Go for it! Lucille, join them so I can stop worrying about you both every time I hear the word hurricane. (that goes for every one along the Gulf coast too.)
The way I feel this AM, I could be 90! Cheryl
I do this, only wrap the thread around my index finger. Haven't heard about wrapping around thumb AND forefinger.
You are right. You use both the tail and ball. But I assumed she meant which end do you use for actually knitting. I try to use the ball end for wrapping and the tail end for knitting on.

Isn't it interesting how we all do the same thing differently! I wrap around my thumb using the tail, and knit it off using the ball end.
