More Scrunchies and First Attempt at Converting Knitting Pattern Hat


I've made a few more hair scrunchies 2 with Tutu yarn and the 3rd with Patons Twister ... I've been trying different pony tail holders inside both the Goody and also the polybands (I've found sometimes the regular Goody one's end up separating where they are joined).



Michelle had posted a link to a wonderful hand knit pattern for a Newborn Adjustable Hat ... I fell in love with this adorable hat so I am working on coverting it to a loom pattern. This is the first time I am trying to do this, and being that I'm fairly new to looming this is a challenge.

I am using CinDWoods Preemie Hat Loom. I want to try different cast-on and bind-off as well as adding a few more eyelets to make it gather a little nicer.

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Pics of some hats that I've made thanks to some wonderful patterns from Dusty @ www.dustysoriginals.com (the bottom 2 are Reversible Hats and the top Lime Pearl Band Hat). The 2 on the top right are Preemie Hats.

This one is another picture of the Pearl Band Hat.






Then I've also made some Hair Scrunchies ... The Berry colored one was made using Eyelash Yarn and the Purple one using Tutu Yarn thanks to Lisa @ www.loomknittingdesigns.com.

Pictures of some of my other scarves.





I've made quite a few Magic Scarves ... here are the pics ...












This last one here was made with double strands of yarn ... so it's much heavier.

A Coat for one of the babies ...


I decided to make a Dog Coat ... it came out cute ... however it was way to big for the one dog and a bit to tight for the other :)

My First Projects


Instead of starting my looming with hats ... I started with The Magic scarf ...

The first one I made came out a little shorter then I would have normally done but I still love it and use it.








My second project was also a Magic Scarf that I gave to my mom.

Then I tried a Reversible Scarf which came out pretty good ... I just messed up a little on the finishing.

Beginning to Blog

Well I have never done this before ... so this can be interesting ...

Since starting loom knitting so many of you have blogs that I have decided to try it.

I'm gonna take some pictures and post information on the projects I have done. Hopefully I will be able to get it all up by later today ...

Wish me luck :)
