Gettin’ It Pegged…Loom Knitter’s Clique

This is my Braided Cables Bag. I just love this purse! It has everything a girl could want in a carryall…because is does carry all! It’s really very roomy. It also has a sturdy bottom base, and nice thick strap, which are supported by dowels inserted into the top edges. And no stretching out of shape because of the pretty, yet functional liner.

I’ve been using this for some time now as my purse/lunch bag… and it’s great for…shhhhh!…sneaking candy into the theater!

And a girl can’t have too many little swirly rosettes!

I’ve been waiting to post this until I was a little closer to be able to post a pattern. I was a tad hesitant because I felt (and still feel) that it is quite a project to undertake, and would be difficult to explain in a simple write up. I’ve decided to make another bag, along the same lines, only with simpler construction, so that anyone wanting this look, but not the cumbersome instructions, could whip one up in a jiffy. I’m just about ready, so I thought I’d give you a preview to keep your loomy wheels turning.

Have a Fantabulous Friday! We’re off to enjoy Narnia!!!! I’m taking my 2 girlies, and one of their close friends…and of course my best guy, up to Olympia to enjoy the show. I can’ t wait!

The most exciting thing to look forward to in May is this sweet little something…

As some of you may have heard through the loomy vine…

Yes!  I did have the very great honor of participating in this wonderful new venture!!!  Three of the projects inside this book are mine!  Woo-hoo! 

Can you tell I’m a tad excited?

  If you click on the picture, it will take you to LoomKnit.com, where every copy purchased will come signed by Isela, herself! 

Here’s a couple of sneek peeks…

There will be 2 little items for your furry friends…

…and one for your little ‘tween!  

And a whole lot more of loomy goodness that I’m dying to check out…how about you?

Hurry on over to reserve your copy today!

If there are any kinks in the process, just let me know at:  Bethany@GettinItPegged.com  

I’ve heard through the grapevine that people who missed out on the booties class are feeling a tad left out of the bootilicious fun…

So I’ve added the pattern for sale now, rather than in a set as I originally planned, so that you can get your looms busy right away with these sweet little darlings. 

So, just pop on over to Peggin’ Pages to  snatch up your very own copy of Bethany’s Booties!

Enjoy! 

Hello, All! 

Just thought I’d pop in and say “Hi!”  I’m typing on a strange computer in a hotel lobby right now, waiting for my daugter to finish with her WASL testing…a Mandatory Washington state achievement test.  We’ve travelled to Olympia, WA to do this, and will be doing the same for the rest of the week.  This is about a half hour drive one way, so it takes up the entire first half of the day…then the rest of the day will be off to work for me, then back home…packing!

Yesterday was the same morning schedule, except it was my daughter’s 16th birthday…I wanted to be able to have a memorable party for her in the midst of all the chaos of our house situation right now, so we decided to have a family party at our new house.  We only got the keys yesterday, so the house was empty!  So to remedy this, we rented a U-haul (just my daughter and I) and after our trip and Olympia all morning, and after party goods/food shopping, we packed up our couches, kitchen table and chairs, coffee table, and all available boxes we could shove in that truck to make the trip worthwhile, and drove to the new house to unload and set up for the party…all before 6 o’clock!  YIKES!  :P  By this time, my younger daughter was home from school, and gave us some much needed help.

Well, I can tell you, WE MADE IT!   :)  Everything went off without a hitch, and people enjoyed looking around our new (mostly empty) digs, and Emily said it was the most fun she had had in a long while.  :)  I’ll post pics later, as I don’t think my camera would appreciate being plugged into a strange computer, lol!  ;)  Have a wonderful day!

Bethany~

PS…I did manage to get another wedge and a half done on my Pinwheel Blanket yesterday while waiting for Emily’s testing to be done.  :)   The loom along is still going on, if anyone wants to take part.

Well…I think I’m a VERY big glutton for punishment…as well as most of the other online loomers out there, lol!  We just can’t get over the fun we have getting together and loom knitting something as a group.  It’s so enjoyable meeting new friends who have the same loom love as you and talking about great projects, yarn, and daily happenings. 

Here’s a little run down of what’s going on out there, so you too can join in on the fun!…if you haven’t already. 

At the Loom knitter’s Clique…we’re having a little impromptu Loom Along using Denise Layman’s Pinwheel Blanket Pattern!  All you need to join is to click on the button, join, enroll on the database, purchase your pattern here, gather your yarn…and get set to knit Sunday (yes, this is tomorrow…did I say impromptu?) 

 Here are my yarn choices for the blanket…

I love blues and browns together.

And over at the Loom Class Group…Jenny and Robin are teaching blocks #2 and 3 beginning tomorrow and lasting until April 26! 

I’ve completed my block #1 and these are the colors I’ve decided on for my afghan…I just LOVE them, don’t you?

Well, since I’m moving, begin instructing a new group of college classes, and celebrating my daughter’s 16th birthday…I figured this is all I could possibly get away with signing my name to…

but there is still one more loom along that I know about, that you might enjoy joining, and it’s going on right now!

Over at Ravelry, in the Loom Along group, Isela is teaching her adorable bag pattern…the Felted Baguette!  If you haven’t enrolled in Ravelry yet,  GO NOW AND DO SO!!!  I can’t stress enough how fabulous this online fiber community is!  There’s a little waiting list, but they push you through pretty quickly, so you’ll be rollin’ with the yarnies in no time, lol! 

Well, I hope you can join us for one or the other…or several…projects…it’ll be a blast!

Today is the last day for the online class on how to create the little baby booties.

I’ve had a lot of fun…this group has been so wonderful to spend a week with!  :)  And everyone has created (& are creating) absolutely adorable booties!  I’d like to be able to post some on the Clique Pics soon…

Now…I’m off packing!  Yep, it’s time again to move my little family…our house is just way too dinky.  Our last move was not planned, as the house we were renting ended up being sold, so we had to hurry and scramble around to find someplace to park, if only for a temporary solution…and one that would except pets (our cat & bunny) was even harder to find.  So this temporary solution has lasted for a year and a half, lol…and we’ve finally found a suitable replacement, again that would accept pets.  Now my husband doesn’t have to worry about being chased out of our only bathroom by us 3 girls, lol!!!

So…off I go…busy, busy, busy!  I will keep my eye on the computer, though, as I know that there still may be postings in the bootie class today.  Thanks again for an awesome online experience!  It was a lot of fun…we’ll have to do it again soon…maybe this little item?…
