[Nfb-krafters-korner] Loom Knit Dishcloth Class Posted

Thu Jun 1 17:27:47 UTC 2017

I have purchased the Knitting Board Sock Loom II & the Knitting Board 18"
All-in-One Loom from Joann. Both are good investments for seasoned Loom
knitters. Now, I'm not saying beginner loom knitters shouldn't purchase
these looms. I feel the Boye, Loops & Threads, Yarnology, etc. would be a
better investment for beginners.

Please, please, please do not feel you MUST purchase new looms for this
class. The loom on the supply list is recommended & the instructions will
be sent out using a loom with a 1/2" peg spacing. The pattern can easily be
converted to other looms with different peg spacing using some basic math
skills.

I hope this helps.
