Wow! This was a Christmas gift from Santa for my 8yr old daughter. I had one when I was little and enjoyed making pot mats for everyone I love. I am pumped! My daughter loves mass producing these bright, beautiful, 6x6 mats for myself, her teachers and grown up sisters. She also got an Ipod, a Fur Real Friends dog, and several other high tech gifts, but if you ask what her FAVORITE Christmas gift is....She LOVES her potholder weaving loom the most!!! My older girls had a different brand yrs ago. It was plastic, the loops were smaller and stretchier and shrunk to a mat barely 4" big. This is the NICEST loom and loops I have seen. I am so happy Santa shops on Amazon!!!...
