Loops & Threads Knit Quick

I took a little break from card making this weekend to try a different craft. I was wandering the rows of Michaels on Saturday, which is never good. I prefer to go when I can focus on a specific item or items to buy then I don’t end up buying something I don't need, I get in and I get out.  Not this time though and I came home with a loom and a ball of yarn of all things and I got it in my head to make myself a blanket for the couch.



I found the instruction booklet that came with the loom a little sparse, my first try resulted in a nice start for most of first foot with the exception to the edges that seems really tight and starting to curl. So I unraveled it and looked for some better instructions and I found this young lady on YouTube and I have a good second try on the go. You can see her tutorial HERE.

Supplies: Loops & Threads Knit Quick Loom, Lion Brand yarn – Pearls.

 Cheers,
Nina

    Hi Sis,

    This looks so cozy and softily! The sort of blanket one snuggles under and keeps wrapped around when you manage to get off the couch.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Oh my goodness...so cool. This video makes me want to look for that loom. It's been a while since I knitted...I need to look at these videos for inspiration to get started. What you have done so far looked nice...I hope I get to see your finished project...thanks so much for sharing.

    Good for you for trying something new! I can't wait to see the finished project! I am sitting under my toasty-warm blankie (that I didn't knit, LOL!) right now and enjoying it thoroughly.
