[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom knitting questions

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

When working in the round, it does not matter which direction you work.  The item is round so the patern continuously repeats itself.  If you knit, purl, to the left or right, you will still get a ribbed effect. If you e-wrap either direction, you will get the same effect.  It can matter on a flat item, whether you work left to right or right to left.  You need to start in the location, recommended in the patern, to get the correct effect.  Flat items are done from left to right and then right to left, or they might start at the right, first.
I am talking of a flat item on a round or ovle  loom, not a rake loom.

That's enough for that class and I am not even the teacher!

HI there. Okay, maybe this is from teaching myself, but I have done a little loom knitting now and have been going clockwise. I read in a book that you should go counter clockwise. i find this awkward is there a way to convert patterns if I stay with clockwise?
Thanks.
Lovette
