Over
the last few days I decided to try something new and different for
me. A couple of weeks ago, I bought myself the Knifty Knitter Round
Loom Series while on a trip to Hobby Lobby to get some more luscious
Yarn. I started simple with a child's hat. It is worked on the red
loom, with two strands of yarn held together. It's not that it is
hard to do or even very complicated, but to me it seems to be easier
just to knit regularly. I think I am also faster knitting on a round
knitting needle or two regular needles. The other thing I noticed is
that my hands seemed to hurt faster holding on to the loom. Now that
might just be me, maybe because it was more awkward to me. Well Uncle
Arthur is letting me know that I might not want to do that again
anytime soon. But here is the finished product. What do you all
think? Did it at least come out ok? I call it Mr. Halloween (haha so original).
It got a little to stretched on the stayre-head, but I didn't have a child's size. I also think now that I should have made the bottom border wider. Oh well, it was my first try after all.
My second project for the weekend was another scarf. Once again knitted with Deborah Norville Everyday soft worsted, color "Moss". It took two skeins.
The pictures were taken outdoors in front of my employers house. Don't you just love the deer? Well it made a good model for the scarf and the hat. Even Deer need to stay warm, right?
I also did a little browsing through this book: 400 Knitting stitches. There are some very beautiful stitches in this book, but to me some look very complicated. I plan on trying out a few of them in the near future. Wish me luck. I might improve my knitting skills yet.
Well for today I bit you all Farewell. See you next time!
