Hello, all. I'm thinking I would like to purchase a Mirrix loom. I've seen them at fiber festivals and bead shows and I'm finally sold. However, I cannot decide if I want the 16" Big Sister or the 12" Little Guy. Most of my crafting that can be done on the couch is done on the couch. I even spin yarn while sitting on the couch. I do have a Cricket Loom and have used it on the couch when I put a small flat lap desk in my lap.
So my main concern is can I use the Big Sister in my lap? Everywhere I've read that the Little Guy is perfect for your lap, but the size of only 9" wide weaving space seems a bit limiting. I've read websites that say you can fit the Big Sister in your lap, but it doesn't fit as nicely, and I've read websites that say you really can't use the Big Sister in your lap. Does anyone have a Big Sister and use it in their lap?
I would love the extra few inches for wider tapestry pieces, but I'm not sure if I want to give up the ability to use it in my lap. The price is not really much of a difference, so that isn't a concern.
Thanks for any input you might have.
