Hi Beth,
Thanks very much for the encouragement and the advice on loom selection. I had heard of Bergman looms, but haven't turned up any for sale in the Housekeeping pages or other websites with used equipment, or eBay. I'm not on the West Coast, so I don't think it's likely I'd find one locally.
I've been looking at Glimraka's Ideal, and Louet's Spring and Leclerc's Nilus II (in the countermarche version). "Looking" means reading about them online, since I haven't sat down and tried any of them yet. I will be at the Mannings next month for a class, and hope to be able to play on some of their demonstrator looms and get a better sense of what will work for me.
Thanks again for the advice!
