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

Mon Mar 25 15:16:54 UTC 2013

Ok, I understand! The long looms have pegs on each side! Smiles! I'm hearing people like the round looms better, but how in the world would a person do an afghan! Smiles! I know I'm asking questions, but I'm learning to ask as I never was brave enough to ask questions in the past! Smiles!

Hugs

> The long looms are called double rake looms.  We have only learned one stitch on this loom. Any flat item you can do on a round loom, you can do on a rake loom, but they will look different, because the type of stitch patterns are different.  It is the preference of the loomer.

> Yes the largest is 41 pegs in the round set! I sent another e-mail with the number of pegs in each loom for the round and long looms. I'm thinking the long looms would be used for afghans. Smiles! I love making afghans as gifts or special occasions for people.
