Baby Set

Handmade Designs by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, Al

I have been working on this set the past week...started over on the blanket 3 times...but finally got the look I wanted for the center... The blanket is knitted on my DaLooms Infinity loom... and then I added a crochet border... the hat is knitted on one of my Knifty Knitter round looms...then I added a crochet border to match the blanket.... and then I used a pattern (don't faint)...I motified the pattern a bit to get the look that I wanted... I ended up with two sets of booties...one for a giant baby... the patter called for an H hook... I ended up using a G hook on the second pair so they would fit a baby... I did a few other changes too...so excited that I am learning!  Learning new things is so much fun. Too bad I didn't know that when I was in school!!... :o)   Thanks for looking... Hugs, Jeannie

Prayer Shawl

Handmade Design by

Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, Al

This is my first prayer shawl... I was in Hobby Lobby last week and picked up a knitting book...all I read was yarn over twice in this list of directions... a light bulb went off in my head... "yarn over twice...I could turn that into a prayer shawl"... bought some yarn and came home and went to work.. now off to Hobby Lobby  later today or in the morning to see if the yarn is in I need for a couple of promised projects. .. I made this on my largest round Knifty Knitter loom... I love loom knitting! Thank you for looking.. have a wonderful day!  Hugs, Jeannie

Ear Flap Hat

Handmade Design by Jeannie Phillips

I read how to do ear flaps in Isela Phelps book.... and where you put the flaps on the peg to add them to the hat... I marked those pegs on the next to smallest loom... laid it in the middle of my purple loom and laid thread across the middle of both looms to make a cross and marked the center point on both looms... I used this as a guide to decide how to big to make my ear flaps...then I just winged it from there...I knitted these from the end of the strings up!!...I was so so excited when it turned out and the flaps were in the exact right place!  This is for my niece Katy for Christmas... she will be in high school next year and their school colors are Blue and White... I so hope that she loves it!!  Thank you for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

Toboggin with Knitting Motif

Handmade by Jeannie Phillips

Lacy Scarf

Handmade by Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

I love my Knifty Knitters / Knitting Looms

This is a scarf pattern I made before, it is out of the book I taught myself to LOOM KNIT.  Robby bought this book for me at Wal Mart... it has a DVD but that is very dissapointing!!... I have made this scarf before in a thicker thread... Yesterday I was at Hobby Lobby and decided that I was going to have to venture out into new yarns...I ran across this Patons Lace yarn...very fine yarn... it is a #2 on the liggle yarn shaped symbol...I used two threads...I did think that the thread would change faster than it did....this was knitted on a flat pannel on my largest round loom...the pattern is the Lovely Lacy Scarf on page 18 of the book... I love how it turned out!!  Thank you so much for looking!!... This one is going in my Etsy Shop!  Hugs, Jeannie

Brown and Yellow Striped Toboggan

Handmade Design by Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

As many of you know John-Robert, my son cut his dreads this past week... he has had long hair so long...I have been worried about his head getting cold this winter...so this is one more toboggan that I made him... his favorite color is yellow... this is really easy it is just e-wrap cast on.. a knit row and a purl row until you get it as tall as you want it... I made it on the Knifty Knitter Purple Loom....Thank you for looking... Hugs, Jeannie

Blue Youth Toboggan... With Flower

Handmade Design by Jeannie Phillips 

I am so excied I got a hat order...5 hats...for little girls!..How fun is that! ... This is my first one... Hope they love it...Thank you so much for looking.

I did this hat on the Green loom... the brim is a row of purl a row of knit for 12 rows.... and the rest is in knit stitches.

Toboggan... Earth Tones

Handmade Design by Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

I love loom knitting... I love my Knifty Knitters!!!!!... I have made John-Robert another toboggan... he is loosing all his hair this weekend... a shaved head... I am so worried his head is going to be cold!!.... He has lots of hair it is going to be really different for him!....I hope to get him three boggans made!! But I have so much to do... and I am sick too! 

This hat is really simple... I did it on the purple round loom...I knitted for the first rows with one thread so that the rim of the hat would roll up...then I purled the rest of the hat, in two colors...I have started decreasing back to one strand of yarn for the last about 5 rows so that when I draw the hat up it is much less bulky... on this hat I did a yarn over on every other peg for the last row... I knitted the bottom yarn over the top yarn... so that when I gathered the top it would be even less bulky... I love the little design it made in the middle.

Thanks for looking... Hugs, Jeannie

Infant/Toddler Jester Hat

Handmade Design by Jeannie Phillips

I am working to fill up my Etsy shop... I am excited!!... I love making the baby hats they are just too sweet!!.. this one is knitted tight and with a cotton/acrylic yarn of like 3 .5 oz... so it took more rows around the loom... but I have learned to get out my ruler and measure how many stitches are making an inch and then multiply to get the length I want!!...I didn't use a pattern on this... just worked it out on my own! I love learning things from peoples patterns... but then I like to apply it to something that is mine.....I am learning so so much!... Thank you for looking! .. Oh did I say "I love my Knifty Knitters!"   Hugs, Jeannie

I have to decide if I want  a round one from DaLooms... or if I want a square one from Hobby Lobby...

My Weekend Sock (yes just one)

Handmade by Jeannie Phillips

Instructions from Loom Knitting Primer by Isela Phelps

Heals were my biggest fear!!... A sock is something that I didn't think that I could do on my Knifty Knitters... something I didn't think I could do at all!!... so I had to try one of these.... I do better when I can figure out something on my own...but on this I read the instructions!!.. amazing!!!...I am such a visual learner... but I had enough knowledge to make these instructions understandable for me!!.... I made the heal and the toe... but it was so hard to measure the length and I made this about an inch too short for my foot... I did enough to know that I now want a sock loom!!... I am about to need a loom room!!  Hugs, Jeannie

Bright Toboggan and Scarf to Match

Handmade Design by Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

A dear, dear friend of mine lost her house 9 days ago!!.... Just broke my heart...when I ask what I could do for her she ask for a scarf and hat for when she rides her horses... she wanted the bright.... this is what I made for her... so excited about how I made the stitches match... I did 2 rows of knit and 2 rows of purl on the scarf for 12 pegs until it was 5 1/2 feet long... I did it on my largest round loom... The toboggan was done on my  Knifty Knitter round loom...I did 2 purl 2 knits and repeated until the end of the round for 10 rows with one strand of yarn..then I added a second strand of yarn and changed my pattern to 2 knits 2 purls, so that when you folded the brim up that the stitches would match...since the brim folds up on the hat instead of upon itself I had to do more rows on the hat... I did a total of 37 rows past the brim...the last 5 rows I did with one stitch so that when I gathered the hat it it would be less bulky.

Thanks so much for looking!

Hugs

Brown Tam with Stripes

Handmade Design by Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL

This is for my son John-Robert... he plans on shaving his dreads this month... so he won't need it long... but I had to make him one that was successful for his long hair... his orange and blue one was not full enough...so I prayed to know how to make more stitches on my loom....and one day the answer was just there in my head... God is so good... then I made the first one with the extra stitches too short...this one should be just right... I hope that he loves it! ...I love my Knifty Knitters they are the best thing ever!!...... Thank you so much for looking!

hugs
