Melissa,
The figure eight shape is similar to how the number eight looks. The number
eight is two circles joined vertically, one on top and one on the bottom.
The figure eight is sort of the same, except it's not really two perfect
circles connected, more like tear-dropped shapes.
So when you do the stitch on the long loom, how it looks to a sighted person
is a circle on the top peg and a circle on the bottom peg and the yarn
crosses each other between the top and bottom pegs. The shape is a little
difficult to understand, but I hope this helps a little.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their
dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
