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

Fri Nov 5 14:04:05 UTC 2010

My success!
Sure glad I got that rubbery thing off my hook.  Things sure work better!  I got a lot done, yesterday, home trying to get over a cold.  It sure is easier to correct errors on the loom than a regular knitting needle.  I sure will be glad to finish this project, so I can try double stranded again.  I have to use the same color I am using now.  It is so much easier with the hook working correctly.  
I used a paper clip to secure my work, while not in use.
When do we weave in the tail.  I am noticing a curving of my work and a pulling on the tail, because it is still tied on the hook on the edge.  I am all ready for Tuesday!

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

>> 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.
