I really like the breezes shawl pattern and would love to knit it. I have one question and I feel silly asking this. But, when you cast on 103 pegs from left to right is that going in a clockwise direction or counterclockwise direction? Thank you for any help you can give.

On the cast on, you will be going counterclockwise; this will prepare for Row 1 to be clockwise.
I just came across the pattern for the Breezes Shawl. I see that it calls for 103 pegs but the skinny loom only has 96. How do I go about being able to get the total 103 pegs?
The pattern uses two kits.
