If you haven't seen this it is really funny and so true.I also thought after almost 7 months of not posting, even though I have been busy knitting and crocheting, I thought I'd better post.

I've been on a roll making stitch markers and with the contest I had, I thought why not make more. Here are a few that I have come up with and thought I'd sell. More to come.They come in a set of four with the large marker to be used at the beginning of your work. These are great to use for circular knitting, lace knitting to mark pattern repeats and looming. All are glass beads with metal charms

It is starting to definitely look like spring around here now. The crocus are up and my tulips and daffodils are starting to peek through the dirt. I can't wait. Warm weather is just around the corner! I was driving up our driveway this morning after going to an early morning appointment and saw the wild turkeys we hear every morning in our neighbors yard. I ran in to get the camera and

Kim Gambill is the winner of the Candy Heart contest for the stitch markers. Believe it or not there were 49 little candy hearts in the glass and Kim guessed 47. Congratulations Kim!!! This was fun. I hope to have more for other things to just to keep things lively on my end. Maybe next time I'll do a couple of skeins of yummy yarn. Stay tuned.Keep on looming/knitting and have a great day!

I know, I know. It's been a week since I posted that it was my blog's anniversary and I was going to have a contest for 6 stitch markers, well I finally have them finished and a contest to go with it. YEA for me! This is quite an accomplishment since I usually just start a project, become bored with it and start another. oh well.Here are the stitch markers you can win. They fit up to size

Well it's been a whole year since I've started blogging....where has time gone? I wish I had more to show for it. Maybe this year will be different. Since it's my blog's anniversary I'm going to have a little contest. Not sure yet what the contest will be yet, but it will be for some stitch markers (set of 6) and I will get a picture of them posted within the next few days.Loom Knitting Newbies

I finally finished the scrunchies I was working on for my daughter's basketball team. I used the pattern on Off the Looms site. Really easy pattern. I knit 6 rows before turning up. Most of the girls are wearing them. Of course when the team finally wins their first game, I can't be there because I am sick and confined to my bed. I guess I can thank all three of the kids for this crud.

For an Valentine exchange I participated in on KKEXnMore I made these ladybug stitch markers which works on a fine gauge loom or size US5-7 needles. They were a lot of fun and I hope Heather K. likes them. I also crocheted her a ladybug bookmark which I found on the web. This exchange was a lot of fun to do. I am actually thinking of having a similar one on Loom Knitting Exchange for spring.

Hope your day is filled with no calorie treats! I know mine will be as I'm sure my DH won't bring me home anything good. If he does it will be a miracle. We just don't do Valentine's Day in our house. Well I thought I'd post pics of my finished projects I've made before they get lost or I forget about them. Here are a couple of the things I made for the Kitchen Item Exchange on the

My daughter had bought some yarn Paton's Be Mine in pink for a baby hat, well it didn't make it to that....I knew she wasn't going to make a hat with it, so I suggested a recorder case since hers was plastic and ripping. She was all for that and now two of her best friends want one and we have the yarn just waiting to be loomed up. I think it took about 3-4 hours to make and that might be a

I have been busy looming and knitting away for the last month or so. It was so cold here in the single digits for a week a while back, I thought I was going to lose some of my furry babies (bunnies) it finally warmed up to 32 degrees with sun and no snow!!!! The bunnies seem to like it better too. Now we have finally warmed up to the upper 40s....yea!!!!.I knitted a few dishcloths such as the

Toddler mittens finally finished. I used Lynn's 30 peg fine gauge loom and her basic mitten pattern along with the 10 peg fine gauge thumb buddy to make Noah a pair of mittens. I used Lion Brand's Magic Stripes sock yarn.To the left, I added a tag board for anyone wanting to chat or leave me a message. Keep on looming!!

I figured I better post since it's been awhile. The Fair Isle Mitten does have a mate see...I finally got of my b*** and took a picture. While I was doing that I manage to take pictures of the convertible mitten that I am making with the thumb attached. And while I'm on the subject of mitten's, I am making my son, who is 2, a pair of mittens on the 30 peg fine gauge round loom I received from

Here is a mitten I finished (other one is done too and will post the pair) for September's KAL for Markman Looms Yahoo Group. I used Lynn Markman's Basic Mitten pattern, btw, is simple to follow and modified it a little to fit my hand. I also used a fair isle pattern from the book "1000 Great Knitting Motifs".

Looks like I'm going to have a busy end of summer. I have entered a loomed bookmark exchange which I hope to post progress on it soon. Deadline to mail is Aug. 25, so it doesn't leave me much time. I am also participating in a Mystery Sock KAL and will be knitting on dpn's "Leaves of Grass" Anklet by Marilyn Roberts. Again I will try and post progress on the sock...I am going to have to

Well it's finally finished. My "In the Sculptured Garden" Noni bag is finally done! I think I am addicted to her patterns...super simple and easy to make on large needles. Here is what it looked like before felting.In pieces at left...it called for a vine (i-cord) and three flowers, but I just wanted them on one side so I did only two and 5 leaves, but only did 3.

I have on needles right now a turtleneck shell which will probably be modified to a mock turtleneck. I am about 4 inches into it right now and hope to get it done before our County fair in July so I can enter it along with some loom knitted items. I have another bag in the works and will get it up as soon as I get it out of my head and down on paper along with it knitted out. Here is the Fabulous

I been making bags, and felting bags which I am totally addicted to. Lynn Markman of Markman Farms (http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/markman_looms) is having a Spring pattern contest and I have been trying to come up with patterns for that in the last couple of weeks. If you belong to the group check out the folder. I have come up with a woven bottom mesh bag and am working on a felted gift bag.

It's a Miracle!Saturday Morning we had a litter of six holland lop bunnies born early (I didn't get the nest box in the doe's cage in time) so she had them on the wire. The great thing was we were able to save 3 out of the six...they were ice cold, but with a hair dryer and a heating pad we were able to get them breathing again.I am looming a pair of toddler socks from the pattern Isela from
