Hey Everyone I have been really tied up with alot of things the last year! I am back and will be posting more regularly here. I am still looming and still love it. I want to thank everyone who has posted comments here. I have gotten alot of comments on the one loom Mitten. Thanks abunch

After I started my sock I found this Knitting Thimble at Wal-Mart.

  I was have trouble with loosing the yarn tension when I would do the purl stitchs. I would use the tip of my finger to hold the loop and I would loose the yarn. This thimble help me keep track of the yarn and knitting went faster. As you can see there are to curling hooks on it. I used the one up front for the yarn. If you were using two differnet colors of yarn and changing back and forth you would hook one color on one of the hooks and the other on the other hook. I am so glad I found this little knitting gadget.

Kitchen Set

 These are both knitted on the Blue Knifty Knitter

I used Cotton yarn.

Use two stands of yarn.

Knit using the e- wrap

 Dish Soap Cover

 Row 1 - 10 knit

Turn brim knit off

Row 11- 27 knit

Row 28 mock crochet stitch around

Row 29 - 36 knit

Take off with gathering method ( don’t pull to tight you need to make the hole big enough to fit  around the bottle top)

Then I crochet a cord for it. I didn’t keep track of how many chain stitches i did. Do make it long enough tie around the bottle. I did chain a length and then a chain stitch back in all the chains.

Then weave the cord you made in and out of the moch crochet row. Slip over a dish soap bottle and tie a bow

Towel Holder

Rows 1- 10 Knit

Turn to make brim

Rows 11 - 20 Knit

Take off with gathering stitch leave hole big enough to fit the I-Cord

make I-cord about 10 to 12 inches long tie both ends together to make a loop

insert cord though the hole and then loop towell over the icord under  the top part and

pull the I cord tight .

Now you have a item that looks like abell holding a towel. you can put it on a knob or you

can loop it to fit on a bar type handle of you drawers or cuboards. I like this because i can

change the towel when needed and not have to change the top .

I finally finshed my first pair of socks.

made with 10 sock loom from DA

and I used clown self stripping yarn.

  I had so much fum making them. I already have the yarn for the next pair of socks . They will have a higher cuff of them.

Wow. I just got my two new looms. I got a Extra Fine Gauge Sock loom and a Lepersy bandage loom. I started working on the lerpersy bandage loom and when I get it long enough I will take pictures and I will be starting on the sock loom as soon as I go and get some markers for it.

 Booties done on small gauge bootie loom.  

Can’t wait to do another set for another friend of mine. Patterns comimg soon for the set.

We just  had a yarn store open up in town. Yeah!!!!! I am so excited about it. I guess anyone living here would be excited about it.  Before this store opened up, all we had was wal-mart to buy yarn at. Recently our Wallmart store cut their yarn selection by 2/3. IT is a 4 hour drive to any other yarn store. So this is going to be fun. When traveling I have gone to yarn shops and everything is wonderful. I just can’t afford much there. This yarn shop has both the nice expensive yarn and yarn that is less expensive too. I bought some red hearts yarn “Hunny” it is so soft. It was calling out to me. So I bought a skein of it to do some booties or something small to see how I like it. I got home and found out that my friend had had her baby a week early a little boy. I am making booties for  him. I have one  done and going to start the other. I think I will make matching hand mittens and then go back buy more of it and make a hat. This Hunny yarn is so soft.  IF you haven’t tried it you should.  I will post pictures soon.
