FINISHED: Loomknit & Crochet - Green Lantern Hat
Here is a project that I forgot to post earlier...The Green Lantern hat that I made for my younger son's Christmas gift.
The hat is loomknit (double strands) on the KK Adult Hat Loom (purple); while the Green Lantern applique is free-form crochet. The yarn is Red Heart Super Saver.

Finished: A Sweater For My Kindle
This was made by loomknitting a tube on the knifty knitter pink (smallest) long loom. I used 2 strands of Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Yarn!" brand yarn in pomegranate stripe.
Then I crocheted the embellishments... A skull motif, a free-form hand motif w/surface chain spiral and a double ruffle with some acrylic yarn in my stash.
This makes a nice thick and form-fitting sweater cozy... Perfectly sized for my kindle 2nd gen in its leather case.
Easy Peasy! :-)

FO ALERT: I FINALLY FINISHED THE LADYBUG BAG!
woo hoo! After waiting several months, my cousin, L, will finally receive the ladybug bag that she requested! I really felt good once I finished the bag ... even though she knows how ADD I am, I felt guilty working on anything else until it was done.
but since I don't use a pattern, I have to work on it when "I feel inspired" ... I am not trying to be lofty or flippant... but I do have to enjoy what I am working on or it feels like drudgery... lol. Sometimes I run into a structural issue and have to stop and "think it out"; and sometimes I get an idea for another project that I "must go ahead and start - so I won't forget it!"
Poor SugarDaddy, I don't think he understands why I must have 52 (hopefully that's an exaggeration!) projects going on at once!
This bag can be used as a shoulder bag or as a backpack. It is made of Acrylic yarn for ease of care and durability. (Hobby Lobby's "I Love That Yarn!") (i really do love that yarn... it's not just the brand...lol)
The body of the bag is loomknit, the embellishments are crochet and spool knit & embroidered, and flap enclosure is hand-woven on my vintage Weave-It loom.
I will be sending this bag, the mini-ladybug backpack & the beret (in previous posts ... scroll down to see) to my cuz tomorrow.
I sure hope that she likes them!
