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.

need two round looms? You said we need to get a set of them. I'll keep this

I'm glad the class is for beginners as well.

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.
