Since I made this video, I have been learning a lot more about how to use it and have received some wonderful tips from subscribers about the Afghan loom. I will revisit this loom in the near future. Thank you. 🌻
Thank you for teaching me to loom. I have crochet for several years. As an 83 YO man not sure how many men realize the health benefits from doing this type of activity. Physically, mentally, etc. I have one question. I have just completed 2 shawls, one for my wife and one for an adult daughter. You have shown on one of your videos a multi-colored shawl. Seemed very light and airy. I think my wife would love one. Do you have a demonstration of that shawl, or can you share the material / yarn used. It didn't seem like wool or acrylic. Thank you again. - Michael
Hi Michael! Thank you so very much for watching. I am happy that you find the videos helpful. I know the shawl you are talking about. A few other people have asked about it. I will do a video just on that shawl soon. But in the meantime, here is what you kneed to know:
That shawl was loom knitted on the long loom precisely, as demonstrated in the following videos. It is the yarn that makes it so airy looking.
Below is a link to the yarn that was used. There are an array of colors to choose from. --

Continued success to you!🧶🧶🌻
I just have to say one thing. You are wonderful. I love how easy you make everything. I never made anything, I hate to sew. I had a accident and am home and can not do much. Because of you I don't feel hopeless. I've made several hats and have given them to friends. I am now making little hats and giving them to our local hospital for new borns. I don't know what I would have done if I wouldn't have found you. I just have to say Thank You so much, God Bless You
Diane, your comment means the world to me. I am sorry to hear about your accident. I am happy to hear that you have found away to uplift your spirit and make others happy too. You are amazing. Thank you for watching. I pray for your continued healing. 🌻🌻🌻🧶
You remind me of a school teacher. Were you ever an educator? Watching you I now know how to loom.❤️😊
Years ago, I used to teach acting to young children. However, over the years, I have just become more sensitive to the fact that everyone processes things differently and in order to include everyone, it is often necessary to break in down in easy to understandable chunks. Thank you sooo very much. 🧶🧶
I agree with u. She has a beautiful presence and speaks eloquently
Can you make a large blanket on the other looms. I can’t wait to see how to use this one. Thanks for sharing it with us
Love your presence on camera. Even though I don’t do crafts, this was still very interesting. Congrats on your growing channel!
Thank you. I appreciate you watching. --And, congratulations on your new home! Stay amazing!🌻🌻🌻
Beautiful work. I also love the top your wearing, So glad to see you again
Well, HELLO , Sandra Boyd!! Thank you. Always a pleasure to hear from you. I trust that all is well with you. Enjoy your day! 🌸🌸
I appreciate your sensitivity to many expertise and speeds of learning . Personally I have a very difficult time learning new tasks because I am disabled from Multiple Sclerosis . Thank you 😊 .
Hi Tracy! Yes, because of some challenges that I have faced in my life, I am very sensitive to the fact that people learn things in different ways and in different amounts of time. I appreciate you. All the best to you. 🧶🧶🧶🌻🌻🧶🌻☀️
I enjoy all your videos- I’m pretty new to loom knitting - you have definitely inspired me - I love seeing your smile
Hi Carol! Thank you so very much for watching and for being on the channel. I am happy that you have been inspired to learn to loom knit. It can be a lot of fun and very relaxing. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. All the best to you!🧶🌻🌻
Somehow I keep "discovering" you and I'm super pleased at your wonderful videos. You are a delight and I wish you nothing but the best. Thank you much...
Hello Peter, Thank you for watching and thank you for the lovely comment. I am happy that you find the tutorials helpful. All the best to you!!🧶🧶🧶🌻
I really enjoy watching you.You have a terrific personality.You make me smile.I learn easy from your videos.Thanks again!!
Mary, thank you. I appreciate your comment.. It means a lot to me. All the best to you.🌻🧶🌻
i love you and your videos so so so dearly ☺️ you’re the sweetest ever and your videos are so easy to follow !!! thank you so much !!
Hi Jasmine! I appreciate you watching. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. It means a lot to me. All the best to you!!🌻🌻🧶
Gorgeous top !!! Love the lace and color 😁
Hi Susan! Thank you so very much for watching. Thank you for the lovely comment. All the best to you and your loved ones!!🌻🕶🌻🌻
Wow! Thank you for showing that monster loom! I hadn’t realised it was that large 😱 and rather cumbersome looking. You are a champion tackling it! It does look like it would be good for doing large panels to join for a queen- or king-size bed cover...(I’m still working on getting a hat started🙄).
