I have been slowly working on this blanket. So far I have used two skeins of Lion Brand Yarn Nature's Choice. I love the feel of the yarn, but the skeins are very expensive and very small.

SLoom

I have started an Afghan using Lions Brand Nature's Choice Organic Cotton.  The feel of the yarn is incredible. I am just about done 2 skeins and this is what it looks like. It's going to take a lot of skeins.  I use the rubber bands to keep the yarn on the pegs.

Weave Hat on the Knitting Loom

Very Cold outside today so decided to stay in today and knit up a waeve hat. Love, love how these can be done in a day!

Stretch bands for counting stitches

I am making a basket weave hat and to help me remember if I need to knit or purl I have marked my pegs with the stretch band braceklet loops. These work great!!!I triple wrap the first peg and then just slide on the others.  The loops are big enough so it never gets caught in the yarn or hook.

Perfect way to bind off hats.



This works really well for binding off hats. 

Hat made using the KB Adjustable Hat loom

I made this hat using my new KB Adjustable knitting loom. It took about 4 hours. I used the large loom and its the perfect fit! The KB loom is really nice, perfect size. Love it.

Kb Adjustable Hat Loom

I purchased this loom last night and started to make another hat. I think I am going to really like this loom. It is easier to figure out the hat sizes and the pegs are very sturdy.
