[Nfb-krafters-korner] Loom Notes

[Jody Ianuzzi]

The Boye looms and products have negative reviews on Amazon so I have never gotten one. I tried one that my friend had once and I just didn't like the feel.

> I don’t know if it was Jodie or Rena that mentioned making 10 by 10 squares on the 24 peg long loom,, but, the squares can be stitched together with a slip stitch, or crocheted together with a single crochet stitch. You can also use the same stitch for the border on the edges for a fancier blanket.
> Also, the Boye looms have a horizontal groove around the top of the pegs, this might be to prevent your stitches from popping off the pegs. this groove can snag your yarn and mess up your work.
> The Michael’s Loops and Threads Looms don’t have this groove, so the yarn slides more smoothly on the pegs.
