[Nfb-krafters-korner] knitting board

[Carolyn Ranker]

Hi Terry,
A knitting board is a long or S shaped board with two rows of pegs--either 
wood or nylon, some metal on it.  You wrap the yarn you use around both sets 
of pegs to create a double thickness pannel.

How does one work?  That is something I have never heard of.

Thanks, Carolyn.  I have actually been to those sites tonight and they
have good prices.

Have you used different colors and if so, what are your experiences?
Did you use a wooden or plastic board?

I am leaning more towards the wooden, but I also like the lightness of
the plastic.
