Loom Hat Finished

     I finally managed to follow the tutorial on how to finish off the hat. Looming is amazingly easy. Anyone can do it. You Tube is amazing at showing you how to start it off, do different stitch patterns and finish it off. It's a nice change from crochet. If carpel tunnel is setting in from too much crochet, this is a nice change. HAHA
     So this was the picture on the loom.

     And the finished product. 

   And I had a nice surprise in the mail from my lovely talented friend in Ohio, her handmade jewellery. I am trying to convince her she needs to setup and Etsy shop to sell her wonderful items. Thanks so much sissy!! Love them.

I also got a chance to crochet and cozy up with the cat.  Nothing is more cozier. 

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!

Happy New Year!!

Where has the time gone. I wish everyone a Happy New Year.  Let's try to make this one a good year and focus on being kind to all and being less selfish, especially while behind the wheel of a car. LOL.

I got myself a round loom kit this year with a gift card from Michaels.  I tried the straight loom this last month and found it addictive and easy.  So I started a hat and even learned two different style stitches thanks to You Tube, one being a purl stitch.  So far here's my progress.

I also joined a CAL (crochet a long) on Ravelry for a square a month.  My intention this year is to make another blanket for single bed.  I found doing the ripple takes more time and hoping that by making the squares and joining them will result in a blanket faster as I am such a patient person, not.  I was checking my blog roll on Bloglovin and came across this granny a day post on Ali's Blog.  My best intention will be to try and do a square a day but somehow life may not always permit it and can try for a few or more a week.  I had already started some small squares, so I guess I can continue with that.

I am also working on a project for myself where I came across the idea on Pinterest.  This site creates some serious addiction problems.  More to come upon completion.

I would like to eventually post a mosaic of all my projects this year.  Maybe tomorrow.

Looming

I finally decided to try out my loom to get a scarf made for a gift. This is my first time using one. I watched mikeysmail you tube video to learn how to get it started. Chunky yarns are suggested giving the spaces between pegs are quite wide. This is all in one day. Maybe just a bit more to go until second ball of yarn is done.
