[Nfb-krafters-korner] Terrence and knitting looms

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Terry,
There are numerous stitches you can do with the loom.  There is the standard stitch where you wrap twice and take the bottom loop over the top. There is another stitch where you wrap three loops on each peg and take the bottom two over the top etc.  I just read the other day how to do the purl stitch.

Terence;
	sHow did you get a copy of the directions.  If you have a computer copy, can you send me a copy, please.  I have the recordings, but do not really understand it.  Looking forward to trying.  Do you find it easier than knitting?  Is there just one stitch you can do with this loom?

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...