I know there are hats with visors or hat brims in the vast repository of free crochet pattern sites-if I can find some, I will try to get the link to you. Best of luck with the computer and the patterns...you have so many things to do! Love your videos, thank you so much, all the best to you!
Greetings! Thank you! I think If I wanted to do large panels for a large bed, I would make panels on a long loom and piece them together.
Oh, yes, if you run across any free crochet hat patterns,let me know.
All the best to you and your loved ones.🧶🧶🧶
Hey Wambui!! I just love the way you teach. I now own a bunch of looms. I started with the long flat one (working on a rather large blanket), the smaller flat ones (I mastered scarves) and am currently waiting for my set of rounds (I only have one round and found out about the sets once I bought it) We are not going to talk about this yarn addiction I now have. Anyway, this video inspired me to go ahead and get myself an infinity loom. I got the "cheaper" version to see if I like it. If I can make a blanket successfully, I plan to invest into the KB loom later on. I took everything you said into consideration and when my loom arrives in two days, I am going to try to use different size yarns to see how things look. I appreciate you and your videos so much!
Very pretty! I just ordered one of these looms and am waiting for it now. I've had the round hat looms and just made about 15 hats and decided since I did that, I might be able to handle an afghan :) I've found it to be a fun and fairly thoughtless activity that can be done in front of the computer playing videos, etc to keep the hands busy.
Hello Sirena! A few subscribers have told me that they either have or have just ordered the Afghan loom. I am going to revisit it and show it more love🤗. I plan to do a slower more in depth video for Afghan loom newbies. Yes, loom knitting is relaxing and goes quickly enough to get instant gratification with a finished product. Thank you watching the video. 🧶🌻🧶🌻
I love watching your videos. Thank u so much for teaching me a new hobby
Hi Keith! Thank YOU for watching. I am happy that you find the videos helpful. All the best to you!!🧶🧶🌻
Thank you for your tutorial. You’re a brave woman!
Greetings! Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate the lovely comment. When you say ‘brave’, I don’t know if you’re referring to the fact that I’m tackling the Afghan loom. If this is what you mean, I have surrendered. I have finally come to realize that the Afghan or serenity loom is not my thing🤗. all the best to you!🧶🧶🌻
That's beautiful and very helpful! Thank you for sharing your project. I'm considering to give my sister the Iinfinity loom for Christmas.
Greetings! Thank you so very much for watching. I’m glad that you found the information helpful. The infinity loom can be a great gift. I wish you and your sister all the best and a wonderful holiday season!🌻🧶🧶
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel. I just started knitting in June and using Looms in July. I was looking thru you tube to learn on how to use a loom n found you n other, but I like the way you are, to the point, your directions are so easy to follow, n you are so much fun to watch n learn from. So I can't wait to see your other video's n what else you have for us to learn. Have a great weekend
Thank you sooo very much. I appreciate you subscribing and your lovely comments. I hope I don’t disappoint 🤗. Enjoy your weekend 🌻🧶🌻
Just got my loom and I love it made several mistakes but I finally got it now
Hi Melanie! Congratulations! I’m happy you are enjoying your loom and loom knitting. Continued success!!!🌸🧶🌸🧶
Yes! Will you please show us how to crochet a hat?! That would be awesome! Also teach us how you did the flat hat!
I will do both. Thank you! 🧶🧶🧶
This was a amazing video. You have done really well on your channel carry on going 😉
Thank you for watching. I appreciate you. This comment was lost in spam and I did did not see it until now. I wish you all the best in this New Year!!
@@WambuiMadeIt Thank you and happy New year to you as well😊 happy loom knitting
Thank you for sharing your techniques. I have many questions for you which I hope you can answer for me. It's wonderful to finally know how to keep my projects from "curling " up by doing the "knit one row, purl one row." Do you know if it works out if you were to say knit two rows, purl two rows, or k"knit one, purl two, or knit two purl one? I've been wanting to get one of these "Infinity Looms," myself. Do you have any suggestions as to which brand is best? BTW, what "number" of thread (bulk) and/or brand do you recommend I use for a soft blanket? I've tried a thin, soft yarn on a loom, but, it was just too thin to hold the shape. And, worsted weight yarn is just too "rough" on my skin. Thank you for your advice, and, thank you bunches for sharing.
