Hi, All!

Someone so kindly sent me the equivalents between the looms and knitting needles last week! I thought the document had saved, but it did not. Whomever sent it to me, would you, if you still have the e-mail in your sent folder, send it on to me so I can save it. I built a bolder for loom knitting information. Smiles. 

Hugs and thanking in advance and this was information for the round looms. As an example the 5.5-inch loom was equal to the 8 by 10-inch needles, I believe, but don't quote me on that because I could be wrong! Smiles. Just citing an example of what I received with possibly wrong coordinants! Smiles!

Hugs

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!

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.
