[Nfb-krafters-korner] loom search for upcoming class

[minh ha]

I absolutely despise Boye looms, and I don't say that lightly. If you
want a smooth knitting experience, I recommend looking for a different
brand. Here's a link to Amazon for the Knifty Knitter spool loom. I
have it and with all KK looms, it's fabulous.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
