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

[Lisamaria Martinez]

Hey Joyce,

I use to place my slip knot on the anchor peg and had tons of weird
things happen like knitting off issues on peg one, or yarn getting
tangled, or by forgetting to take the knot off after a few rows,
things got crooked. I started placing my slip knot on peg one and it
has made a huge difference. My projects are straighter, I seem to have
less tangling issues, the world is a happier place now.
