More Goodies!!

I am so behind on posting my stuff.... I just have been so busy lately.... Here are a few things I have made lately.

 This is one of 10 sets I made for a special group of ladies I know.... I crocheted the washcloths, and a round face cloth... my daughter, Madison and I made the soap today ... our first. It was fun but, harder than we thought it would be. I could not have done it without her!! Her and her sweet Cory just moved back from Memphis... I am so enjoying having her home!

 This is a Loopy Scarf... I am so excited about it!!... So excited...I figured out how to loom knit it in a flat panel on one of my Knifty Knitter round looms... it is so easy and knits up so fast!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 This is a scarf I finished this week... I saw a patter in and online crochet magazine...I don't do patterns...so I went to You Tube to learn the V stitch...I modified it from the video so it would more match the scarf...then I did my best to make my own version...it came our really close!!

 This is a cowl I crocheted...I was thrilled!!  I was not happy with the edges when I finished so I went bad and added a lacy edge and it was just the perfect touch.  The pattern in the yarn came out so pretty on this.  I am giving it as a gift to a lady at my church.  It just kept calling her name each time I looked at it!!  I always feel like it's a God thing when that happens.  God uses us to bless people for Him..we just have to be aware enough to recognize it. I am just learning...and it blesses me so much when God uses me in such a special way!

I am beyond excited about this scarf!!.. I love the yarn... it has some mohair twisted in with it..and a little sparkle...just enough.. it just wove up so pretty!.. the mohair made it a little tricky to weave... but well worth the effort.  I love, love my weaving looms.  There is lots of pictures..I have some pictures in progress.. Thank you so much for looking!! Hugs, Jeannie

Masculine Scarf

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, Al

I made this on my 6 ft rectangle weaving loom.. it is just over 6 inches wide... It is made to weave diagonally but I wanted to try something a little different with my left over yarns... I used a chunky yarn and a lace weight yarn... My husband really loved how it turned out.. I like it lots... but I like making more feminine things best.  It was fun to try something new... thank you for looking!..Hugs Jeannie

Here are a few things that I have been working on... I have had several things going on at once and got a couple of them finished.... Will tell you a little about each one.

This yarn in this tri loom scarf inspired me to get some things finished so I could play with my new yarn. My daughter, Madison and my son-in-law, Cory took me to this amazing yarn store, Yarnation in Memphis when we visited for Mother's day. They had me a gift certificate so I got to splurge on some amazing yarn.. this is my first creation...and I have some of this yarn left over!!... so excited at how this turned out! I did a first on this one... I made twisted fringe... I love how it looks..but boy on boy it takes a while.. the fringe itself took about 5 hours... .Hugs Jeannie

I saw a scarf like this in a spinning magazine...I actually tired to do it on needles... but I had to go back to my wonderful looms... love my looms...I did this one on one of my KK... I love the look of the thin and thick yarn... I was really proud that I could accomplish this look... I am learning all the time... I love learning new things.

I did this on my rectangle weaving loom... inspired by the scarf above to try the thick and thin yarn in a different way.  Instead of weaving diagonally I tried running the thick yarn horizontally and the thin yarn vertically. It was great to use left over yarns in a new and creative way. My husband really loves this scarf... it is a good and different masculine scarf. Thank you so much for looking!  Hugs Jeannie

I kept myself busy today making this new scarf.  Robby (dear husband) added a removeable part to my 6 ft loom so that I could make scarves and shawls...I love, love my tri loom!!... love it!!  I wove the scarf then went back and added a solid blue yarn for an added touch in the design.  This may be the favorite thing I have made... I hope I keep learning and learning and learning!!  Tomorrow I am going to spin!  Thanks for looking! Hugs, Jeannie

Hand Built Rectangle Loom by

Robby Phillips ~ Southside, Al

My sweet husband Robby built me this new loom to keep me busy...he started it before my mother died... but he got right to work on it the day after the funeral so I would have something to keep me busy... he also added to my tri-loom to make it two sizes... my next project is on the 3 foot part of my tri loom to make a kerchief... I can't wait to try it.  I have several pictures here of my project in progress.  This one is a bit more challenging!!... I have a few mistakes...but I am learning... and loving the process.  Thank you so much for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

Knifty Knitter Scarf

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

I was excited at how this scarf turned out...I had wanted to do something like this with this yarn and didn't think I had enough...and wasn't quite sure how to get the look that I wanted... and I had thought I would not have enough yarn to get the length of a scarf...well after 2 woven scarves I still ended up with enough yarn to make a scarf.. too exciting.  I wanted a really loose stitch to show off my hand spun yarn... I used the purple round Knifty Knitter... knitted on a flat panel... I used every other peg....I did a row of k and row of p and a row of k...after my ewrap cast on... then I added the next color (orange ) and did a row of it in e-wrap... left that working strand at the end of the row... the I did a row of p a row of k and a row of p... picked up the orange working yarn... and did a row of ewrap until I reached my desired length.  I really like the loose stitch for hand spun yarn.  Thank you for looking!  Hugs~ Jeannie

Weaving Loom Built by

Robby Phillips ~ Southside, Al

My son, John-Robert and I went to Gatlinburg for his Spring Break...I got to see a weaving loom in person and play with it a little bit... came home with the idea how to build one in my head... Robby and I talked through it and got it all figured out...and that sweet husband of mine made me one yesterday (Saturday).  Here is my first creation on it... I used some of my hand spun yarn...some ribbon and some store bought fuzzy and eyelash yarns... So excited with how this turned out!  Thank you so much for looking! Hugs, Jeannie
