The kids and I have found a new crafty hobby that I hadn't tried yet, Loom Knitting.
My daughter Jenny took a knitting class in school this past year and wanted to buy some yarn for a project to keep herself busy. We went out looking and came home with a round knitting loom and some yarn. She's working on a hat between playing video games and visiting with her friends, her project is on the pillow beside her. I've made two so far, I ah don't play video games. The kids are modeling them here for us.
This is a photo of the first hat in the process. I had to go to You Tube to figure out how to use the loom, the directions that came with it were upside down and left handed for me. I'm a visual learner...
I have a feeling I'll be working on one of these today riding in a car!
My friend Dagmar and I are heading to Las Vegas soon for a Copic Intermediate Certification class and taking a long weekend get away. My husband and kids will be taking care of each other at home till I return.
Thanks for visiting my blog today -
Cute hats! That's a nice craft for the kids. Hope we get to see more hats in the future. Have a safe trip and have fun. Hope everything is in one piece when you get back home. LOL
