[Nfb-krafters-korner] 60 loom class?? where when...

[Cathy]

Hi Catherine,

The 60 peg loom was for the loom knit shawl class that had to be canceled.
However you can knit the basic prayer shawl on the 60 peg loom which is
exactly what I am doing now. 
Real easy but takes lots of time.

You may add fringe, tassels, a crocheted border or the shawl can be left as
is.
