January Loom Alongs!

Published January 12, 2010 Classes , Free Loom Patterns , Loom Alongs , Looming Patterns 7 Comments

Hey there everybody! :)

How about a little Loom Along for the rest of the month of January???

I thought it might be fun to work up a project step by step throughout the next couple of weeks… what do you say?

This is what I thought we might like to make:

a Winter Whimsy!

It’s up to you and your whimsy how you wear it… as a Cozy Cowl,  a Snuggler for your hands,  or a Pocket Purse!

Winter Whimsy~

Gather your materials and we’ll start the Loom Along this Friday,

January, 15th…

just keep your eye out for the publication of the first part of the pattern.  ;)

Materials to Gather:

  • Knifty Knitter long pink loom (or any other regular/ large gauge double knit loom with at least 12 sets of pegs)
  • Approx. 140 yrds of #5 bulky yarn, or 280 yrds #4 ww yarn double stranded
  • Small amount of contrasting color waste yarn
  • Loom Tool, 5.5-6 mm Crochet Hook, Yarn Needle, Scissors, & 2 Decorative Buttons.

Okay…that’s about it for that!  I’ll see ya’ on Friday for the LAL!

Oh! I almost forgot.  If you’re interested in looming up some sweet little Frosty Friends, there’s a LAL going on in the Ravelry Loom Along group this month that’s all about snow people…how fun is that?!  Just head on over to join in on the fun.  :)

Happy Looming!

I’d love to share with you some new Clique Pics I received from my friend Marilyn, a sweet lady who has regularly attended our local loomers knit night for the past couple of years (Wow! Has it really been that long already??).   A BIG thanks goes to her for sending them along to me and giving me the go-ahead for doing a little “show-n-tell” for her.  :D

Chunky Slipper Socks by MarillynFirst up is our most recently published Peggin’ Pages Pattern:

Chunky Slipper Socks!

Don’t they look so fluffy and cozy?

Cabled Scarf by MarilynNext up are a couple of classics by Isela Phelps.

Cabled Mitts by MarilynWe spent a little time learning how to create cables on looms and these are the projects that Marilyn completed using this great technique!

Half Finged Gloves by MarilynAnd finally, we all enjoyed a series of classes on Karen Gielen’s Half Fingered Gloves, complete with her informative project DVD!  Didn’t Marilyn’s come out great?  :)

Brenda's bootiesOne more little item that has been listed on the Clique Pics page, but I didn’t formally introduce it here is this photo provided by Brenda Hoffman featuring both sets of baby tootsie wear:

Bethany’s Booties & ‘lil Tykies!

These are definitely the Cuteness!  :)

Thank you ladies so much for sharing these great photos of your very nicely done looming projects!  If you have any completed items created from projects found here at the Loom Knitter’s Clique, please feel free to send them to me pronto and I’ll be tremendously tickled to post them for all to see and admire.  :D

Happy Looming!

My Final Presentation~

Published June 9, 2009 Classes , Goals , New Projects , Photography , School 2 Comments

Yippee and Yahoo!!! :D   I’m all done with college for the year! 

I just completed my big final project for my digital photography class yesterday.  I was soooooo nervous, but everyone seemed to like it.  (and the instructor whispered to me that I had done an excellent job!) We all had to offically critique each other’s power point presentations, and I think this was what was making me so nervous.  Although, I do find it kind of funny that I had a hard time doing that, but I feel no compunction whatsoever about turning around and sharing my project with all of you online, lol!  Maybe it’s because I’m not physically standing in front of you, waiting to gauge your reaction in person…I guess I’m the kind of person who’s very well suited to hiding behind a computer screen.  ;)

Well…anyway…I would like to share it with you.  I’m sure you’ll spot some familiar objects and activities therein…and a few of my favorite local looming gals knitting none other than the Chunky Slipper Socks!  The format is a little more subdued, as the original had text animation, etc. but I had to convert the style to be able to upload online.  I hope you like it…please feel free to comment!  What grade do you think I should get on it???

Hello, my good loomy friends!  :D   I hope you’re enjoying a wonderfully terrific St Patty’s Day…filled with lots of green and visions of the land o’ fairies.

