Happy Anniversary to Me!

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 Group is having a Chemo Hat drive for Bev Q at Bev's Country Cottage and so far 46 loomers have answered Dusty's pied piper call. The hats are all turning out great and here are a couple I made last weekend while I was sick in bed.

My goal is 5 hats by March 26th which I should see since I have 4 done as of today. 3 adult and 1 child.

For Loom Class, I took a baby bonnet class that Pam offered. It turned out cute but since I don't have any little girls needing one I will probably donate it to charity. I couldn't even find a doll to put it on lol The frog doesn't do the bonnet justice I included a side view too because I liked the way the yarn striped. It was also supposed to have pom poms on the ties, but I chose to leave them off.

I made a cell phone tote for an exchange and will post it as soon as I have it all together.

Keep on Looming.

Scrunchies

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. Well off to rest some more and knit.

It's a ladybug picnic

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. It is great to receive a package in the mail that is made especially for you.

Have a great Valentine's Day and Keep on Loomin'!

Happy Valentine's Day!

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 Loom Knitting Exchange group. A scrubby for Cyndi V. which I used the pattern from the Canadian Crafter site with tulle around my nylon yarn. And my towel topper which I have made before, but this time I did it with a flat stitch and I can't say I liked the way it turned out very well. I guess I just need to use more pegs, because it really shrunk up. The towel went to Kathleen R. I just hope she likes it.

Here is another dishcloth I made for February on Monthly Dishcloths KAL. I liked they way it turned out. Very valentiney (if that's a word lol) I can hardly wait until the 16th when they post the mid month KAL.

A while back I made a sheep (a very fat sheep, mind you) from Loom Class. This is how it turned out. The kids love to toss it anywhere they can which is great since it is so soft.
Well, I'll post later hopefully with the illusion dishcloth pattern.

My Celebrity Look Alikes

I was reading Isela's blog http://www.purlingsprite.com/ and she had this on her blog. I thought what the heck and went to My Heritage and tried it...here are my results.
