Hi Karen, yes, the small guage looms do take some getting used to, but,
Terry, you and I will master them
Are you using the Caron brqand of yarhn? I like that brand.
Take care, and, happy looming!

Is it the same size as their round small gage set?
Henry and I, now each have a set of the round ones.
We have the adjustable ones, too, but have not had time to learn how to use
them!
Making items for convention, work, a few classes and orders, take up all my
time!

Terry

Hi,

AIO is the all-in-one small gauge adjustable loom from Knitting Board that
allows for flat knitting, knitting in the round and double knitting. It
takes some getting used to.

E-wrap works fine with worsted weight yarn on the small gauge loom. The
close spacing of the pegs slows me down but it's still faster than the
needles. I was on the phone yesterday with a friend for an hour and a half
and at one point, stopped to shake out my hands, and couldn't believe how
the knit had grown. It was up to eight inches. 

I tend to use the true knit stitch with worsted weight yarn on the regular
gauge loom and will try that next. The Simply Soft is a #4 but seems to be
thinner than my other #4 yarn so not sure how that will go.

On the needles I'm knitting from the rectangle patterns posted from Warm Up
America. 

HTH,

Karen
