I would feal safer getting another set.  They are not that much and I would not want glue to get on my project.

A little warning about gluing the pegs.  I also had one with loose pegs.  My darling husband glued them in for me, however, he was not aware of the vertical grooves in one side of the pegs that the tool slides in and he glued some so the groove is not in the right place.  Not a big problem, but it would be better if I had told him about the grooves.

Neva,
You can glue in the pegs if you want.  I had one that did that and I thought it was just a mistake that just needed more glue.  
I agree, it is a pain when they come out and you are working.

My daughter and I both use knitting looms but the style she bought is a little different than mine.  The pegs pull out of the frame on hers, and although this might be helpful when removing a project, it is not very fun when pegs come loose in the middle of a project.  I have also read that some of the pegs on some looms are more flexible than others and I can see how this might be nice if you wrap a bit too tight sometimes.  The looms I ended up with by chance are rigid and the pegs do not come out and the only thing I have found that I like better than my original is the new pick I found.  My first one was molded plastic and the new ones I have found have metal picks with rubberized foam handles.  They are easier to grip and the metal seems to snag on the yarn less than the molded plastic one did.  I look forward to future classes where I can learn to do more than hats and scarves.  Please, if you are a teacher, organize a class! I'll sign up.

A Nifty Knitter is an awesome method of knitting using a loom instead of needles.  There are a couple of different varieties.  There is a round variety with pegs arranged around a large circle, a long narrow one with pegs running down either side, and I think there's one more that I'm blanking on.
You wrap your yarn around the pegs in different patterns to form the stitches.  I would recommend starting with the round loom to get thehangof it.

 Just wondered what this was, and what it didn.  I'm trying to find a way to learn to knit.
