I'm extremely excited to share my latest passion project!

I’m an English Teacher. At the beginning of November, I asked my students to design their own winter hats. I told them we would be displaying their drawings in the hall, but instead, I recreated their designs over the Thanksgiving and Holiday breaks.

My students are still unaware. They will be receiving these today, our first day back from break due to snow. I cannot wait!

I saw someone on here did fingerless gloves with these tiny hearts and I loved it! So I watched the YouTube video and thought to myself, i bet I could do that on a hat and 3 days of frustration later, I LOVE the finished product. And also I learned how to use my pom pom maker and stopped making them by hand and it turns out so much better.

She has low vision and just likes to work simple hats in e wrap stitches. Show her some love!

My first attempt at loom-knitting a fair isle scarf!

KB 28” loom Anthem Cascade Yarns Designed by me

This is the exact same labeled color and weight of yarn and exact same loom, but two different skeins and the color pattern is coming out totally different? I'm trying to make leg warmers but they look mismatch. Is this user error or is something wrong with the yarn?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

The start (top left in pic 1) looks rough, hopefully i can be more consistent in my next attempt.

I've been jealous of the crochet giant octopus patterns ever since crafty intentions posted theirs so I decided to make my own! This guy took a lot of trial and error and about 25 hours to knit and sew together but I'm so happy with how it turned out!! Dress form at the end for scale Let me know what you think 😊

Made with wool-ease fisherman and cranberry!

they turned out SO cute and so sturdy! i used this tutorial: https://youtu.be/Znv7j4kRXAE?si=PqsOhJk_L2KhHIK3 but just used it for the ears! made a regular beanie rather than the version made in the video!

I’m so proud of this one. The best part is it involves minimal sewing! I only had to sew the top part along the arms/shoulders, everything else is connected on the loom as you go.

Made using Bernat blanket yarn on a flexiloom, it’s so cozy and warm. I’m planning on wearing it to a Canadian game!

I’m going to make a tutorial video but that will probably take some time. If people are interested I will post it here whenever that is done :)

Here's a brief rant...

I make hats and sell them so I can afford to make hats for people I love, people who need a hat, and people who would appreciate them. I have only been loom knitting for about six months. At this point I have made hundreds of hats and the majority I just give away. The gratitude I receive is worth more to me than the money.

Lately I have been getting asked by people to make specific hats and it just feels crappy. Hat in the picture for example... That's two colors so 7 bucks worth of yarn (Hobby Lobby. Hate the company but I turn their yarn into something good.) I e-wrap every round twice to get the thickness I like and is necessitated by Minnesota winters. I make the pompoms too. That took me several binge watched episodes of "From" to finish yesterday. I finished it and thought "this is too nice to give away." I still gave it away and the lady said "thank you" and was all happy about it but that thank you didn't have the same effect as the thanks I got from the first two hats I gave her.

I'm a half disabled and unemployed electrician. Why don't folks understand that time and yarn aren't free?

Anyways... Now I'll go back to not being able to say "NO" and making more hats. Just had to vent a bit.

Thanks for reading and may your year be blessed with no splice skeins.

Not perfect, but I tried! I’ll give it another go soon.

25 looms in what appear to be like-new condition, all from Cindwood Looms, and each was priced between $1.99 and $2.99. With discounts, I got the whole shebang for ~$50. Guess I better get started learning how to loom knit!

Finished set of mittens (second time ever), double knitted scarf (first time) , and extra thick hat for my mom's Christmas gift.

This scarf was an 8 wk. mystery knit-along (MKAL) on Ravelry. I used a custom made 1/8 in. guage KISS double-knitting loom and fingering/fine weight yarn. It's reversible and very soft :))

Used a 36 peg loom, did it in 3 panels. Boarder is a garter stitch and everything else is e wrap. Yarn is all Bernat Blanket. I’m very proud of this! Although I’m not sure how to hide the yarn on the backside 😅

It took me a month longer than I had hoped but oh well, pretty good turnout for taking such a big project on as a beginner. I need to sew in the strands and this thing is a wrap! The teen has already ran off with it. Its quite alright, makes me feel good that he appreciates my handiwork.

Now on the hunt for other beginner level projects.

It's been over two years since I've knot anything. I decided today that I'd start again.

72X74, 8 cakes of Bernat Blanket Perfect Phasing in forest. Used my KB infinity loom and it took me almost a year, working on and off. If I put my mind to it I could have finished about a cake a week but I can’t focus like that. 😆 i made it for my hubs, he’s been stealing the one I made for myself.
