Catherine,

The looms must be "round" not "long." it is possible to make round items on
a long loom, but it isn't as easy as making them on a round loom. There is a
gap between the sides and the end pegs which creates an unsightly gap in
your knitting. Also your peg counts are different on the long looms. So do
keep this in mind. If you did by chance get the long looms, you can use them
for other projects such as flat items like scarves, blanket panels and also
double knitted items. I am using one to make a hand towel at the moment. For
the "just go round" email class either a round or long loom will work.
