Georgia Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I knew I should never have peeked over here! I confess, I have been admiring everyone's handiwork and now look...I went and bought a knitting loom. It's my first piece and I know it's not very good, but I want to show this as a warning to all other lurkers in this section! It could suck you in, too! Beware!ps the model is way cuter than the hat.

Georgia Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 My grandbaby is cute, the hat is so so. Yes, I did have fun making it. And I was looking up patterns to make with the looms. I tried to resist, but it looked like so much fun... Let's see if I get any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asheebeans Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 GREAT JOB!!! Aren't those looms addictive? I am almost done with a pumpkin I am knitting. I am going to felt him up today and start on the stem later. (p.s. in case you are interested I am using the green knitting loom, and orange wool yarn.) I used two strands as one because it was a thinner yarn, and used a basic "e" wrap stitch. (just like the hat stitch) I am going to use the open end as the bottom, and sew it closed, because my cast on looks horrible anyway LOL. The working end I will use a gathering bind off. Then later that is where I will add my loomed and stuffed stem. I've heard you can stuff these guys before felting, but I am afraid to. You can actually put heavy items in the bottom such as a small bag of sand and make it a doorstop too. I will post pics if you would like! (I'm such an enabler! :whistle: ) If you would like more patterns/tips/etc. I HIGHLY recommend the book by Isela Phelps called "The Loom Knitting Primer". I bought mine off of Crafter's Choice and am so thrilled I did! I refer back to it constantly, it is a really good guide with clear instructions and good pictures too. I hear Isela is working on another book, too, and can't wait to get that one! Have fun looming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Candelishis Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Last winter my best friend had a baby girl, and I made her a hot pink hat and a baby scarf!!! LOL...We decided that a baby scarf was not very practical, persay, but if she was anything like her mom, that wouldn't matter because it was sooo cute!!
