[Nfb-krafters-korner] Fairy cowl

Thanks for a great class.  I think someone said this in class, but I would use the U stitch instead of the flat knit.  This will make your stitches looser and still give the same effect.  

Instead of laying the yarn flat against the peg, make a U shape around the peg, before knitting off.  This gives more slack in each stitch.

Thank you all so much for the kind words. I try to make my classes fun & sometimes that leads to entertaining. As far as folks jumping in to offer help, I don't mind as long as it is not confusing to the other students.
