[Nfb-krafters-korner] AKB Basic Loom set, was Can I enable the loom knitters?

[Barb Roland]

The 32 peg loom is a fixed board loom, it has 14 pegs on each side and 2 pegs on each end. It can be used for either single or double knit, for double knit you will have 14 pairs of pegs to work on, not 16 pairs as the end pairs are not spaced for double knitting. It can be used for round knitting since all the pegs are the same distance from each other.
The distances from front pegs to back pegs is about an inch.
The p2p (peg to peg) spacing is 3/8"

> Deb,  just keep in mind that because it is a smaller gauge, the pegs will be smaller  and closer together making it harder to "feel" what your doing, but with some  practice and  patiences I think you'll be able to work with it. I does  take longer to complete projects but I do like the way projects look when done  on these.
