Hi,
I was just where you are this past October.  I knew nothing, and it all sounded so cool.  I took Henry's double rake scarf class which was taught on the long loom.  He and everyone else in the class were far more advanced than I, but everyone was very helpful!  I think they all had a good time helping me, because I was giggling like a kid with a new toy.  I can honestly say, you will be delighted with the classes and all the students offering help.

Jill

Hi, Joyce! Thanks. How wide would the afghan be with 40 pegs! I gues I could try it when the time comes to do that and see how wide it is! Smiles. Gee, you all are so smart and good and I know nothing about this stuff! I only worked with pot holder looms as a kid! Smiles!

Hugs
