[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knifty Knitter question

When doing flat knitting on the long/rectangle loom, you do not use the end
pegs to hold loops.  They are for anchoring your yarn while you pick off the
stitches.

Annette:

The looms you have are rectangle looms and that weird peg at each end where
the spacing goes off is called a "turning" peg which I don't think is
actually used when you use the rectangle to knit flat.  Because of the way
that loom gets cast on and the distance from the one row to the other, I
doubt, but am not  positive, that they can be used for circular knitting.
