I am excited about this hat....I wanted something different... when it came to me how to add random pieces of  yarn and make them stand out I put down what I was working on and got to work on this hat. I also wanted a way to showcase my hand spun yarn... the pink in the hat is yarn I purchased the other is MY VERY OWN YARN   I added a Vertical Drop Stitch that I taught myself how to do on a loom...I had seen it done on needles and went "oh I know how to do this on a loom."  Then I did!!... talk about excited!! I also watched a video today on a Crossed Stockinette stitch...it is a simple you knit one peg and ewrap the next...I like the uneven look it gives.  I know there is a name for how this hat looks but I can't think of it... I am really excited at how it turned out!! I used my purple round Knifty Knitter.... I love, love loom knitting!!

Purple Popsicle Party

Hand Spun, Hand Dyed, Handmade Design

by Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, Al

This Yarn reminds me of a Grape Popsicle... This is my first project that I did so much!...I dyed the roving... I spun the yarn...added ribbon and tulleing (sp?) as I spun to part of the yarn...then I had to go back and add more ribbon to the hat after I knitted it on my loom.... all the bows piled up in just a couple of places... but hey I am learning!!  I am really excited I feel like I made this hat from scratch...how fun is that!

Felted Heart Baby Hat

I have been wanting to do this forever!!... Felting on hats is why I wanted the fine gauge looms so bad.... wheel I finally got the chance.... I didn't have much wool roving ...and I used thread I had leftover.. this is a newborn hat... I did the heart by needle felting wool roving into a heart and adding a tail... Hope that you like it... oh yes if you didn't know my sweet husband is upstairs building me a spinning wheel!!...I am so excited. Between my spinning wheel and my felted heart hat I am a happy woman!!
