Great job! Like Greg,I too am proud of you. I just might hand over the reins 
to you and let you teach my class on Thursday and I'll take the day and 
night off. Lol.

Hi,

This morning we had the second of six weeks' classes through my church,
called "knit together." I had a crochet project to work on, but I really
wanted to find out how to knit on one of the new looms I just bought. So one
of my friends began instructing me on the figure 8 thing. I didn't
understand it at all. But then, suddenly, I was doing it! Yea! So now when I
take Henry's class, I will have had a little practice.



It is interesting, just in that small group, how people learn differently.
At first, my friend was doing the wrapping but when I put my fingers on what
she was doing, she couldn't see where I needed to work, or what I was doing.
So then I had her verbally instruct me so that I was the one wrapping the
yarn around the pegs. That worked best for me. Some of them learned better
by someone doing some for them, but not me.



I also did not use the tool that comes with the looms. I have trouble
knowing what I am doing unless I use my fingers. To each her/his own, I
guess.



I do feel better now that I was able to zigzag. Then pulling the lower loop
over the top one I already knew from making a hat using my round loom.

Thanks,

Lauren
