[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knifty Knitter question

[Susan Roe]

I have never knitted in the round on those looms, either one side or the 
other or you use a figure 8 pattern and actually go back and forth across 
between the pegs.  and your work naturally falls down the center slot.  They 
are also called knitting rakes.
