I have become a hat making machine! Since that is all I know how to do I am getting pretty good at it. I am working for West for the next two weeks taking floral orders for Valentine's Day. As I sit here waiting on calls I am knitting away. It is nice to knit and get paid for it! I am still working on hats for St. Jude and preemie hats for our local women's hospital. After Valentine's is over and

I ordered these 7 lbs of yarn from Brian on eBay. They are yarn mill ends so they don't have the labels on them. I am so pleased with them. I got a great deal.

I have something to confess to you. I just discovered I am a YARNAHOLIC! Yep, you heard me right. I can't believe it myself. It all happened so fast. Right before Christmas I discovered loom knitting which was the start of all of this! Now I sleep, eat, and dream about yarn and what I might can do with it. You really know you are a YA when you are looking at your cats trying to figure out how to

I started loom knitting on 12/23/07 and I have knitted every day except yesterday and today. I have knitted 39 hats so far. Only 38 are show in the picture. I left one out. Hopefully when things settle down today I will get to do a couple. We are having Disciple Now at our church this weekend and the 11th grade boys(my sons age) will be staying at my house this weekend when they are not at church

Have you ever thought about donating items you knit to charity? This is a great way to help those in need and it makes you feel so good. You can start your own charity knitting club. Start calling the charities in your local area like homeless shelters, boys or girls homes, hospitals, etc. You can also find many places online that will take your donations.Afghans for Afghans - afghans for Afghans

I have only been looming for two weeks but I am really excited about the possibilities. I was thinking of forming a charity group in our area. A couple days ago I met Robin who lives about 15 minutes away. She had also been wanting to start a charity group. I am so excited to meet her and know there is someone else who wants to loom for charity. Of course we need more people than just me and her.

I live in Northeast Mississippi and I want to start a charity group. The group will make items for the newborn to the elderly. I have been trying to come up with a clever name but I can't. I would love ideas from all of you. Thanks in advance!

I got a $15 Hobby Lobby GC, $25 Wal-Mart GC, and $30 in cash as part of my Christmas so I went to town today! I got 41 skeins of YARN and didn't even spend all my Christmas money and GC's! This plus what I already have should keep me busy for a while. I am going to start on an afghan today that I saw in the small KK booklet.

Well after I got the premie hat under my belt I made a toddler size hat. Today I decided to make Ashley a hat. She likes it and I think it turned out pretty good. I am going to make her a matching scarf but I am having a time learning how to use the long looms.

I have always wanted to learn how to crochet or knit. I was searching on Google a few days ago and found looming. I read all I could find and watched a lot of video's. I thought I might could do this so I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a loom set. I came home and started on my first project(the premie hat). It took about two hours to complete it. I think it came out pretty good. I am now working
