[Nfb-krafters-korner] Making A Weighted Blanket

[Henry Osborne]

Hi Daniella, I too encourage you to sign up for my Basic Loom Knitted Scarf 
class that Courtney just mentioned. I will give very descriptive directions 
on the stitches, and Terry P and Courtney will be there to assist me if 
necessary.
If you haven't become a paid member yet, then you can take my class as your 
Free Trial class.
Henry Loom Team Member and Instructor

Daniella,

Let me encourage you to sign up for our next loom knit class that will be 
held on Tuesday, November 28 & December 5.  In our classes, you will get 
detailed instructions on how to complete stitches & the benefit of talking 
with the instructor.

Unfortunately, due to copyright laws, we cannot give out specific directions 
on the list.

Again, please consider signing up for our loom knit class & becoming a 
member of Krafters Korner.

Hello all,
I am sorry for asking so many questions about a weighted blanket. I was 
wondering, how can I make little pockets to put the weighted glass beeds I 
found in? I am not sure how to do this, I have a loom that has pieces that 
you can snap together, a rectangular loom, and four circle looms of 
different sizes. I am not experienced, so super descriptive instructions and 
simple stitches would be awesome! Also, if this works, would anyone be 
interested in me making a video on how to make a weighted blanket?
Thank you all again
Daniella

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your help. I am new to looming, what is the wrip stitch? How 
do I make a double sided pannel? I do not have a website for looming 
instructions, but ifyou google how to make a weighted blanket, sewing 
instructions, will come up. A weighted blanket is anywhere from 5-20 pounds, 
and it's used for people with anxiety to help calm them down. They also have 
weighted vests. I know this is off topic, but how do I find out information 
about the 2018 NFB convention?

Hello all,
I have just started subscribing to this list, so I am not sure how this 
works. If this is not the right place for my question, sorry about that.
                I have just started looming, and so far I really like it. I 
wanted to make a weighted blanket, but the only things I can find on the 
internet are things you need to sew, and I don’t know how to do that. Does 
anyone know if I could loom tight enough stitches so that stuff wouldn’t 
fall out of it? I am thinking of using glass gems that you can buy from like 
Walmart, or the dollar store, or Polly Pellets like the internet suggests, 
if they are not too expensive. Does anyone know what else I could use as 
well?
                Thank you all for your help!

Daniella
