[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: Nifty Knitter Advice?

Wed Feb 20 17:55:25 UTC 2013

Susan;
When I knit off peg Z, my loop will end up on peg Y.  My concern is how am I going to connect the gap between Y and peg 2?  I am trying to cast off a tube scarf and keep the ends open.  

Any idea about how big an average cowl shoud be?  What size circular needles do I need.  I tried and as you can guess, was using needles, to large.  I got some Jublee but am having trouble handling it on the loom, so want to try it on large needles.  

Thanks for any help.
A lot of ideas, but missing one step to make them all work!!!

Terry P.

Terry, now if I had read all the way through my new e-mails, I would have been able to tell you that those were not my directions and that you were meaning for the loom and not a pair of circular needles or dp needles.  LOL

If you work on your loom as though you count your pegs going off to the left, 1, 2, and three, then the directions you provided from Cindy are perfect.  If you wrap your pegs going to the right like I do, then the directions are just written a bit different.

When you bind off, you need to skip the first peg to the right of your anker peg and wrap the second peg over to your right only.  Knit this peg off by placing the bottom loop up and over the top loop.  Now you should have one 
loop on the 2nd peg.   Move that loop backwards to the left over to the 1st 
peg that already has one loop on it.  Knit that off.  Now you should have one loop remaining on the 1st peg and nothing on the 2nd peg.  Move the loop from first peg back over to the second peg #2.  You should have no loops on the first peg and one loop on the second peg.  Continue on in this fashion. 
Wrap peg #3 and knit off.  Place the remaining loop over to the left on peg #2.  Knit that off.  Move the remaining loop back over to peg #3.  Keep repeating until finished.

Now if I haven't totally confused you, this should work until you have only one stitch remaining.  Then I suppose you can draw your working yarn through the loop and fasten it off.
