[Nfb-krafters-korner] loomed mittens

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

What is the difference between the thick and quick and the chunky?  Henry and I were both wondering about it.  Does it feal sort of like home spun yarn but thicker?

Hi all,

I have finished my homework on my mitten. I used wool ease chunky, a category 5 yarn and the mitten is looking great. I chose the chunky as opposed to the T and Q recommended because I do not like my mittens to be too thick so that I can easily grab and hold my dog's harness handle.  
I'll be looking forward to the first class.

Cathy

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.
