We're glad to hear that you're ...Hi Steph!<br /><br />We're glad to hear that you're going to be making tiny pom pom snowmen for Christmas - what a fab idea! We'd love to see them once you've mastered them :D<br /><br />Ok, so when you wrap the wool around the fork, you want to loop the wool around the two outside spokes of the fork. As you can see from the picture shown, the wool will sit over the other prongs of the fork, but NOT twist round them or in between them or anything. (So, if we were to hold the wool in this position and remove it from the fork, we'd have a simple circle of wool.) It's only when wrapping the piece of wool to hold all the threads together you need to work between the middle prongs. <br /><br />As for how to keep the wool straight around the fork, you should be wrapping the wool around it reasonably tightly (it should not be baggy or too loose at any point), and wrap it over and over in a straight line. Should it go a wee bit squint, you can just gently straighten it as you go along. If your pom pom is coming out with some strands of wool longer than others, you just trim them to match. Easy :)<br /><br />I hope that helps!<br /><br />Good luck!Vividhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785568983601858210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150280865932893149.post-49225892229805075842012-11-14T23:40:25.689+00:002012-11-14T23:40:25.689+00:00I am struggling a bit with this but determined to ...I am struggling a bit with this but determined to stick with it as I have been trying to make baby pom poms for ages (plan to make mini snowmen for xmas present decorations)!

Give your other threads a good ruffle too; sometime the type of wool doesn't allow them to 'flop' nicely.

I'm not sure I understand your question... you need to wrap the piece of string around all of the bunched up wool so it will all pull in when you tie the knot. Does that make sence? So, wrap all your wool around the fork, thread the string around all of it so it is all held together in the center, then tie a knot so it is all held in tightly. There should be no bits missed out if that makes sense.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Vividhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785568983601858210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150280865932893149.post-60725660844767564912012-10-18T04:58:56.323+01:002012-10-18T04:58:56.323+01:00I'm "duh", I know, but do you tie th...I'm "duh", I know, but do you tie the string around ALL the yarn on both sides of the fork, or just around the part on one side of the fork? :^\Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150280865932893149.post-34601707006280008472012-10-14T09:03:29.815+01:002012-10-14T09:03:29.815+01:00No problem :D You are very welcome!No problem :D You are very welcome!Vividhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785568983601858210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150280865932893149.post-47934014489827787452012-10-12T15:37:02.571+01:002012-10-12T15:37:02.571+01:00Thanks for sharing, this is great!Thanks for sharing, this is great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
