[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Teaching Needle Knitting at Upcoming Convention

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Hi Lisa;

When will you be arriving?

If no one else steps up to the plate, I can get you started!

I would start with size 11  in US sizes or close to that.

You want a yarn that does not split easily.  Bernet soft and chuncky or serenity or woolies thick and quick, would be fine.

What ever you do, do not get Home town for your first time.  It can split, easily!

I find metal needles easier to use, because the stitches slide easily and for a beginner, you might be knitting tight.

Here are my 2 e-mails for anyone interested.
I do not claim to be the best, but what I know, came from one of the best, Dixie!

Terry.powers at nih.gov  until 1:00 Wednesday

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone will be at convention who is willing to teach me and a friend how to needle knit. We're happy to treat you to a meal in exchange.

If this is of interest please email me directly at lisamaria0217 at gmail.com or text/call me at 510-289-2577. We can set up a time.

Also, can you suggest what type of knitting needles we should bring for beginners?

Thanks so much.

Best,
LM
