[Nfb-krafters-korner] Magic Loop

[Dixie]

Nope, I doubt I am stronger, and I am positive I am not a better knitter.  I
just need not to get myself all uptight when I do my knitting.  Relaxation
techniques seem to help!  Now if I could knit in a hot tub that would be
very relaxing!

You're welcome.  Glad again that the explanation made sense.  As for the 
helmet liners, I used magic loop on all of mine right from the beginning 
section of the neck band, to the main part & crown of the head section and 
then again on the face ribbing.  never had to worry about what length cord, 
it worked right down to the very last 6 or 7 stitches and fastening them 
off.

Although, if I were just learning this technique, I don't think I'd have a 
glass of wine and then sit down with it.  Like when tired stay away from 
knitting, when drinking any beverage with alcohol stay away from the yarn 
and needles! <SMILE> You must be a much better knitter than I am or just a 
stronger person...
