[Nfb-krafters-korner] Loom "knit-off" questions

[Catherine jacobse]

Debbie,
one tip for knitting off is to start at the end where the working yarn is and work  back to the beginning. That seems to make the difference for me.  If still very tight then you may need to e wrap looser.

Does this mean using two balls of yarn and holding two strands together and wrapping that way, or does it mean wrapping around more than once to double-strand a wrap? Isn't it confusing if you have more than one strand if you lift the bottom strand up and over the wraps -- I mean remembering how many strands a wrap contains?