Hello, I'm new here, nice to meet you. You have a great channel, hope you get more people in your channel, and hope to see more from you! 🤗
Thank you for the kind comments. All the best to you. ☀️
I love your videos you teachings are so easy to follow. I would love to make a triangle shawl with a fairly open knit and haven’t found one yet. Can you let me know if you have a video teaching one??
Hi Shirley! I appreciate you. Wow! What you are describing sounds fabulous!! I have not made anything that fancy yet. I am working towards that. I will keep an eye open for you. All the best to you always!🌻🌻🧶🌻
You are such a delight. I just started looming so I’m on a learning curve if there was ever one. You give me hope. Thank you. Isaiah 54
Hi Jan! Thank you for watching. I am glad you found the video helpful and you are feeling more hopeful. You can do this!!🧶🌻🌻
Cut a brim (made out of soft, flexible plastic like sides of a milk carton) and insert it in the brim of a sock hat....have made lots for our model airplane pilots. ....God Bless
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for showing me how to make a blanket on the afghan loom! I started one but it turned into an infinity scarf! You are fantastic and your instructions are so easy to follow! I agree that it's really awkward to use. I wonder if they make smaller ones?
Hi Toni! I am glad the video helped and I really appreciate you watching. Since this video, there are theses follow-ups too:

Love watching your videos when I can. You are so creative. I have the round looms and I have made a couple of hats. The thing is I have our 1st great grand baby coming in Oct and I want to make her something special, any ideas? I already crochet blankets, I want to expand on the looms. Thanks so much, God bless you
Well, my sincerest apologizes for taking sooo long to respond. Congratulations on your 1st grand!!! I I was away for so long, your grandchild will be graduating from high school soon. 😊 I don’t have any original ideas - I always end up with blankets. If it is not to late, peruse Pinterest and Etsy for fresh ideas. Congratulations again!!!🎉
What size yarn do you use with it? I’ve just ordered one and would like to get the yarn
Oh good gravy, I feel my RA flaring up, is a bigger round Afghan loom a better option than an S loom?
Hi CeCe! In my opinion, yes a large round afghan loom is better than the S or infinity loom. To me, this loom is just really awkward. That is just my opinion. I’m going to give It a few more tries, but right now, I am not feeling that S loom.🤗 🧶🧶
that nice that way
adorei você que simpática!!! Sou do Brasil!
🌻🌻🌻
How wide is the blanket?? What weight yarn? Thanks pd
Did you show us how to Pearl on the loom? Did I miss it??
I have the Knitting Board S loom. It is a little more compact. The CinDwood S looms are also more compact. I also do a few rows of garter stitch at the bottom & about a 4 stitch garter along each side. Keeps it flat. Love your videos. Watched you a few years ago then got into diamond painting. Just subscribed to your channel so will be looking forward to seeing your videos. Be well & happy looming.
Thank you, Noraida! I appreciate your tips about the Afghan. I am going to revisit this loom and present another video about all that I have learned since this first video. Thank you for watching. I don’t know what diamond painting is. I’m going to look that up. All the best to you.🌻🌻🌻
Wambui Made It diamond painting is relaxing. I live in Forest Hills, Queens, NY. I would be happy to send you one to try. I have a more than enough & I share with friends and family that want to try it out. It is like paint by number or cross stitching. Tons of TH-cam creators out there. I can send you friend mail. My email is noraidalouis@aol.com.
You are so talented
I am sooo sorry that this was in my spam folder. I appreciate your comment. Thank you very much!🧶🧶🧶
So, I just picked up the long looms. My goal is to make equal length rectangles out from the longest loom so I can stitch or knit them together and 1.) make a poncho. I saw a tutorial for combining two rectangles. Something else I really wanna try is those cute 2.) knitted headbands. The ones that may or may not cover your ears, depending on the width. Another thing that could be cool is making a 3.) drawstring purse on the round loom, since it’s pretty much the same as a hat, maybe just involving a string fed through to tie the purse.
