[Nfb-krafters-korner] April loom knit class unvaled

[sunshine]

Hi, Kathy!

I will do as you suggested. I will keep which message! I will also need to get a hook as well, right? I'm gonna see what I can find first! I can't wait to get help. I now just have to figure out how to pay because I can't get to the semond page to pay my dues on my net book nor my note taker. I want to pay as quickly as possible! So I'll have to get someone to help me! At least if you or someone could get me started knitting and pearling that would make me happy. I've wanted to learn looming for years. I remembered after our knitting class that I had used a loom as a child, but don't remember a thing about it. I appreciate the kindness people have shown on this list and I'm glad to be hear! I will take Henry's beginner class on looming as well! I'll let you know when I get my stuff and whomever is interested in working with me, I'd appreciate it!

Hugs

I suggest a round loom. the loom looks like a flat ring with pegs sticking up. you can purchase them from Walmart, Michaels, Joann's or many places online. as for yarn, with these particular looms I am describing you should begin by using the thickest yarn which is 6-ply. many folks like the various Lion Brand yarns that come in this thickness. the thick and quick is particularly easy to work with because it stretches. like when you first learn to needle knit, stitches are usually too tight in the beginning.
