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

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Tonya;
Your edging sounds interesting.  Maybe I will try it next time, if there is ever one.  With so much else going on, I have not gotten back to finishing my pretty red scarf!  Maybe I can find some of that thick yarn to make a matching hat, to give or keep for myself.
I wish someone would write a book, on the kk loom.  To all you new folks with the loom, there are many stitches and different paterns of stitches that you can use.  Just, how do you remember it all?

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.

Good morning Tanya,

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