Hi Natalie! Wow! You have so many amazing ideas. I really like the poncho idea. That is amazing! All of your projects sound so good I want to go do them right now. Are you sharing these ideas with me so that I might demonstrate them? It takes me a little while to get a video out but I will be happy to demonstrate any of these things on my channel. I hope you are enjoying your weekend. All the best to you! 🌻🧶🌻🧶🌻🌻🌻☀️
Thank you and same to you :) I actually picked up crochet in the last couple of days, and i’m following a tutorial for the headband/ear warm thing now. it’s working out great and the crochet seems to be going faster for this specific project than the tutorial i was previously following for this on the loom
Thankyou and I love your voice
What a sweet comment Thank you. And, thank you for watching.🌻🌻🌻🌻🧶
Wambui Made It no , thankyou darling
Oh my gosh, 106 inches is just shy of nine feet. That's huge for such a little loom! I mean, it's a big loom in comparison to my hat loom, but that loom doesn't look more than two and a half to three feet.
Woah.
It does sound huge doesn’t it? 🤗 I just re- measured and I still get 106 inches. What I am measuring is the entire path of the loom - following the path of the loom. One ‘S’ of the loom is 53 inches - but then it doubles back around on it self. However, I am finding the finished product does shrink in when taken off the loom and not the full width that the loom measures. I will show this in the next video. Thank you. 🧶🌸🧶
Just checking on you my friend have not seen a video from you in a while take care Sandra
Oh my dear Sandra!! Thank you for reaching out. I am good. I have just been overwhelmed with -life. All is well and I plan to get back to the channel over the next few weeks. I miss y’all. I trust that you are well. Thanks again. Take care--🌻🌻🌻
Thank you.
Thank YOU for watching. All the best to you. 🌻🧶🌻
Hello from Canada. Can you make a shawl on the Afghan/infinity loom?
Hi Heather! Yes you can. Although this link is to a video where I was demonstrating an afghan, I think it might be useful in better seeing how you can also make a shawl:
The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It th-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/w-d-xo.html
You would just have to decide on how wide and long you want the shawl to be. 🌻🌻🌻🧶
Can we make a Afghan baby blanket with the round looms
To make a blanket on the round loom, you would follow the instructions for making a scarf on the round loom. You will have to make several long scarves and then join them together. You can also use the long or oblong loom and do the same.
I love your videos
Hi Christina! Thank you so very much for watching. I am glad that you enjoy the videos. That means a lot to me. All the best to you!🧶🌻🧶
Wambui!! I want to have a knitting party with you!! 😀💕💕
Knitting party 🎉🎉 ! Sounds like a good idea🤗! Thank you!!🧶🧶🧶
Can you show how to do an Afghan on a KB Super Afghan Loom?
Hi Morgan, Yes, I promised that a while ago. Embarrassed 😔 that I have not done it yet. Hope to have that video up over the next week. Thank You for coming by here.🧶🧶🧶
Hi again. Could you please dedicate a video to changing colors - how to. please and ty
Hi Fernando! The following is a video that I did about changing colors. It is changing colors when loom knitting in general. It is not specific to the afghan looms. However, I believe that the same rules and techniques will still apply. I hope this will be helpful: Changing Colors on the Round and Long Loom Knitting Looms - Looming With Wambui Made It th-cam.com/video/6U9tLbCU4ic/w-d-xo.html. 🌻🧶🧶🌻
Hi I have a question: I was making a blanket on an infinity loom. It turn out long and narrow. So it’s a really long shawl looking thing. Do you think it can be saved or should I start over?
Hi Tammy! Wow! What a question! I am sorry to hear about the troubles you’re having with your afghan loom blanket. My first suggestion would be to think about knitting a panel or “shawl” the exact same width and length and then, piece the two together to make a wider blanket. Otherwise, and I am not kidding, if it really will make a great shawl then put some fringe on the ends and have yourself a shawl. Other than those options, starting over is always a good option. I for one, am always pulling things apart and starting over when they are not going the way I thought they should. There is a way to remove stitches. However, I think it would just be so tedious that you would wish you had just started over. These are my suggestions. I hope you find them helpful. In the end, you just have to follow your heart. Thank you for reaching out to me and thank you for being on the channel.🌻🌻🌻🧶🌻🌻🧶🌻☀️
Hi Wambui, I want to try the (kb afghan loom), but I will be a beginner at loom knitting. After using this loom do you feel that it is too time consuming for any level of experience with loom knitting? Do you think the round and rectangular looms are better than an afghan loom for any knitting projects?
