[Nfb-krafters-korner] Loom knit patterns

[Cathy]

Hi Tanya,

My notes from that chat have a loom called small gauge and another called
fine gauge and it seems that these both have pegs 1/4 inch apart and one
strand of WW yarn is recommended. So are these different names for the same
kind of loom? Then I see the extra fine gauge is 3/8 inch and sock yarn is
recommended, so I just didn't check my notes, relied on my unreliable
memory.

Need to get my facts straight here and get a memory booster as well.

Thanks, Cathy

Hi Cathy,

Extra small gauge is 3/8 inch between pegs and fine gauge is 1/4 inch 
between pegs. The extra small and fine gauges both work well with WW yarns. 
The extra fine gauge is for sock weight yarns. The confusion is probably my 
fault. Even though it is right in my head, my mouth sometimes says what it 
wants to!

Tanya,

Extra small is larger than fine gauge?  Word-wise that does not make sense.
Glad you set me straight. Terry, sorry for not having my fact straight.
Now Tanya, which loom is for the worsted weight yarn?

Cathy
