I didn't get looms with adjustable pegs! Joyce was talking about looms with adjustable pegs and I responded. She just wanted me to know about them. Smiles! I have the right looms as what I have are the same as the KK looms, just a different brand. The KK looms can't be found in Michael's or in Joanne's here. Smiles!

And, yes, Terry, you did mention same last week and I went in accordance to the information so many very kind and helpful people like yourself suggested. Smiles!

Hugs

>  The looms we want you to buy, do not have adjustable pegs.  Those are for more advanced loomers.  They are a bit more pricy and we sugjest that you get looming under your belt, before spending money on advanced equipment.  I think I mentioned this, last week, also.

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.
