[Nfb-krafters-korner] Introduction from new knitter

[Brandy W]

I've only made a hat on the circle, and am making a bag for my niece, but
I've read that one can make all kinds of things with the loom knitting. Can
you vary your stitches and stuff with the loom too? All I know how to do is
do the basic wrap, pull it over and row by row it grows. It is fun and
relaxing. As for needle knitting I like it for different reasons, and one
can do so many more things!

Welcome Brandy! '-D I never quite have gotten the hang of needle-knitting,
but I'm a fair hand at the loom myself. It's just so much easier! I kind of
got the basics with the needle--but just feel more comfortable with loom
knitting. You're in a great place here though. You'll find there's a bunch
of people here who know their stuff when it comes to knitting and all manner
of other crafts!

Again, Welcome!
Terrence
