[Nfb-krafters-korner] KK long loom question

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

Brandy;
I think we have said, Henry, in about October will be teaching double rake knitting, which is what you usually use the straight looms for.   I find it a lot easier to flat knit on a round loom, because there is a lot more room to work and your pegs are even, just do not close the circle, like you would do on a hat.  
Give me a call, in the next few days and I can help you get started making a hat.  I would master this consept first before doing flat knitting and advanced stitches.

I only have the KK Brand will the clip in some way help this problem so I wouldn't use that peg? The whole reason for getting the longer loom was so I could panel knit around. Maybe I could act like this is a deliberate stripe down the center of the blanket based on what I do on the edges?

Hi Bran, is it the actual knifter knitter brand loom or one of the craft stores brand?
Yes the long looms have a wider space on the ends and yes it will leave a large gap if you panel knit around it.
The loom clips will only work on the kk brand of looms, not on craft store brand looms.
