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!

Some things I have been busy makeing on my knitting looms!

Loom Knitting

 This is a hat set that I was blessed to make.... Many thanks to my dear friend Ms Kay for teaching to me look for and recognize Gods blessings!!

 This I was super excited about!  So excited with the outcome... I did the ewrap stitch on a DaLooms regular gauge hat loom... increasing to the point of the scarf then decreasing back to the other side....I did a crochet border. It is basically a simple prayer shawl on a smaller scale.

 I made this hat for my dear friend, MaryEllen's son, Harrison... he loves Angry Birds...I made it to small so I will have to make him a new one. I just was not thinking... if you know of a child up to about age 3 that would love this hat please let me know.

I love to make  Hat/Scarf combo... they are one of my favorite things to make.  This is the frist one I made with just one yarn color...I really like how it turned out!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my creations.

May God truly bless your life.

Sock Monkey Hat

Handmade by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

Inspired by Dawn

 This hat was inspired by Dawn aka Backwoods Knifty Knits..... she is a wonderful needle knitter that I befriended on Facebook.... she makes these all the time..in fact she made a business out of making these hats and does a beautiful job...I just knew I had to make me one the first time I saw hers...but it has taken me months to get up the nerve to make one... I am so excited at how it turned out!! As many times as I went to her hat for reference I forgot it had red hair!...LOL... mine is done on a loom and I chose to do all knit stitches and crochet around the edges of the hat... I had so much fun making this!!... Thank you Dawn!!

 I made this hat to practice on a base for my Sock Monkey hat that is inspired by Dawn aka Backwoods Knifty Knits... This was made with self stripping yarn and I love how the ear flaps turned out... I crocheted around the edges.  Thank you for looking!  Hugs

Ruffle Hat

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside Al

I made a hat similar to this one and a sweet lady I met through Facebook and a high school classmate took a kitten of mine...she saw my other hat and ask me if I sold these hats.... I said no... orders make me crazy!!  She said she understood...I later ran into her cousin that I had graduated high school with and learned she will be going through chemo...I felt so small that I had not said I would make her a hat... I made this one as a gift to her!!  She is a real sweetheart and has taken one of my kittens and loves it dearly... I hope she is pleased with her hat!

Kitted Hat w/ Crochet Ruffel

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

I saw a hat a while back that had two of the sweetest ruffles on it...I loved it and had no idea how to do these ruffles.... the look to be knitted onto the hat... and I don't use needles... I use looms... so I though oh well. Lately I have been teaching myself to crochet... a friend taught me a few things years ago...so I thought surely I could figure this all out... so I have been playing... and learning....  woke up in the middle of the night one day and said...oh I know how to make a ruffle on a hat... later that day I went to work adding crochet to my knitted hat.... I had done this with a shawl...now I was going to try it on a hat... and it worked...I was too excited.  Thank you for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

Thick and Thin Whimsical Scarf

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, Al

I saw a scarf like this in an older Spin Off magazine and feel in love... I tried using needles to accomplish this since that is what the author of the article did...but I had no luck with needles.. So I got out my trusty Knifty Knitter...the Adult Hat one.. it's the purple one that comes in a single pack... and I went to work recreating the design on my loom... I loved the look of this.. I had to tie up the ends I just could not figure out another way to bind off the ends that looked pretty... Thank you so much 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



Felted Easter Basket

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, Al

This is a felted Easter Basket... I made it while sitting at the hospital with Mom...You knit your item out of wool...the wash it in hot water and shrink it...it pulls all the stitches together really tight... this shrunk more vertically than horizontally..so it is a bit taller than I wanted...but I am learning!! I made it on my largest round Knifty Knitter... I have now ordered a larger round loom.... I want to make more purses....but I think I am going to have to go up one more size... I love new looms!!  Hugs, Jeannie

Felted Purse

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

I am so excited about this purse... I met a lady at Taming of the Ewe Saturday ... she did the most beautiful felted purses.... I feel in love with her purses...and she was so helpful...I wish that I knew her name to give her credit!... so I came home and used some wool yarn I had on hand and made me one.. Now I am going to have to get me a larger loom...yet another loom!... I love my looms!! Thanks for looking!  Hugs~Jeannie

This is a picture of it before I felted it in the washing machine..it is about 2/3 the original size.

Cowl/Infinity Scarf

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

I had enough of this yarn left over from one of my weaving projects to make a cowl... I was in the mood to knit on Saturday.... and this yarn was in sight... I think it was a meant to be... because it turned out so pretty... It is really soft too... and so simple to make...I did it on the largest round Knifty Knitter loom and just did the e-wrap stitch... I did do a loose bind off.... It is the perfect length and really fancies up a simple sweater or turtle neck.  Thank you 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

Handmade Toboggan with New Stitch and Hand-spun Yarn.

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

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!!

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!
