[Nfb-krafters-korner] KK long loom, how to wrap?

[Tanya Wheatley]

Good morning, Ohio.

Wrap the rows first that you are comfortable with. Whichever row you decide 
to wrap first will be the odd numbered pegs. For me, it is more comfortable 
to work from left to right and for the top row to be my first wrapped peg.

And I forgot to mention last night, the cast on edge for this stitch is very 
loose and I do not like it. But there is a way to tighten up the cast on 
without having to crochet it when you are done. The cast on is called the 
Lucet cast on. To do this cast on, wrap the first peg on both top and bottom 
then wrap it again and knit the bottom loop over the top loop. Now grab the 
working yarn and pull until the stitches on the pegs tighten up but can 
still slide up and down the pegs without a fight. Now move to the second peg 
on both top and bottom and repeat the process. Do this for all pegs you wish 
to use for your project. This makes a nice even edge to your project.

Tanya

Good morning Tanya,

So, are the instructions telling me to first wrap the top row of pegs, then
wrap the bottom row of pegs?
