[Nfb-krafters-korner] Joyce #2 question on looming for today...

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

How does the loom compare with the plastic mitten set, in size.  If they are the same size, around, the number of stitches should not matter, much.  It is the sircumference of the loom that matters.  If your 15 peg loom is bigger than your 10 peg loom, then you will get a larger thumb, but if they are the same size, both thumbs, should be the same size.  The stitches on the 15 peg loom will be closer, together.  Hope this all makes sence.  
It is just putting a bit of logic to work.

Terry P.

Joyce,
If you are asking if you are knitting and say in row 1 you skip peg 3, peg 5, peg 8 and so on the first time around, then on row 2 skip peg 4, peg 7, peg 9 then this would not work because it would make a hole in your project.  Even if you went back to skipping the same pegs in row 3 as you did in row 1, it would make the project bind up and not lay nicely I would think.

Did you buy a Martha Steward loom set?  Make the 20 peg loom.

I know this is going to create my problem over, but here goes...
 
I have a loom that is 1/2" spacing with 30 Pegs and a [thumb loom] same spacing with 15 pegs.  Now I really want this spacing, but I want to use on the larger loom  only 20 Pegs and with the thumb only 10 pegs.  Yep so  if I 
skip the  third peg on each of the looms I get the peg  count.    How do I 
not get  uneven stitches?  Will it  relax back if I skip different pegs???  
 
I am really going to try to work with what I have, but I am talking with Cindy Woods Crafts to see if she will make up a loom with the peg count and spacing I want and well... First of the year...
