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

Fri Nov 5 14:56:18 UTC 2010

Terry,
Unhook that tail and let it drop down through the inside of the loom.  It will be fine.  You will knit in the tail when you are totally done with the hat.

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

>> What kind of tip was on everyone's hook.  Henry thinks there might be

>> 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.
