Yarn Crafts...

Here are some Christmas ornaments that I crocheted:

Those are beautiful. We have a lady here who does snowflakes. Yours look similar to those. What kind of yarn and what size needle do you use?

Those are fun to crochet too.

 

[BarbaraJean]

Wow!!! Those are great!

I can verify that the yellow one is lovely!

Size 10 thread, not sure on the hook size. I like them because they look antique, victorian.

Alrighty...since you all have been posting up pics...here are a couple more of my projects...

I've always liked these bags...big enough to carry everything!

Mom went to Hobby Lobby this week...didn't get anything though. But she's got a $30 gift card to spend and I'm sure she's planning on getting some yarn.

Have you seen this, folks?

Thanks Criada...I'm going to start on one this afternoon. I've become a little bored with my crocheting, so a nice simple knit scarf will be just the right thing, methinks.

I've finished another afghan for our church craft sale. My 16 year old really likes this one so I'm wondering if it will really make it to the sale.

I suppose you could always make another one.

Those are great Joykins. Thanks for sharing. The little sweater is so cute...as is the little one in the blue hat. That last hat looks like a lot of work.

I've always wanted to learn to knit or crochet, but I am left handed, and everyone that has tried to teach me just can't seem to do it. I gave up. I sew and quilt.

I have been looking for someone who wants to loom knit. It is soooo easy. I am positive that I can teach you on line. Are you game?

Oh, of course!!! It's tomorrow, right???

It sure is.

I would love to learn to knit. I usually donate my quilts to the *baby boot camp* program they have for new Marine/Navy parents, but since I work full time, it is hard to get them done in a decent time-frame. Is the loom knitting faster?

I love keeping my hands busy. When I am idle, that is when issues arise. It's never a good thing. I'm really excited to learn.

It is wonderful. You could make a hat a day in only an hour or two. Scarves take a bit longer, probably a total of 8 hours. Everything else, flat pieces for pocket books, sweaters, and afghans, will take a bit longer depending on the project.

It is an ancient craft, but much of the knowledge has been lost. It has just in the last several years made a comeback, and more advanced stitches are being found every day.

I recently came across a knit to loom converter where you can take regular knitting patterns and convert them to the loom.