Hi, If you are a beginner, I would work with the round looms until I felt comfortable with them. Make a hat and a few othe projects on the round loom before going to the afghan loom. I am no longer a fan of the afghan loom. I find working on it very tedius. There are many who enjoy it. However, as a beginner, I would wait a while.
Can you use a round loom to make a blanket?
Yes, -and, I believe it will be much easier. See my video: ‘how to knit a flat scarf on a round loom’. You will be making sections to join together until you get the width you want.
How much does it cost to make a blanket on an infinity loom
Help with loom blanket off the s loom.
you have to try kb loom you can do figure 8 you have to mark the number on the loom
Thank You. Preparing to make that video next.🌻🌻🧶
Hi, I would like to know how to keep the yarn loose on the ends inside of the loom the yarn always tightens up on either end no matter how loose I put the yarn
Hi Cindy!
If I understand you correctly, I have found a way to correct this problem. Instead of wrapping all the stitches at once and then going back to pull the bottoms over the top, I wrap one individual peg at a time as I go. I will also make a brief video in the coming weeks to show better what I mean.🌻🧶🌻
Hello Wambui do you by any chance where to get the Afghan loom
Hi Barbara! I got my Afghan loom at Michael’s. There are some on Amazon. Search Serenity loom or infinity loom. My loom shows up in the Serenity loom search. I hope this helps.🧶
@@WambuiMadeIt thank you very much this really helped and ps you are very beautiful
My name is actually kiera and my mom's name is barbara.and that curly hair of yours😊
How do you make a scarf that does not curl ?
Thank you
What is the best yarns to use
I answered this in your previous comment.👌🧶
l made one for full size bed
I've wanted to try this loom but.....I'll check out your finished project and decide. Like you, I think that loom is too big. Good Knit Kisses has a loom knit hat with a visor. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you! I have been away and I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. My intent was to show my finished project from this loom. I will have to confess that I never finished 😟- just was a chore and not fun.
It's okay. I bought the loom and it's still in the box 🤔. It may get returned.
Wambui: For the person who asked about loom knitting a hat with visor, I would recommend these Ytube videos:

A baseball cap is here on TH-cam. [[Also I will email you about a new computer]]. I had that same Green Infinity Loom. I had a blanket on it and took it off peg by peg and transferred it to another loom. I have a grand-niece who I taught to loom knit on a visit she made to my city. She learned so fast, I gave her my Green Infinity Loom. I look forward to the flat top hat.
Greetings!
Thank you so much for watching and for being on the channel. Unfortunately, I did not receive your email. Please send it again. My email address is Wambui @ wambuimadeit.com. You have been very busy crafting and teaching others to craft - That is a good thing! I will look out for your email. In the meantime, stay wonderful and have a joyful day 🧶🧶🌻
Hey I was wondering if you live in winnipeg
Hey Tracy! I live in New York City.🌻🧶🌻
I am working on an afghan with a loom that has 204 pegs. Total e wrap pattern
Hi Lorraine! I am happy and excited that you are ready to do an Afghan blanket. However, I want to caution you about doing a blanket consisting of all one stitch. I have listed below three videos that I think you might find helpful. The first explains why we don’t want to do a flat item using only one stitch. The following two videos are part one and part two of an Afghan blanket I demonstrated on this channel. I hope you find all of these tutorials helpful. And I hope that I’m not too late to stop you before you start doing a blanket with only one stitch. All the best to you. Thank you so much for being on the channel.🧶🧶
Here are the tutorials I mentioned:

The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It th-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/w-d-xo.html
I bought one and it seems so flimsy that I’m afraid to use it. I’ve also seen people say the tops pop off, so I instead bought a KB afghan loom too and will return infirm loom. Has anyone tried the KB version? It appears far more durable. ?
I agree with your assessment of the looms. I finally got a wooden loom - the one I am using in this video: The Afghan Loom Part 2 from Wambui Made It th-cam.com/video/0buMQVXeFhQ/w-d-xo.html
Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
A queen flat sheet is 106" LONG and a king flat is 106" WIDE.
