[Nfb-krafters-korner] What is nifty knitter

[Carol Osmar]

A little warning about gluing the pegs.  I also had one with 
loose pegs.  My darling husband glued them in for me, however, he 
was not aware of the vertical grooves in one side of the pegs 
that the tool slides in and he glued some so the groove is not in 
the right place.  Not a big problem, but it would be better if I 
had told him about the grooves.

Neva,
You can glue in the pegs if you want.  I had one that did that 
and I thought it was just a mistake that just needed more glue.  
I agree, it is a pain when they come out and you are working.

My daughter and I both use knitting looms but the style she 
bought is a
little different than mine.  The pegs pull out of the frame on 
hers, and
although this might be helpful when removing a project, it is not 
very fun
when pegs come loose in the middle of a project.  I have also 
read that some
of the pegs on some looms are more flexible than others and I can 
see how
this might be nice if you wrap a bit too tight sometimes.  The 
looms I ended
up with by chance are rigid and the pegs do not come out and the 
only thing
I have found that I like better than my original is the new pick 
I found.  My
first one was molded plastic and the new ones I have found have 
metal picks
with rubberized foam handles.  They are easier to grip and the 
metal seems to
snag on the yarn less than the molded plastic one did.  I look 
forward to
future classes where I can learn to do more than hats and 
scarves.  Please,
if you are a teacher, organize a class! I'll sign up.

A Nifty Knitter is an awesome method of knitting using a loom 
instead of
needles.  There are a couple of different varieties.  There is a 
round variety
with pegs arranged around a large circle, a long narrow one with 
pegs
running down either side, and I think there's one more that I'm 
blanking on.
You wrap your yarn around the pegs in different patterns to form 
the
stitches.  I would recommend starting with the round loom to get 
thehangof
it.

 Just wondered what this was, and what it didn.  I'm trying to 
find a way to
learn to knit.
