Well, after putting the Ashford loom together and ready to make the scarf that was in their pamplet, I measured out the distance from the loop post to the loom and started looping the yarn. I am about 3/4 the way through and looking good. All of a sudden the stool fell over and all the loops wound up in the floor. What a mess that was. Soooo I started straightening out the loops and the stool back up right, Somehow the stool was moved a little more back than when I started and after working each loop again, I had so many knots and tangles I thought I was going to cut and start over. But I am too stubborn to quit. After about an hour reworking and untangling the mess, I finally got it back in order. Now I am about 3/4 done weaving and I had to just stop and laugh. I know this has never happened to anyone else. RIGHT. It sure is looking good for a beginner I think. When I get it done, I'll post a picture of it. Richard
