[Nfb-krafters-korner] purchasing large looms

 Lilly;
As you make your stitches, on a flat or round item, your item gradually falls through to the center of the loom.  You work at one end and your finished work dangles below where you are working.

Hello All, 

 

I am pondering the possibility of purchasing a larger loom to work on the purl heart afghan class pattern, among other things once I get a bit more experience under my belt. In terms of a loom this size (120 pegs or more), what is a good estimate of what they cost?

Also, I was wondering how exactly anything could be created with these. I know that there are round and oval looms, and probably others as well. I don't get where the loops go once they are pulled off the pegs, and how this could make a long, flat item. Could someone explain this? I guess I'm not good at the visual spacing of picturing how this could be done.

Thanks
