Looms, Boards and Graciela

April 29, 2007

I finished a semicircular shawl for myself, so it is shorter, which it gives it more like a poncho look, but I like it anyway.
                 This one is also done on the blue long KK board.
Then is the little guys for this week, done on the mitten loom from In the Attic.

Also, 4 squares for the afghan or blanket for the family of the victim's of Virginia Tech. They are done on stockinette stitch on small gauge board from Lynn Markman.

I hope they are the right color, my Mom always said I couldn't tell colors, and she was right.
Then is a sock for a Princess:

I didn't find the lace I wanted, so it is just basted, if I find what i really want I am going to change it.
Last I am casting on for a Window Blind Stitch Blanket for the Next Princess to be, coming on next June.

Well, that is it and have a great week.

I kept playing with the board and short rows, here is the first project:
                   This one, was done using the small gauge, adjustable from Decor Accents. It already went away for a few days, so I am not sure what is the size. But my model, is size x-large. The yarn is Red Heart, Soft Baby.
Then I got my blue long KK, and decided to make one, using all the pegs, and here it is:
                       
The yarn is Pound of Love. I am pretty happy with it. At the widest part on the back is 19", so it is a pretty good size. I think I am going to make one for me. I will try to have the pattern ready for next week.
The little guys:
Now I have to get going, we will have Mr. GumBall with us till Thursday morning, so is quite a bit I have to get done on the next 2 hours.
Happy Looming week, and let me know what you think about this shawl.

We just came back from Brien's B-day party. My youngest GK! Yes, strange spelling! Nicky needs the computer for homework, so short and sweet:
I am playing with short rows and a board. I love it! It is more than half way done.
I hope I can finish it this week, I am using zig-zag stitch, and the small gauge board from DA.
The socks on the x-tra fine gauge oval with nylon pegs are finished:

I think I HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK FROM SOCKS! and do other things, that is how the shawl came around. Too many ideas and not enough time. I am thinking on taking a week off from work. I did make some little guys, but didn't take a picture, and now my computer time is over!

The little guys: socks and hats.
