[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knifty Knitter Basics for Round Loom

Tue Mar 15 20:38:28 UTC 2011

We already had 2 basic beginners class with the Nifty Knitter.  One  was in 
the fall I think in November or October and the other was in January of  
this year.

Did I  miss the basic class for the knifty knitter?  I found the one
that my  friend lent me and I'd like to try it before I give it back.
She tried  explaining it to me but I got all confused.  The same thing
happened  when I tried to learn crochet at the Diamond Spring Lodge
(headquarters of  the New Jersey Foundation for the Blind).  Everyone
was already making  cool things and I got as far as the chain stitch.
I've had no experience  with knitting so am wondering what the
difference is between that and  weaving and/or sewing. I haven't sewn
either, though I have used the  cardboard looms discussed here earlier
and a table top model.  So is  this Knifty Knitter anything like
weaving because I'm fairly decent at  that.  Also, is it too late to
sign up for  classes?

Thanks,
Eleni
