Hi,
Thanks for all of the help you guys are sending my way. I really appreciate
it. I have been wanting to learn new crafts but so many people are afraid to
try to teach a totally blind person new crafts. So I am sure glad we have
this list and division in the NFB.
Thanks,
Lauren

Lauren,

If you know how to knit a hat on the round loom, it's not that difficult to
adjust it to knit a flat panel. When you cast on for a flat panel, instead
of joining the last stitch to work in the round, you would just work back
and forth the number of pegs you are using for the flat panel. For instance,
if you have a 24 peg loom, you can cast on pegs 1-20, and then work
backwards from pegs 20-1, and then
1-20 again. Hope this helps.

Minh

"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
