Whew... Long time no blog

Although, I have been crafting! Sort of. School has kept me going here and there and everywhere. I have parent teacher conferences next week (all week) and then I'm off for a week, so maybe I'll get some crafting done!

First up are some old, old projects that I did way back when I was first learning how to knit. I was going to wait to psot these until they had their counterparts done, but they've been sitting my "take pictures" pile so long I got sick of it.

The first up is a pink and white hat & scarf set made from knitting looms (the missing counterpart is mittens)





The second is an orange/yellow/red fingerless mitt and scarf set (the missing counterpart is the hat). I'm still learning how to circular knit with needles, yes its not that hard, but I have a small head.





I just LOVE this yarn!

Loom Knitting Rocks My World

Braided Tube Scarf

Pattern by Provo Craft

I changed it slightly from their instructions, but I love it all the same. I wore it school right after I made it and my students (6th graders) just fell in love with it. They're always asking me why I'm not wearing it. I used all the tools listed on the pattern (I love provo crafts tools)

A close up of the braid:

This actually took me several attempts. I'd never braided five strands before.


Fingerless Gloves Attempt


This was my first attempt at fingerless gloves, my second "major" (at the time) project on the loom. They're a little too wide and not long enough but I learned from it and that's the important part. :)