I’ve been bogged down with the wrapping up of the Winter Quarter of college, and trying to get things all completed, studied for, turned in, and aced…hence the long span of no updates.  :P

But, since you’ve been so patient, and it’s a fun holiday today, I thought I’d share with you one of my projects for my Health and Fitness class.  apricot-porkjust-look-at-that-beautyIt contains a very healthy meal with scrumdidliumptious recipes!  How’s this for starters…Apricot Stuffed Pork Loin…Sauteed Green Bean and Black Bean side dish…Cherry/Strawberry Crisp…  Mmmmmm. I’ve got your mouths watering haven’t I, lol? 

Well…feel free to download in PDF format all the luscious details.  :)

Have a happy St Patrick’s Day…keep thinking GREEN!

Back to School~

Well, here we go again…

The three of us girlies here at the Dailey house are off to school for the Winter Quarter.  Here’s all the info about our school line-up, if you need a refresher, lol.  ;)

This quarter will see me taking on one more class.  I’ll be taking English 101 and a Health and Safety class, which will take care of all of the credits required in that catagory for my Business AA all in one swoop. 

I hope that this quarter will be as good as last quarter.  I had a ton of homework, but it was fairly enjoyable for the most part, and I really loved the interaction and group discussions we had as a class.  I think college life suits me…*excuse me while I find some wood to knock on!*

All three of us are kind of jittery today…not really knowing what to expect when we get back into the daily grind of school life.  What will this quarter bring?  I’ll let you know how it goes…  :)   I hope your week is just plain fabulous!

I wanted to give you a little “heads up” about the LAL that we’re having over at the Loom Knitter’s Clique:

Karen is offering this great pattern for a limited time discount of half off until tomorrow, November 10th!  So hurry on over to her pattern blog: http://www.cre8tivkjspatterns.blogspot.com/  and pick up your copy today!

karens-dvdAnother interesting little tidbit…if you’d like to have her tutorial videos showing how to knit these, you can pick up a DVD of the entire project, from start to finish. 

I’ve already received mine, and look how cute it is!  I just love the cover…very professional.

:D

 

100-paperOn another note… about another class…

my Human Relations in the Workplace class, that is…

I got my 2nd paper,

and look what it says!  Yippee!!!

My first paper received a 90%… on a technicality, lol.  ;P  

But I’m quite proud of this one.  Now let’s hope I did just as well on the test we had last week!  I’ll keep you posted…  Have a wonderful week, okay???

My Felted Rosette Handbag...you can find this in the Freebies.

Remember that little tutorial video on how to employ the Decrease Bind Off method?

Well, I’ve just placed a new one for you to enjoy on the Twisted Stitches page, detailing how to create a simple rosette using this same technique!  Feel free to to go investigate. 

This new video goes along with our new Loom Along at the Loom Knitter’s Clique… we’re working together to create this super cute Felted Rosette Handbag that you can find on the Freebies page.  You’re free to join us, if you’d like!  It’s time to start getting busy on that Christmas Looming List, am I right???  ;)

Yesterday…

Published September 10, 2008 Classes , Free Loom Patterns , Knitting , Life , Loom Alongs , Loom Knitting , New Projects 3 Comments

I had a good time yesterday, multi tasking in my little comfy space in my corner of the living room.  I set up my lappy on it’s  little stand, so that I could answer or comment at a split second’s notice during our Mitten Loom Along at the Clique…I got out my brand new wool winder (won an auction on ebay!) and began winding my Vesper Knit and Tonic 400 yrd skein into a workable ball (which would be much easier if I had a yarn swift, I know, lol.  But I’ll make due with what I have for now…)…and I was working on a top secret project (in the umbrella bag), as well as making a new version of the mittens, AND doing laundry, cooking dinner in a slow cooker…etc…!  Wow!  I love it when I’m so productive, lol!  :D

Here’s my mitten variation with a smiley face embroidered on the back with Glow in the Dark Yarn…Fun!  ;)   I’m not very good at embroidering, so the smiley is kinda funky…but looks great from a bit of distance!   

 

 

It’s Glowing!

It’s not charged up very much, but you get the idea.

Enjoy your day!

Bethany~
