Purple Loom!

Ok, so I finally decided to try the purple loom, I'm making a nice wide double knit scarf. It is really turning out pretty nice. One thing I did notice is that it take a lot more yarn. I only bought 2 skeins for hat and scarf.....I'll need at least one more skein just to finish the scarf. So, bummer, I'll have to go get more yarn! I used the lucet cast on for this scarf and the 'zig-zag' (I think) stitch only I wrapped every peg, not every other one. Posted by Picasa

Bunny purse and other stuff....

Here's my cutie pie in her new poncho and hat!
Made some fleece tie blankets for the kids dolls, this is just a picture of several I've made over time. Little girl loves to wrap her dolls in 'blankies', so I made her some small ones from the remants section!
Also, my first bunny purse. Next, to try some doggies!

This weekends progress....lots of time for knitting when your sick

My Project Spectrum project is done...the capalet and hat I made for my daughter. Now I just need to get her to model it for me. She was a bit cranky and uninterested today. I sorta followed the Lion Brand pattern, but I used two strands of fun fur and size 8 circulars and modified the width and length, my strips are 3" rather than 3.5".


Here's the sock I've been going on and on about the last few days. Now to make it's mate. This was on the blue KK using the half double stitch. Next I think I'll try the flat stitch and perhaps a different yarn!



Here's my looming class progress so far. This is my KAL from my group. If interested you can click the link over in the project area. This is going to be a sample of different stitches. Not sure what I'll do with it when I'm finished!
