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

Terry,

The 3 and 5 peg is just a smaller spool and will give a smaller cord. I 
forget what that one is called but I would like to have one of them.

How many pegs does it have?  I have the 5/8 and I also have one with 3/5 
pegs.  I do not know the brand.

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.
