[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Wrong place baby socks

Mon Feb 1 22:48:17 UTC 2021

Ericka,
Welcome!
We do have a Needle Knitting class and a Loom Knitting class if you are interested in participating in them.

We also have a Beginner Crochet class for folks that want to get started crocheting.  The Advanced Crochet class teaches us the advanced crochet stitches so we can incorporate them into projects.  If you would be interested in making a pair of leather Moccasins, we have a class coming up in March.  You can check out our class schedule at krafterskorner.org.

Hope this helps!  If you have more questions, please ask.
Take care!
Tammy

Well hello! I think I’d like to make a blanket or prayer shawl. I have worked on and off with seniors in different capacities for years and having some thing pretty always brightens up their day. I only have round looms right now and I am attempting to make a scarf on knitting needles. I haven’t perfected so I’ve taken the scarf apart like 15 times trying to make sure that the sides stay together. I could use any knitting advice anyone could give me actually. And if anyone has an expert advice on how to keep A three-year-old male cat from playing with your yarn while unit that would be appreciated. If it’s sitting in a ball in a basket he doesn’t give two hoots. Is when you leave a piece on the floor or even consider picking up knitting that he gets antsy. He’s a cuddle bug which doesn’t help.

Sorry this wasn’t formulated to show I actually have writing skills. I’m trying to dictate while a friend of  kitchen  installs cabinets in  our kitchen. I’m willing to learn other craft work. I need to keep my hands busy so I don’t bite my nails. What are some things other people do? I would like to do ceramics, make soap And Basque a tree. Where do you get these kids or how do you start? Where do you find the directions so that they are in accessible format. I don’t want to call a IRA all the time. I have a zillion questions actually but don’t know how to Express them in words. What do other people do on this list?

>>> Hi,
>>> Authentic knitting board has a loom that is great for making baby socks! It comes in there baby loom set and it is a 24 peg loom that is a three eights inch gauge. You could also use the flexee loom also made by authentic knitting board that way you would be able to adjust the size of the sock. With these two specific looms I would use a worsted weight yarn.

It turned out very big and puffy.  What gauge of yarn should I use and should I have used the loom with the pegs close together?
