Knitting and Weaving

So a few weeks back I cast off this lovely new scarf! Whenever my little scraps of yarn take over more than one pretzel bucket, I start working on these. Cast on 50 stitches on a circ needle, and just knit until I run out of the small ball of yarn, and then add another, and another. I think the biggest ball was just a little bigger than a golf ball, and none of them made more than 15 rows of knitting. No ends to weave in, because they're all on the inside. I do knot off each area when I start a new ball of yarn, so nothing will come loose. Knit on it until its around four to five feet long, and cast off and sew up both ends. I've started another one this week now that this one is done. Most years now I can make two scarves out of my left overs from hat making.

 

And another thing I am working on... In January I purchased myself the Hazel Rose Looms that are fine set for weaving with baby weight and sock weight yarns!  Let me tell you, I neeeeeeeeded this soooo much! The regular looms I use with worsted weight and bulky weight yarns, and they take so little yarn to weave a square or triangle. I think something like 20 yards of yarn to make a 7 inch square! So just another way to either use up scraps or make an entire lightweight blanket or shawl out of just a skein or two of yarn. My goal this year is to weave at least one or two squares, triangles, or hearts every day on my Hazel Looms! So far I haven't missed a day, so I already have about 15 squares and a half dozen hearts of both sizes. 

And in some fun Amigurumi... I made my oldest daughter a few of these F bombs. 😂 I saw this online and the lady was making both F bombs for adults she knew, and Ba-Bombs from Mario for her kiddo's to play with. 

After a long week, today, I am just working on some adult hats that were already on the needles. I just need a few days of mind numbing knitting that I can pick up and put down on the fly. Hope everyone is having a good week of craftiness!!! ✌
