New Looms

My Neenaw taught me how to knit hats on a loom a few weeks ago...I finally went out and bought the set of looms yesterday....4 looms in a pack at Michaels (hook and needle are included)...$14.99 and use a readily available coupon...for 40% off...is a bang up deal! ! ! Making these while watching tv...is a new MUST...I'll make them for friends...sell a few on Etsy and donate some to the local Childrens Hospital...that's what my Neenaw does..minus the Etsy part. Want to jump in with me...Heather, Denita, Britt, Paula, Sharon, Joi???...Let me know...this is easy and I can't break the looms so...I think we can give this a fair shake.

Knitting Gone Bad

Hmmm...this was suppose to be a scarf?!!! Well I tried yarn that was TOO thick and it jammed my machine last night. So I scrapped it and grabbed normal yarn...and it was still jammed somewhere...so I stopped and somehow twisted and turned until it turned into a headband looking thing...don't worry I will NOT be wearing this. And I must open the machine today and see what the problem is.

Re-Think the brown scarf..

Ok...I was looking through my ETSY favorites...and saw this...

ClickIt Green Collar in Etsy Shoppe iLE AiYE

...which sparked the idea...why not sew the ends together of the brown scarf I just made(on Monday scroll down to see it)...and wrap it around my neck twice

What? Oh now you want one... Another thought this would be easy to do with an old sweater...cut a sleeve off...sew the ends together...same look. And I am getting some leather from Michael's (with my Christmas giftcard) to add on the little strap...

I bet your Grandma didn't make you one of these for Christmas!

A Little Blue Hat

Another attempted little project...this hat just needs 2 little puffs and a baby boy...

Brown Scarf

2nd attempt...looks a bit like a dog chewed on the ends...but my kit didn't have any knitting needles...so I did the best I could...AND let me say I HAVE NEVER KNITTED BEFORE!!!

Knitting Machine

My sister got me the coolest Christmas present...a knitting machine...it's for ages 6 and up (I qualified by a mere 24 years...! And can skip the step where it says ask a grown up to help you with the scissors)
I opened it up an hour ago...read the directions and literally CRANKED out my first scarf in less than an hour...(please ignore my no makeup and fleece jacket over my pj's...we did go to Dunkin Donuts drive thru like this at 10:00 a.m.)

I'm trying with non-fuzzy brown yard after I switch the clothes over in the laundry room. I'll keep you posted!
