[Nfb-krafters-korner] Fringe Help

Thank you for the binder suggestion. I will definitely keep this in mind.

I missed the chat discussing Pom-poms & fringe making. I was listening to a
knitting podcast a few weeks ago & the host just happened to mention an
easy & quick way to make fringe, so I used that method. As hard as I have
tried, some of my fringe is a little uneven.

This is how I made my fringe:

My husband had cut me a 4"x4" block for another project. I took that block
& wrapped my yarn around that several times, then cut. Voila, I had fringe!

Since the blanket is loom knitted using the double knit, I had a good
starting point on two sides of the blanket. Now, how to get the fringe to
be evenly spaced on the other two sides without pulling out the tape
measure each time??? Then it hit me. Click ruler! With the click ruler I
can measure once, lock down my measurement & I'm all set to place fringe!

Although placing fringe is a tedious task, using this method has made it
fun. Now I want to put fringe on just about everything. Jason & Ranger are
on high alert. Lol

Seriously though, I am considering making a fringed pillow of some sort
soon.