Okay - wow! Good to know. Thank you! Then that loom will allow you to make a blanket for either - Queen or King. Stay amazing!!🧶🌻🧶

How do I make a baby Afghan?
Hi Connie! I have not done a video where I specifically address making a baby blanket. If you are new to loom knitting, I recommend using a larger round loom or make 2 or 3 panels on a round loom and then join them together. If you are using the afghan loom, you can use this exact pattern that I use in this video - just make it smaller. I am going to leave a link to a video that will show you how to figure how many pegs to wrap for the size blanket that you want. The average baby blanket is about 35 in by 45 in. Once you choose a size and the the yarn and loom you want to use, this video will show you how to decide how many pegs to wrap and how many rows to loom knit for the size blanket you want:
How To Figure Out How Many Pegs You Need To Wrap - and How Many Rows You Need To Knit th-cam.com/video/Ipu-33bPtAo/w-d-xo.html

what size of wool did you use
This is a #5 yarn. ‘Loops and Threads Charisma’ brand. A brand exclusive to Michaels. God bless!🌻🌻🧶
@@WambuiMadeIt thank you i was thinking of buying and s loom but knit with sites 3
I had that loom and gave it away. I didn't like that one at all. I have the KB afghan loom and I love it.
Hi Bobbie! I don’t like that green loom anymore either. The pegs stared breaking off and it was just awkward to use. I finally ordered a wooden afghan loom from CindWood looms. I like that one much better. I know that KB makes some great products. All the best to you!!🌻🌻🌻🧶
l did the ho loom but the yarn go over was to tight so l had to take everything out
Hi Lucy!
I feel your frustration. The Afghan loom can be challenging. If this is your first Afghan, perhaps, you mind find it a little easier to make panels on the long loom and join them together.
Below are the videos that can walk you through that process:
How To Loom Knit On A Long Loom - Part One th-cam.com/video/MDzBAE0fRhw/w-d-xo.html

Lucy, I am sorry to hear that. In your previous comment, I said that I know how challenging the Afghan or Infinity loom can be. If you are new to making Afghans, I suggested that, perhaps, making panels on the long loom and joining them together might prove to be less frustrating. 🧶🧶🧶🧶🌻
When are you going to make a new video?🤔😀
Mmmm, I am sooo embarrassed I have been away so long. I’m hopeful to have some new videos before thanksgiving. 🧶
When are you going to make a new video
I am embarrassed that it has been soooo long. I will definitely start producing more videos just before Thanksgiving - or near end of this month.🌻🌻🌻
No no it’s ok I just wanted to know
I love the (fkat top) hat!
Hi Linda! Yes, the flat hat is one of my favorites too!! Best wishes to you!!🌻🧶🌻

Sorry that isn’t an kB Afghan loom. That is an “s” loom the Afghan loom is more sturdy than that one. That you will break on a large project
Hi Shirley! Thank you for watching and I do appreciate all feedback. However, in the video, I never mention the word or brand KB. I call it an Afghan loom for the simple fact that it is used to make afghans. If you say that the KB looms are more sturdy, I believe that because, in general, I have found their products to be superior to many on the market. Thank you for pointing out that distinction. 🌻🌻🧶
Wambui please don’t get me wrong I’m totally new at loom knitting and know nothing!! Lol I had just watched a video of a lady comparing the two looms and that is why I said something!! I just bought a kB Afghan loom and am very anxious to use it. I had bought some beautiful yarn for but realized that it was to thick to use on the loom. I haven’t learned all of that sort of stuff yet. Your videos are so very helpful and you explain everything very well. I’ve made four dish scrubbies so far!!
Thank you for replying!!
Hello Shirley! I am still learning too. I meant it when I said that I was happy you had pointed out the distinction between the two looms. As I said, If I could make an afghan on it, I just called it an afghan loom. In talking about these looms in the future, I will now be aware of the differences between KB afghan and the ‘S’, etc. Each one teach one!🤗 Since this video, I did get my favorite afghan loom from CinDWood - the wooden afghan loom. All is well. I hope you will continue to give me a heads up if you think I have gone off track. I hope you enjoy your weekend!
My lady to much talk
