A Decision Is Made!!

I haven't had the time to post in a while. I've been very busy with the new play and vacation and what not but.......

I've done it! I've decided to sell my floor loom. It actually was a hard decision because I bought it from a good friend and he was happy for me to buy it since it was his mothers. She passed away and he inherited it and I partly feel like a crumb for wanting to sell it. But it is too big for me. The table loom is more my style and if I get another floor loom. I will get a smaller one. This one is 60" wide! Here's a picture of it.

Enough about that - on to knitting talk.

I've gotten farther with my beaded cardigan. I've done one sleeve (not the full thing but to where the directions told me to stop and start the other one.) Here is a picture of it. Isn't it the cutest thing? It looks a little like a squid.

I've also gotten further with the stole. It will be about 40 rows of this and will be attached to the already finished portion - this is it before the dropped stitches. Here's a close up view as well. If you scroll down to a previous post, you can see the difference. Pretty neat!!

Here's another scarf I'm working on. I love this yarn. I bought it originally for the loom but had the idea to make a scarf out of it. I'm using a pattern from Scarf Style. I love it.

I made this stole from knitty.com. I have yet to block it but I like the pattern and the yarn.
