Ha Ha, I had a big rug loom over some 20 years ago.... It took a good chunk of the living room. One day my 8 yr old DD and I were stringing it. The loom had a counter - when the counter fell off, that 'bout' was wound on to the loom. We got all done and it looked odd but I tried it out. The weaving looked like fried baloney. We could not figure out why. Well, DS who was 2 was watching to make sure the counter didn't fall off. He was pushing it back on. Sure was a mess. I had a lot of neck and shoulder problems from all the beating down on that loom so I sold it.
