[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom knitting

[Becky Frankeberger]

Wow, I remember how masterfully Henry handled how to make a figure 8 when he
taught the long loom class.

Do you think we can nock on his door and ask him to teach this class again?

My little brain would not would not conceive of a figure eight. It took a
long time to draw the number eight. In fact they wondered if I was dyslexic
because my three's were always backwards. My nine's would look like Q's or
G's.

So please it is alright not to have the concept. Something will just click
and you will get the idea one day.
Warmly,
Becky and Jake

I'm going to ask a question that may sound stupid.  However, I've never seen
printed material before.  Can someone describe the figure 8 that is
mentioned in the patterns for long looms?  I was born totally blind and was
never taught handwriting properly in school  If this is too much traffic for
the list, I understand.  anyone is welcome to write me off list.

to try something on  a long loom.  Can someone send me instructions on
starting a scarf or something using a long one?  I realize there are
upcoming classes on this, but I need a new project to start on.  Write me
off list if you wish.  thanks.
