[Nfb-krafters-korner] Terrence and knitting looms

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Terrence,
Yes, you can make scarves, belts and even afghans.  You just go back and forth without completing the circle.  Just decide how wide you want your project and go back and forth.  The peg where you turn is only wrapped every other time if I am remembering correctly.  If making an afghan, you will make several large panels and then connect them together.

Good Luck
Cindy Z.

True.  '-)  And, yahoo!  Now I have a little blue baby hat.  '-)  I decided to start small since I was experimenting.  Now I need to find my bulkier yarn so I can start on *my* hat.  '-)  Someone, though, was telling me at Michael's that you can make scarves on these things, too.  How do you do that?  Or do you make those like the hat but just don't close 'em up?  That seems to me that it would be called something else though...
