[Nfb-krafters-korner] nifty knitter hat

[AUDREY WELLNER]

Cindy, 
   Oh that's right, I'm sorry Cindy, it was Kristine Lewis. Yes, we don't hear from her too often anymore. She really made the advance stitches look simple.  Maybe we can hear from some other advanced Knifty Knitter members to take up the reins. 
  Yes, members you see--subject line matters. There could be some important tips that you are missing because they are listed under the wrong subject matter. If you want to be able to find these tips and have them work for you they have to be listed under the correct subject.  Thanks Cindy. 
   Audrey Wellner, Secretary

AS for the loom stitches, that is definitely not me. I tried using an
infinity Loom for an afghan and while I had no problem with the stitches, I
hated working on the loom. Two years later I have finally pulled it off the
loom and once I rework the pattern for flat knitting, I will start it again
(basically, after I finish the Knit Pineapple Afghan).

I do remember the person that did cables and other stitches on a loom but I
don't remember her name. Also, I don't think she is currently on the list or
at least not active in posting because she became too busy. Hopefully,
someone will remember who I am talking about or be able to help.

Also, thank you Audrey for mentioning the subject change. I would have been
interested in those sewing tips but I deleted the thread because it dealt
with children (of which I do not have any interactions any more) and I am
terribly behind on a couple of other lists because this one is a priority
for me.
