[NFB-Krafters-Korner] 1 question, 1 clarification

Bernice and Deborah;

Round and flat pieces can be made on a round loom.
For a round item, knit around, continuously.
For a flat piece, knit from left to right, then from right to left.  If you
are a lefty, knit right to left and then  left to right.
The direction does not matter, as long as you are consistent!
There is a fancy way of turning, at the end of your rows.  Let Terri N know
you need to learn this method.  I do not want to take over class!

I also would like to know how to make a flat piece on the loom.

Greetings all you crafters, 

First, before my question and clarification, I want to offer an endorsement:

I made my first Krafters Korner purchase last week, buying two seam ripper
necklaces from Ray Wright. A quilting-sewing-knitting friend had a birthday
coming up, so the time seemed right. It is GORGEOUS! She was thrilled with
her present, and a few other people I showed it to were also dazzled. Just
thought I'd share that good news. 

Now, here's my question: 

I went to the beginner loom knitting class and learned to e-wrap, knit off,
and purl. So I just kept doing those rows for practice (well, just e-wrap
and knit off), and figure I can maybe turn that practice piece into a little
baby hat.  This loom knitting appeals to me as super easy, relaxing, fun -
and fast! So, here's my beginner person question: How do you make a square
rather than a round? I'm guessing you just go clockwise one row, then
counter clockwise next row, but guessing will not produce lovely results!

Much better to get an answer from experts!

Finally, here's my clarification. I am Deborah Kendrick, and I am not Debbie
K. Another lovely krafter among us is Debbie K, whom I do not yet have the
pleasure of meeting, but I wanted to be sure everyone knew that she and I
are not the same person. 

The confusion over "resent" and "re-sent" prompted me to speak up, but
honestly, I gently encourage everyone who dictates to read your messages
before sending. There can be some pretty odd misinterpretations by our
favorite voice assistants.  

As for me, my mistakes are all my own-being an old school typing person!

Hope someone can answer my loom question!

Peace,

Deborah
