[Nfb-krafters-korner] another looming question please help me

[Lisamaria Martinez]

Hi!

I don't know if I understand precisely what you are doing, but I
think, not sure here, you are wrapping in one direction and then
knitting off in the opposite direction and never doing anything to
connect your last peg and your first peg? Maybe?

I use to tie a slip knot onto my anchor peg and I had some crazy funky
things happen to my pieces--I cannot even begin to explain in an
email. I now put my slip knot on peg one and knit off when the time
comes. Try wrapping and knitting in the same direction.
