| Loom Woven Fresh Green Afghan Reviewed by on 2013-03-10 |
 |
| Not sure how anyone can create this afghan on the Martha Stewart loom. In the directions for this pattern states to place 20 pegs in every other slot, this leaves the swatch with gaps. In the directions in the Martha Stewart loom guild it states to place 40 pegs in every slot making it rather difficult to slide the weaving tool through the yarn on the loom. That's another thing; if you want to create the larger afghan the weaving tool is not long enough to go all the way across the loom making it easy to drop a stitch or two. Love the afghan but need to look for a loom that can accommodate this pattern.
