New cat toys

Wicked is enjoying his new cat toys I have crocheted lately.

Knitting

Obsessed with knitting again lately. Made 2 really soft scarves with Lion's Homespun--my new fav bulky yarn.

Firsts

My very first loomed project...man, I thought I was so cool when I finally finished this hat. Now I can turn them out in a hour. No longer a fan of the big brim either.

okay, okay

I had every good intention when starting this blog. Updating my yarn projects daily, getting a group of readers, having a great time. Well, my fault that it's been less than exciting here for the last month. Life gets in the way of projects. I've been looming for a few months now and creating lots of accessories for my online store which has lots of hits and no "stranger" sales. Meaning I'm only still selling to family and friends. Maybe it's the time of year? Not sure. I belong to a bunch of Yahoo groups and have been busy hoarding yarn and patterns in hopes of making lots of new things. Above is the very first thing I ever knitted. A bell. Supposedly for the Christmas tree, but mine turned into a cat toy.

New stitches

So, now that I am an e-wrap "expert" (hahaha) I watched some YouTube videos and learned how to cast on--which I love for hats--and the knit and purl stitches which I think are hard. I'm determined to knit a flat panel on the round KK looms, but I'm intimidated already.

I actually went back to needle knitting today to give my hands a break of sorts (although it's probably harder on them) after knitting 20 hats this week. I got a request to do baby sweaters but I'm not up to that level yet.

Brand new

Finally decided to breakdown and try blogging to show my new knitted, crocheted, and loomed items. Never did this before so be nice as I try to learn. Check out my store at http://loomit/ecrater.com
