanks again Cindy & Henry for sharing your knowledge of the KK's.
