Plus, I liked that the smaller pegs created a small gauge loom with the pegs measuring 3\/8&#8243; apart. So far, I&#8217;ve used it in three ways: the big square (13&#8243;?) to weave some &#8220;Weave-It&#8221; style\u00a0potholders out of super bulky yarn; the small square (7&#8243;) to weave a continuous weave potholder; and a circle, to begin knitting a garter stitch washcloth&#8230; dishcloth. We&#8217;ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n<p>Although it&#8217;s nice that it breaks into pieces, which is always a plus, the negative is that the pegs are removable, and they do pop out. I tried very hard to keep them secure, but the blue (smallest) pegs were very irritating with purling a stitch, which puts some tension on the peg as you lift the loop off.<\/p>\n<p>I imagine using this when I&#8217;d like the smaller gauge or playing around with the squares. If I had to do a larger project, I think I&#8217;d try the slightly larger pegs first to see if that would help.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Martha Stewart Loom\" href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3773\/8757053213_d797960e96.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Martha Stewart Loom\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3773\/8757053213_d797960e96.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought a Martha Stewart Knitting and Weaving Loom, mainly because I wanted the flexibility to make different sizes.
