I got this super chunky yarn (Bernat Blanket) and had a bitch of a time figuring out with to do with it. I started a cowl using 2 pegs for 1 stitch, but it was too big, and a pain in the ass. I tried the mobius shawl pattern from this book but hated it. So […]

I’ve been addicted to sideways hats for a big. This is when instead of making it on the round, you make it in short rows in wedges and seam together at the end. Above are 3 different hats, one is called Sidestreet ((the first and last pics) which is a pattern for $3.99 on Ravelry, the
I’ve loved the Nymphalidea pattern that was re-written for the loom since I saw it. It’s free, too. It’s done with lace or fingering yarn, but it would probably work with anything. I have my handy Cottage Loom (118 pegs, 3/8″ gauge, 20″ long, fully adjustable) and the pattern calls for around 120 pegs, so

I love this fucking pattern book. It’s called “Kitten’s Lost Mittens”. I have a kitten (well, she just turned a year old on July 5th, but she’ll always be a baby kitty to me) named Mittens. There are three patterns, one for a pair of fingerless mitts with a small thumb opening, one for a

Some more Invisible Loom projects. Two pairs of Little Kitty Mitts, and one Hot Buttered Rum Hat. I used my Bufanda 44 peg (it has either 22 or 44, you can add pegs, so with 44 pegs it’s 3/8″ spacing, I used 30 pegs) for both sets of mitts. I made the yellow set for

Another Invisible Loom project, I’ve had the pattern for a while but never used it. These are fingerless mitts knit sideways with a clever thumbhole done in the pattern. It’s great! I’m going to be making lots. Action shots! On the loom

Haven’t been blogging much, my apologies. Working on a yoga sock e-book and working on a loom knit pattern of sideways yoga socks (not knit in the round) for better custom sizing. I’ll release both for free if I ever finish them. This is an Invisible Loom project, it isn’t blocked yet. I used 50
Here’s some pics of recent works. Seafoam Stitch Scarf on the 82 peg Bufanda loom at 3/8″ spacing. 21 pegs used. Started July 15th, around 8pm. You can’t see the sparkle in the yarn, but it is Teal Sparkle, and it glitters in the light. Yoga socks, size medium. Will post a pattern later. Done

I made some stitch markers with lobster clamps a bit ago, but found they were too big or too small for my looms. So I picked up a package of 12mm split rings from Michael’s tonight, compared it to one of their (Loops n’ Threads) looms, which is bigger than the peg on the CinDwood

I started a basic shawl with Patons Lace yarn, here’s its progress. I have one section (all decreases) left to knit, and its done! This is the Leonie shawl, which I finally got around to blocking. I love it! And finally, some Cheetah mitts, which I’ve been trying to get right for a while, and
