Whooooooooo!!

OMF'nG!!

I made something with yarn. Well, I haven't actually finished it yet. But it's coming together and it looks like something. In fact, it looks like a warm, cozy scarf that H will totally like. It's not falling apart, or unraveling, or so tight I can't move it. And it's been over an hour since my last urge to rip it apart and start over.





As you can see, I'm using a loom to do this loopy, figure 8 wrapping style and then you use this little hook dealie to pull the bottom thread over the top. I had to try it about six different times with 3 different cast-ons and 4 different stitches.

But this season, unless I run out of yarn, H will have a new scarf!!

BTW, should it take more than 2 skeins of yarn for a longish (but not ridiculously long) scarf?
I only bought 2, now if I need more it won't match. ;-[

Nice, that looks really cool! Have fun making it :)

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
It is rather fun, surprisingly.
(I have a "yarny" tag that details my previous attempts at the yarn related arts) I suck at knit/crochet; but I kick ass at Loom.

Nice to have you back among us*, BTW.




*us, meaning the LJ blogosphere. ;-]

That looks super. Good job!

I'm impressed. I've never been able to master anything with yarn (except for maybe using it as a cat toy). You rock!

I think if you made it a bit narrower, your yarn would hold out. It looks awesome!

That looks awesome.

it's looking good :)
how is it working with a loom?
i always wanted to try the round ones for making hats.

It's a minor miracle, to be sure. ;-]

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
This is the third year in a row I've attempted to make H a scarf, so I'm pretty excited that he'll finally have one.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

He wanted a really wide one, so it might end up being two different pallettes of green camouflage. ;-/

Thanks!

It's 3x that length now.

wow! that looks amazing! good job!

if you still want to learn to crochet sometime...what days are good for you? I always work until 9 or 10pm, so it might have to be on the late side...

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm finding it quite easy, once I figured out what stitch I wanted to do, and experimented with different cast on techniques.

I have some round ones and will probably try a hat next. I can't wear it till after Xmas though, since H still thinks I'm hopeless with yarn. *insert clever grin*

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Heavens! Not the late side!!

Seriously though, it would have to be some night H isn't here, which would mean Weds or Thurs, most likely. You can feel free to text me thru my info page.

[identity profile] nate101000.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I need to get me some of those.

[identity profile] klynnfrost.livejournal.com 2006-09-28 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That looks great! I guess your validiating the "persistance is key" concept.

Hey Sleazy! I still have your TI - Shall I pass it along through Kenny or Wednes? Thanks again, BTW!

Wow, from the pics it looks like snake scales...

*Heavy Metal Forks*

BTW, Um... you need to re-add me again to read my journal entries...I think they'd be of interest to you. And yes, you can feel free to post disagreements anytime ;-)

that rocks!

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-09-29 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Tee hee hee.
That seems like it would be rather dangerous for a scarf to have snakelike tendencies...

Thanks!

I always appreciate a compliment from the Queen of Making Things.

[identity profile] ex-jenniepan481.livejournal.com 2006-09-29 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
you are the one complimenting me.. "the queen of making things" that is the greatest thing I have ever heard..and yet yarn only = doll hair to me!

[identity profile] kissdbyagnome.livejournal.com 2006-09-30 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, that really kicks ass Wed! He's gonna love it!

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-09-30 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
We have a joke about camouflage because he says it makes you look invisible no matter where you are. Like, I have some camouflage pants and H will say "Oh no! You're a floating torso!!" So now he will be a disembodied head. LMAO

lmao, how perfectly gory!
