Not much to show for this long time. 6 loom knitted hats, and 2 knitted hats

The loom knitted hats were done on the green knifty knitter looms.
24 rounds of 2 strands of #4 yarn(worsted weight)
Gather off, the do 1 round of single crochet on the bottom edge to keep it from rolling up. easy peasy

The knitted hats I used the Elizabeth Zimmermann pattern from Knitting workshop book

Here are pics of the storm we just went through. We lost our power Friday evening, and just got it back Wed. morning. We got almost 2 feet of snow overnight. There was nothing on the news about this storm, because of the devastation of the tornadoes last week. My heart goes out to those families in the tornado areas.

A few weeks ago, there was a great sale on roasts. So I bought 8 huge roasts, 4 pork and 4 beef. I had used 2 of them, but got tired of roast night after night. Then I hit on an idea.

I cooked up a big pork roast in the crock pot.
Last night we had sandwiches with it.
Tonight I chopped it up and put it into spaghetti sauce and served it over pasta. It tasted just fine. So I froze the rest in 1/2 pound packages, and will use it in place of hamburger in casseroles. Hamburger is so expensive right now, so replace it with what I already have.

Now before you think me genius, it took me until the third roast to think of this... but I am sort of a genius, don't you think?

loom knitted afghan, finally finished. This is a rectanlge, but our table has rounded sides, so it makes it look like the afghan has rounded corners... no, just a rectanlge. Made on the 48 inch S loom by CinDwoods looms. 7 skeins of Homespun yarn.
stripe sequence
2 skeins green
1 skein variegated
1 skein green
1 skein variegated
2 skeins green

This hat was made on the red knifty knitter loom.
The pattern I used was e-wrap 2 pegs at the same time instead of one peg.

This hat was made on the green knifty knitter loom. Same pattern as the green hat. The difference is the green loom has an even number of pegs, and the red loom has an uneven number of pegs.

Used the red knifty knitter loom for this hat. Phentex Can Can yarn. It is a bit thicker and feels a bit like terrycloth when loomed up.

This is a reversible scarf. Purple on one side and pink on the other.
I used the blue knifty knitter loom. Made the purple part first, as long as I wanted it, then I attached the pink yarn, and made the pink part as long as the purple part.
Then I put my hand into the inside of the loom, and all the way through the scarf and pulled up the bottom. As pulling up a cuff, only a very long cuff.
Put the beginning purple stitches on the loom, knit off that row. Then I crocheted the ending stitches off.
Pulled it even, and folded up a cuff on each end.

Loom knitted hat made on the green knifty knitter loom.
e-wrap 16 rows, bring up for cuff
purl stitch for 10 rows
e-wrap for 10 rows and finish top by threading yarn through each peg on loom.

enjoy
though I am a bit behind on my afghans, this has been really fun to make the hats

Hubby and I went to town yesterday. Stopped at Goodwill, and I found 7 shirts, for $22. Good deal, yes?
Two of them didn't fit, the pink flowered one was too small, and the light green and white stripe was too large. So will take them back, the rest of them fit perfectly.

While in the car, it is a compact car, I started another afghan, only on the baby S loom from CinDwood. This board has 63 pegs on 1 side. Am using what yarn I already have, all in Homespun yarn. A couple of summers ago, I bought a bunch of homespun yarn at a yardsale, so am trying to use it up. I will not buy any more for these ghans...I will not, but I want to...lol

I am on my third skein for the larger afghan on the 89 peg cindwoods board. So am still on schedule on that one.

Here is what I have been working on lately.
The yarn is Homespun yarn, 7 skeins will do it I think. Well, it will have to cause that's is all the green Homespun I have. I have 5 skeins of solid green, then 2 skeins of a lighter green variegated. So will do
2 skeins of solid green
1 skein of variegated
1 skein of solid green
1 skein of variegated
2 skeins of solid green

This is the adult afghan loom from CinDWoods. This loom has 89 pegs on 1 side, and 89 pegs on the other side.
I am having such fun the last couple of days with this. I am trying for half a skein a day. If I can keep that up, It will take me 14 days to finish.
