[Nfb-krafters-korner] loomed mittens

I don't know what homespun feels like.  But it is thicker then the  wool 
ease chunky.

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.
