[Nfb-krafters-korner] My News regarding my purchases

Mon Mar 25 13:58:06 UTC 2013

 If you go back to your e-mails, last week, I told you how many pegs, per loom, to be sure to make sure you had, when buying the round looms.
I told you about the Knifty Knitter looms no longer being made and about maybe being able to get looms at Walmart or michaels or any other craft store.

Well, I'm not sure what today because with the looms I have the pegs can't be adjusted. I had no idea that I needed specific types of loops. So, now what do I do. No one ever mentioned needing a specific number of pegs on looms and spacing. I am not sure I can even take these looms back to the store because getting there is the problem.

Hugs
