One down, lots to go

Finished up the hooded scarf.  Excited to give it to my friend next week before she heads to colder climes.  I used  the small knifty knitter round loom to do the main scarf, adding stitches to make the hood part in the middle, then I stretched the hood part onto the large loom and added a rim to it.  Happy with the way it turned out.  I found a whole bunch of knitting loom patterns online to try out in the future.  I posted them to my pinterest boards if anyone wants to give it a try.  Here's a pic of my project:

Time to start my next project!  Well, not a "project" per se.  Just something I need to do before I forget.  lol.  Have to take in a pretty sparkly silver skirt I got for my munchkin in a size too large.  Then it's on to more crafty stuff as I create a wreath for Valentine's Day.  Stay tuned.

Project Update

Still work on  my first project, a lovely scarf I'm doing on my knifty knitter.  I'm even attemptig to do a hooded scarf (a scarf with a "hood" attached), though, I'm winging it, so we'll see how it turns out.  Here's some more info as well as some patterns and tutorials on the knifty knitter.  I've been posting some patterns up in my pinterest account lately, too. There are other knitting looms, too, but this is the one I have.  It comes in sets and is relatively inexpensive.  I do want to buy another type that has smaller pegs, or maybe I can make one with some wood and nails.  If I try it out or get a new one, I'll let you know.  I'm using some really pretty purple yarn that I had at home, plus a stripe of a soft variagated yarn.  The ends are another shade of purple, just to add some interest.  Maybe I'll try to do a rim around the hood part in the same yarn I'm doing on the ends.  Depends how much time I have since I have a deadline of the end of the month.  Yikes!  Anyway, here are some pics of the item in progress:
