[Nfb-krafters-korner] Using the long looms-Terry K

[Terry Knox]

Barb,
When Henry taught the class he taugh us to use both sets of pegs. The wrap
was figure 8, which described the way each peg was wrapped, from bottom peg,
wrapped to right of top peg and around and down to the next bottom peg,
making a figure design, then doing this wrap to the end and then wrapping
back, making the double knit. I believe he will teach this method again.
Since I am in SC, I really have no need for winter scarves, so I extended
the flat panel of the loom to make the flat baby blanket. The difference is
when you loom on the rectangle loom it makes a flat pattern as compared to
the round looms where you have to skip pegs to make flat panel. Hope I made
this a little clearer, I am not experienced with the looms but enjoyed the
rectangle loom more than the round loom, and I had an easier time on the
larger loom then the smaller, but that is just me. I think Henry will teach
a wonderful class as he is a good teacher and makes it understandable.

Hi Terry, I've used the long loom once so far, made a figure 8 wrapped
double knit neck scarf, meaning I used both sides of the loom, it's been
awhile so would have to go back and refresh.
I'm not understanding what you mean when you said "figure 8 wrap and 40 rows
of flat panel wrap", did you use both sides of the loom or just one? What do
you mean by flat panel wrap?
Barb
