[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom knit mittens class now available forsign up!

[debbie ralston]

Hi Cathy,
I have signed up for this class. I cannot find my in the attic loom. I do 
not have the oval loom from Cindy Wood. I have a bunch of her round 1/2 
looms. I can fit my hand threw the 25 peg loom real easy & come out it. 
Would this be too big on my hand? How many rows would I need to knit on this 
loom to figure out if it will work or not? I was planning to use this loom 
for my placemat class.
Debbie

Hello loomers,



Please join me in a phone class to learn how to make a pair of mittens on 
the loom. True, it is a
bit late to wear them this winter, but you can always start your holiday 
gift making early. Of
course if you live in Australia   autumn will be coming soon!

this particular pattern is nice because you do not make the thumb separately 
and thus do not need a
thumb loom, or need to sew on a thumb. I have tried this pattern with an 18 
peg in the attic loom,
and now am trying it with a 5/8 gauge or ½ gauge cindywood oval combo loom 
using 22 pegs. the
cindywood 25 or 27 ½ gauge round loom is another option, though I have not 
tried this loom myself.
I did try the 24-peg KK round loom but the mittens were far too large!



If you are planning to use the in the attic loom, use super bulky weight 
yarn or two strands of
worsted weight. If you are using the 5/8 or ½ inch gauge oval panel loom or 
½ inch 25 or 27 peg
round loom, then one strand of bulky weight will work nicely.



Hope to see you in class soon.
