Creations from my looms

I AM A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!!!! Ok is only an article for a loom knitting magazine. But it is the only loom knitting e-zine that I am aware of and it is of course the best! You can look at my article here found at Loom Knitters Circle e-zine.

Isela Phelps and Denise Layman are the editors and publishers of this wonderful e-zine that brings loom knitting to the forefront of the crafting world. Both of these women are published authors who have brought an old craft of loom knitting back to the public and gave it a nice fresh face. Through Isela's videos for crafting on the loom, many people including myself have learned not only how to loom knit, but also how to convert regular knitting patterns, read charts, and do many wonderful stitches that would not have been possible otherwise. Denise is a complete whiz at being the editor of Loom Knitting Circle! She has a very fresh blog at Knit Chat called Knitting Without Needles . Through her talents, this magazine has 4 seasons of articles and patterns for new loomers and old ones as well. Together they have modernized the loom knitting craft! No more just hats and scarves! Thanks to these women and many, many contributors with wonderful patterns to try, the possibilities are endless!


Ladies, thank you from the bottom of my writer's heart! I am hoping to do another article for the spring edition, if time and thought patterns permit!

So to all of you who want to write something, or try something, hold your breath, jump right in! You will never know until you give it a shot.
Til next time! Happy Holidays to you and yours, and happy looming as well!

More loomed stuff

Well tomorrow never came... thankfully though Thanksgiving came and went, uneventfully. Had a nice time at family dinner even though, my spirits just weren't in it this year. Maybe Christmas will be better.....

On to other things....

I have been slowly working on the squares for the San Diego Wildfire Blanket Project. I feel that I am extremely slow for some reason at times... but I am cranking them out. I added them to the slide show above so should see them soon.

I just love my KISS Loom! Mine is getting broken in properly with this square project, that is for certain! What a joy to work with! I finally said, Self, yeah you with the bewildered look on your face... It is just a loom not a lion on a leash! And so my first KISS won't be my last KISS!

So making squares, fitting in Holidays, pushing my 16 year old through high school because his brain is in stall mode at the moment, things are pretty hectic around here!

Until next time, take care, be safe, and find something in your day that you enjoy.... then DO IT!
