The first crafty thrift store find of the year.

A martha stewart knit and weave loom kit.  It was missing the crochet hook and yarn needles.  But it’s not like I don’t  have both running around the house.  

I used the kit to make a simple loom to weave a trivet before running errands today. 

Here it is finished. 

Here is the helper he’s 8 weeks old and super cute.  But always trying to be on my lap.

The Jumbo Spool Knitter

Black Pink And White Scarf!

This lovely scarf was made to be warn different ways and was my first project with a spool knitter I am very happy with the way it turned out.  I did not however get pics of me using the spool loom.  Although I found it quite simple and am really happy I purchased one.  Handles for purses will be forever even.  I purchased mine from Wallmart, for just under 6 dollars and with the patterns online for it the possibilities seem rather endless.It can also be warn, as a necklace, a Scarf, a neck warmer, or a headband.  This cute scarf is available here!

The colors are calling.
