Well, I’m all recovered from the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. It was a wonderful weekend and many spindles found new homes! Now I can finally post the results of my Kitchener experiments. First, I realized that I forgot to link both Kristen’s video and the sock machine video that I mentioned in my last post. Try them both [...]

I’ve been thinking that I want a different way to do the kitchner stitch. It’s probably most efficient to do it on knitting needles, but I always seem to mess that up (plus I seem to have an aversion to doing any knitting related tasks with needles).

Here’s my Ruana all finished and modeled by it’s recipient, my lovely sil, Kathy. The pattern is from Isela Phelps Loom Knitters Primer and the yarn is Thirteen Mile Yarn-bulky in Latte.

Over on Ravelry, the Beginner’s Lace knitting group has just started to work on Saskia (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/saskia). I have my homespun yarn to use up, so, what the heck! I though I’d give it a try on the loom. There are just single and double decreases and YO’s to deal with. I think it’s a pretty managable [...]
