I'm a Knifty Knitter!

[calzephyr]

We went to Michael's for Boxing Day (50% off coupon, woo!) and I finally bought a Knifty Knitter round loom set. They always have them on sale, and I decided that for $12.99, I couldn't go wrong. I always thought it would be too hard and it would end up in the pile of forsaken craft projects ;-) I had something like this when I was a kid, it was a fashion doll dress maker, but the instructions were vague and it didn't have a handy pick to pull the loops over with.

In a couple of hours, I had a hat! It's a tad small though, so I'm making another one with the larger circle. I'm so proud of myself - I love textiles so much, but my lack of skill has always made them off limits. Now I can make all the sparkly Eye Lash and Fun Fur hats I want :-D

Ah...from what I gather, you can knit back and forth on the round ones as well, but I think that might take some practice. I went back to Michael's and got the long loom set as well as a little pattern book. Michael's is sneaky - there were three 50% off coupons in their flyer, and the last one had to be used by today.

I used the blue (smallest) loom to make my scarf - it's just a giant double sided tube. There's a pattern for fingerless gloves on their website, but mitts would be cooler :-D
