LET'S MAKE A KNITTING BOARD
There have been many people ask, "How do you make a Knitting Board?" Well, at one time I was one of those people. A friend of my wife, Patty, works at Hobby Lobby and one day a man walked in wanting some yarn. He was carrying this funny looking contraption so she asked him what it was. He told her it was a Knitting Board. So, later she described it to Patty and asked if I could/would make her one. Her birthday was two weeks away so we decided to make one for her birthday present.
All I had was a verbal description, 20" long with nails 1/2" apart and a 1" hole (gap) in the middle. So I felt compelled to go surfin' and see what I could find out about these things. I found a "Group" on Yahoo, won't mention any names, so I joined so I could ask about the board. You would have thought I had the plague! I understand loom (board) makers not wanting to share their secrets so just from the pictures I saw at various sites I came up with what has turned out to be a pretty nice board.
