So, I told you in my Happy Valentines Day post, that I would be learning how to knit, so - I did! well, I learned how to crochet, crochet with beads, and finger crochet. I also learned loom-knitting, it's not really knitting, but it looks cool! They make looms for hats and scarves. There are videos for getting started, doing it, and for casting off [finishing], on YouTube. In the box where you put your search queue, search Mikeyssmail, yeah - it's an odd name, but he has really god videos for the hats, but for the scarves - search Joccy101, she [even though she's like, 10] is easy to understand, "Mikey" - however is not very good with the scarves, but is great with the hats! you will need a nut-pick, and a good sized abundance of yarn. Below, are some photos of the few items that I have created so far:

These were finger crocheted, the one with beads, is a bracelet,and the one without, is a bookmark. |

This, is a [teal] hat, that I loom knitted. |

This, being a beautiful scarf, I cannot take credit for - My great sister Sarah is nearing the end of creating it. |
You can buy the loom set which contains one large loom, one medium loom, one small loom, and one freakishly small loom, all in a set for about, $12 dollars at Wal*Mart. and the yarn is at an average price at
Michaels craft Store, I'm not sure about
Wal*Mart.
Wow, Laura... these are really cool! I've heard it's really hard to make these sort of things... So nice job! I like the new blog format.... Maybe you can add these sort of things to your business!
