[Nfb-krafters-korner] Question about loom knit

[Terrence van Ettinger]

Hi, Barb and Annette,
If you think about the number of that "stitch one "changing each time you move it, then yes, there is a stitch 10; it is what used to be stitch one. If you think of the pegs never changing numbers, then the stitch 10 makes sense.
