[Nfb-krafters-korner] Terrence and knitting looms

[Susan Roe]

Good, you know we're here for you and your crafting do's and don'ts!  LOL
Which hat pattern are you working with?  The simple ones my sister and I 
have done on the circulars are just the basic stitch, a folded band to start 
with and then just gather the end loops together on your yarn needle and 
draw the top closed and stitch it together.  We then put a pom-pom on top or 
a big button.
