What I have been doing / myLot

Well, mostly I have been playing with yarn. I can't seem to stop. And every project makes a good subject for a blog post on another site. I am hoping to reach a good payout over there. But that's no reason not to be here daily and as the winter turns to spring, perhaps I will find the inspiration more often. In the meantime, here's one of the projects I was involved in while I was away from myLot. It's an afghan that was knitted on my Super Afghan Loom. The loom is made in an S shape so it's entire length fits on your lap. As you can see, it makes a large afghan all in one piece. I have been looming all sorts of things but I will probably do less of it as the weather gets warmer. Having a giant piece of knitting on your lap is much less appealing in the summer than it is in the winter.

I haven't done any loom knitting but it obviously produces nice items. Is there a variety of items you can make in this way?

@JudyEv One of my relatives works magic with yarn. She comes out with the most creative pieces that can be used around the house.

@JudyEv I have a variety of looms. I never loomed before, I used to crochet quite a lot. And there are not a lot of patterns out there. But I have found ways to make a lot of different things and I am blogging the patterns. I have even written patterns for making gloves on a German sock loom. You just have to think outside the knitting needles.

I get obsessed with one thing or another for a while. Probably good to be off the computer for a bit.

I remember when you mentioned you wanted to order the S shape loom. What have you loomed?

The afghan in the photo, so far. I loom a lot of things on other looms but that's the only project I did on the S loom.

Looks pretty cool! Or perhaps I should say nice. It's fun having something that you enjoy doing.

No wonder you had no time for MyLot. Playing with yarn is a lot more fun.

I'm all thumbs when it comes to stuff like this. I do make afghan biscuits though.

I will often work on afghans and quilts in the winter. They keep me warm while I work on them.

As you say, knitting is more comfortable in winters. I have noticed this personally. Not many take up knitting during summers. That Afghan is beautiful!
