I finally figured out how to make the pictures so you can click on them to make them bigger.
This is one of my favorites of my Kids. Click on it to see it better. Then go back to the rest of the post and Click on a picture to see them better to. I have edited them all so it can be done.

Well I had surgery the end of April and them we got a new puppy and then We moved our daughter home from College. It has been busy since I last posted.I am working on a block pattern for the loom. I am trying to figure out how you design a block and get it to the size you want. I am trying to do a Fire cracker design. When I get it all worked out I will post it.
About this new puppy. We have a cat that has never been interested in yarn at all. So I have never had to worry about my stash. I think we have a dog that thinks she's a cat. She won't leave my yarn alone. So i gave her her own yarn as a toy. I haven't taken any yarn pictures with her yet. I will soon. I do have a out door Picture of her.

I love using the knifty knitter yarn I just can't get it here. Boo Hoo for ME! I guess I have to plan another trip to St. George to go to Roberts again. Maybe this summer!
1. purple and pink and a fuzzy yarn
2. a ribbon type of yarn and a fuzzy kind both are carmel
3. close up of the glove
4. I also made a matching scaf for the gloves.
5. This is what the ribbon yarn I used in the brown gloves looks like.
Gloves are made with the one loom mitten pattern under free patterns!
Hope this might help you see the differnce using different yarns can make in your projects.

We went to Utah for Spring Break with the Boys. I went to Roberts and feel in love with the Knifty Knitter Yarn. Roberts is the only place I have found it. I made a couple of pairs of gloves with it and working on a matching scarf for one of them and a Head scarf for my Daughter. Tomorrow I will post pics of the gloves and scarf too. Can't wait to go back and buy more. Probly this summer. Walmart is the only place for yarn purchases in our area. Everything else is 3 to 4 hours away. Booo Hooo. I can't travel without my looms. I only wish I could knit inthe car with out getting car sick. Keep Knitting

This is what I worked on while away for a few days.
sorry it is kinda hard to see. Just Click on the pic and you can see it bigger. It is the kate the cat pattern.
I did it on the green knifty knitter. I am going to use different shades of brown and Tan and Cream and make a afghan for our Kitty to put on our bed to protect the Quilt my Mom made us. I haven't wanted to put on because the cat loves to sleep on our bed. Now Ican make a cute afghan for the bed that will match the colors inthe Quilt.
I found the pattern at
http://www.knittingknonsense.com/
This site has alot of different blocks to knit.
To do the blocks on the loom you need to be aware that when the Block pattern says knit across you need to purl instead of knit.
Hope you have fun with the blocks at this site.
