Knit Some Gators

Aren't these mini, knitted gators just too cute for words?

It's a FREE pattern!

What I'm Working On Now

I kinda took a vacation from loom knitting for about a month because of my hand/fingers hurting. But,...

I'm now currently working on a set of coasters using a fine gauge loom and cotton yarn.



I've been watching a lot of video demonstrations lately on crochet and needle knitting that makes me want to get my knitting needles and crochet hooks out again and start a project for both.

A Funky, Felted Design

Awhile back I tried out for the first time myInnovations Knitting Machine and ended-up with a piece with mistakes (trying to master the learning curve), but I decided to felt it anyway to possibly make something out of it since it was an interesting piece - that is, interesting for felting. I just kinda went with what I ended-up with and designed this FUNKY money/credit card/cell phone pouch. There just happened to be a loop (that was never planned) in the middle to use with a button for closure. The button is from a set that I bought at a Dollar Tree store.

The Knitting Machine Installation

This was quite amusing and interesting at the same time... Check it out if you're a knitter.

Steampunkin' & Loom-Knittin'

Well, things were looking-up for awhile in regards to sales, but now nothing.

I've been making some Steampunk jewelry that I'll be listing in one of my shops soon. When I first started seeing it around I wasn't all that fond of it. I guess it just grows on you esp. when you have access to things to make it with like I do. I'll also post a group pic of it all here too.

I've also loom-knitted a couple of pairs of mittens - one pair for my oldest brother and one pair for me. The pic of the above pair is his. I still have to sew-up the thumb on one mitten before mine are done.

I found the pattern for the mittens here:
