Knitting Projects

Bubs learned how to finger knit on YouTube. Ahh. Technology. He made this flower after we watched this tutorial.

And, now that the snow (Oh no! Not snow!) has arrived, my fingers have been busily making hats.

This bottom one was way cuter in real life.

These hats are loom knitted. (I purled the bottom few rows and knitted the rest.) The flowers are crocheted. I learned how to make them on YouTube, too. Here's the link, if you're interested.

Craft Love

I obviously haven't been crafting a whole lot since Why-Why was born, but I did make a scarf and hairclips this week for a little girl's birthday.

Have you used knifty knitters? I LOVE these things. You can make a hat or scarf or blanket or whatever in an evening while watching a movie. The white scarf I made was so quick. Basically, I went back and forth between two basic stitches I learned on Youtube. I didn't want to count rows, so I didn't. I just switched stitches whenever I felt like it. Then at the end, I added a fringe. I think I learned that from Youtube, too.

The clips are as simple as they look. I cut out felt hearts and hot glued them to buttons and hair clips. Honestly, they took less than five minutes.

It was nice to use some creative skills again!
