[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom knit mitered square scarf class

Wed Mar 20 21:00:26 UTC 2013

In The local stores they sell only the large gauge looms.  You have to  go 
online to find the different gauge looms.  You can get the <Martha  Stewart 
adjustable loom, but don't bother with that at this point and many folks  do 
not like this loom from what I have heard from the looming lists that I am  
on.

The loom  set comes in a pack of 4, the largest has 41 pegs, 36 pegs, 31 
pegs and 24  pegs.  They used to be under the name of knifty knitter, but now 
they are  under another name.  They should be about $12.00, if my memory is  
correct.  Michaels, maybe Walmart and other craft stores should have  them.

So do I ask for large gauge looms  when I go to get them! Does this mean 
the pegs are bigger? Yeah, I'm sure  looms can be expensive, so I'll have to 
check and see what I can come up with.  I know some of my questions may seem 
elementary, but not having ever done loom  knitting per se, I haven't a clue 
about them. Sorry if I'm asking questions  people might thing I should just 
know! Smiles!  

Hugs

sizes, to make, for example, hats  of different sizes.  There are many kinds 
of looms, after you get  started, with different gages or spacings of the 
pegs.  We recommend you  start with the large gage looms, until you get the 
hang of looming.  They  are not expensive, but some of the other looms can 
get a bit pricy.  It  all depends what you want to make.

we  need two round looms? You said we need to get a set of them. I'll keep 
this  message and see what I can come up with as well as the yarn you 
suggested. I'm  glad the class is for beginners as well.

get details  about that particular class. some are taught twice in a night, 
but not most  classes. some classes are via email instead of telephone 
conference call. most  classes begin at eight eastern time and run for two, three 
or four weeks. in  the class description you can find out if the class is 
focused on the beginner  or more advanced crafter. most classes are flexible.

this class as  not yet been posted to the website, or list, but be on the look 
out for it.  get yourself a set of round looms with loom tool, and some  
category 5  bulky weight yarn from your local craft shop or online and I will 
be happy to  help you get started looming a scarf.

to loom as well. its  a fairly easy project and there will be a number of 
experienced loom knitters  there to help out. I have somewhat of a following 
you see.  <smile>
