Loom extender projects
Here are a few ideas using the loom extender. The wall hanging was created by our Knitting Board group moderator Sue Kreitzer, this was her fist loom extender project. Margaret Conroy did the beautiful striped pieces. Both of you, nice work.

Introducing……
Gather around, everyone, and meet SueK, our moderator. She has been doing a great job answering questions, providing instruction, sharing her secrets and techniques, and welcoming all new knitters. We would like to say,
” Thank you, Sue, for all your hard work and support, and for sharing some of your designs and projects with us”.
Get to know Sue….
I am a retired Administrator assistant; 67 (pushing 68!). Married for 23 years, 1 son and 5 stepchildren. We have 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Have lived in Denton TX for 25 years. I enjoy all crafts, hand knitting, crocheting, needlepoint. My two favorites are Knitting Board and Cross Stitch. I started using the Knitting Board about 6 years ago when my husband saw one at the Senior Center, came home and made me one. Only stitch I knew was figure 8. Went on vacation, and made a baby blanket (all figure 8). When we got home, I saw the AKB DVD in Mary Maxim catalogue, ordered it, and learned all the stitches and haven’t stopped since then. First items I made when I received my first book were sweaters for my two younger sisters. I enjoy spreading the word about the knitting board to anyone who will listen. I enjoy traveling and teaching people what I can on the board.
Sue has also participated with some of our classes held at the Hobby Lobby Store in her area. This is when we met Sue, face to face, for the first time. She is a very special lady.

Dear Pat and Kim,
I am a dear fan of the KnittingBoard and had a beautiful double knit scarf going for my husband, but was having too much trouble seeing the dark yarn on the dark finish of the knitting board… oh, well. Anyway, I have noticed that as I am getting older, my eyesight is not what it used to be and I purchased an Ott Light to help me in my work. It does help. I know not everyone can afford these lights. Thus, I am sending an idea about possibly changing the wood color to a neutral or even a lighter color. This is just an idea to ponder. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Many blessings to you both!
Mrs. Jolene Torgler -

Fun time at Lion Brand Studio
October 14th we visited the Lion Brand Studio in New York City to present the Knitting Board and show what it can create. It was lots of fun !! So many customers came in with the impression that you can only make potholders and simple scarves on Knitting Boards. We showed them all kinds of stitches and brought 2 giant suitcases of knitwear. They were really surprised about all that you can create.
Criss Cross
Stitch…..a favorite stitch with so much texture!

Makes me wish I lived in New York. I’d love to attend something like this. Is there any chance you could sell a DVD showing how to make the lovely coat featured in this post? Please, please please?

Is there somewhere that we can all see the entries for the contest? Or are they posted somewhere but I am just not seeing it?
Congratulations to the winners! And thanks Pat & Kim for having such a contest. :-)
Does anyone know if there is a beginner Knittingboard class/group in NH or MA?
There are some typos in a couple of these links and so they do not work.
I will go fix those right away. Thank you,
Kim
I am clicking on the cabled afghan link in the above article and the link is broken…. I am sad…. Where can I find the instructions for this blanket??
