[Nfb-krafters-korner] my loom is working!

Mon Jan 30 18:51:01 UTC 2012

I have learned a lot from Henry and Tonya.  I am now doing a flat knit scarf.  The edges are curved some, but it might be because I am making it on a round loom.  I am making it on the flexie loom.  I love it.  I am using 20 out of 31 pegs!
I also tried a tube scarf, but it was to thick, done with the thick and quick.
My friend likes my scarf and would like to learn how to do it.  
Maybe I will have a sale or someone to give a Christmas gift to.
You can learn a lot when you are home sick with a phone, yarn needles or a loom and hook.
I wasted a lot of yarn, but at least it was on sale!
Looks like I am going to make it through the day.

Many thanks to Henry in helping me out with the loom.  I was  continuing getting these gaps between my stitches and I was unhappy with  it.

Well Henry and I spoke and I told him exactly how I was doing it.  He  told me to work the loops off the pegs going in a counter clockwise  direction.  
[I was going clockwise] and WOW I am working on a mitten and it  is working!!!  Let me dance around once.  OK I am sitting back  down.  The stitches are so much more closer together and I am using the  Thick and Quick yarn and I couldn't stop with my homework so kept going with the  mitten.  I will finish this one and work on the second one for next  week.
