[Nfb-krafters-korner] question about looming measurements

The closer the pegs the tighter the knit and the closer your rows will be.  
All large gage looms are not the same distance apart.  Ask Cathy for the loom description she has or check the arcives, sent not long ago.

Give me a call;

I have a Martha loom.
Ready to catch my ride.
Hope my first line can explain.

Okay, I'm sure this has been talked about before, but with looming, you've got your looms with a large gauge and a small gauge. Are all looms a standard width apart for both small and large gauge. In other words, are all large gauge looms one half inch apart and all small gauge another standard measurement apart?

My next question : How can you determine the length of a project on a loom. If you cast on 10 pegs on a large one half inch gauge loom, does that mean your piece is 5 inches long?

Next: are small gauge projects more stretchier than a large gauge project?

Anyone familiar with Martha Stewart's loom kit? I'm trying to figure out a way to create a project that has somewhere between 24 and 31 pegs, like maybe 28. Can you make a loom with the MS kit or does a loom exist?

Lastly, if you make a project on a square loom or a rectangular shaped loom, will the project turn out round?

Lots of questions, but I know someone on this list has the answer.
