Yay!  Happy Fourth Blogiversary to Gettin’ It Pegged!  It’s been quite an amazing four years, filled with lots of fun, excellent friends and incredible times…most of that is due to all of YOU.  I’m sending oodles and buckets of thanks to you! 🙂

My family and I have just returned home from a little mini vacation to the beach (yippee!) and so the party festivities will actually begin just a tad bit later on this afternoon, maybe early evening.  I need to be able to get things in order, lined-up and ready to go for the fun.

In the mean time, keep in mind that I’m planning on providing you with a new surprise loomy project!  It’s a secret, so I’m not going to spill the beans quite yet. But, I AM going to let you know the supplies you’ll need gather in order to create this fun project:

  • One small ball of 100% cotton dishcloth yarn (such as Sugar and Cream, etc).  You will only be using about 1/8th or less of a 2oz. ball.
  • One netted bath scrunchy…like this.  This can be a used one that is currently falling apart in your shower as we speak, lol…or a new one from the store.  You can usually pick these up for a buck or two.  I would say stick to the medium-large size, but if you can only find the small ones, then pick out 2.
  • Your 24 peg blue round loom by Knifty Knitter…or another one that is comparable and within that general size. 😉
  • Your loom tool and a strong yarn needle.

That’s it! 🙂

Another thing to do while you’re waiting for the party to begin is pop on over to my friend Tanya Goen’s blog and check out her absolutely adorable preview of the So Cool Cap from the new book, Loom Knitting for Little People!  Tanya is our official graphic designer for this project and has been doing an absolutely amazing job on giving the book it’s whimsical and playful style…you’re going to LOVE it! 😀  Pop on over and let her know how much you love her sweet project!

TTYS!
