[Nfb-krafters-korner] 60 loom class?? where when...

[Lindy van der Merwe]

Hi Becky,
So I am not the only one that have been struggling trying to get into loom
knitting.
It sounds like you have had some success, though, so I hope things will keep
improving!
I'm hoping Henry's class will help me in the right direction.
I love knitting scarves.
Lindy

Cathy I made two hats on the round loom. So heavens nearly broke my finger
trying to get the yarn up and over. Yep, newby and proud of it, smile.
Thanks for the tip. It makes total sense to use a stretchy yarn. 

Keep the tips coming, please, shy smile.

Becky,

With the looms you purchased you will need to either use a bulky or super
bulky weight yarn or work with two strands as one. For a beginner, I
strongly suggest a yarn like Lion brand wool-ease quick and thick. It is a
wool blend and thus stretches and so is best for learning because it can
stretch over the pegs even if they are knitted too tightly. I say this
because the most common problem for newbie loom knitters is to knit too
tightly.
If I can help in any way, please let me know.

Cathy F
