LOOM KNITTING AND SOMETHING ELSE

Flower Cowl

2011-10-04T15:22:00.000-07:00

This loomknitted cowl was published on the Loom Knitters Circle Magazine on 2007. A Wonder loom from the old DecorAccents Looms was used on the sample on small gauge and I loved it. You can find the pattern HERE

LION COWLS

2011-09-23T07:42:00.000-07:00

On August 2008 I designed this Lion Cowl for the first anniversary of the Kiss Loom Group. It is loomknitted on 78 peg kiss loom. The pattern can be downloaded here

A NEW SCARF ON THE LOOPA LOOM-NUEVA BUFANDA EN EL TELAR LOOPA

2011-09-14T04:56:00.000-07:00

This scarf with my favorite colors was made on one afternoon the loopa loom. I braided the ends with a fingerchain and it had a nice result.

Esta bufanda hecha con mis colores favoritos en una sola tarde en el telar loopa. Uni los extremos con una cadena hecha con los dedos y el resultado fue bueno.

Fingerless Gloves with Beads - Guantes con piedritas

2011-09-09T12:39:00.000-07:00

I loomknitted these fingerless gloves with beads on the 21 pegs circular Cindiloom 1/2 gauge and Simply Soft Caron. I did not have to add the beads to the yarn before starting it, but used a crochet hook to place the beads wherever I needed.

Teji estos guantes en el telar circular de Cindilooms de 1/2' y con estambre Caron simply soft. No anadi las cuentas antes de empezar, sino que con un gancho muy delgadito las fui anadiendo cuando las necesitaba

Finished them with picot crochet on the cuff and the thumb hole.

So fast and pretty to make. I will post a tutorial soon.

Los termine con picot crochet en la muneca y en el orificio del pulgar.

Isela;'s loom knitting group is closing

2011-07-20T11:04:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, for different reasons Isela's loom knitting group which I happened to be the moderator along with Jenny Stark for the last four years is closing on July 31st, 2011 and I feel really bad for it. Feel kind of empty, but I thank Isela for the opportunity she gave me to help her and the experience I got to take care of a group.

It is with great sadness that I communicate this.

Will I continue to loom knit? yes, of course, I love this craft and will continue to do it. And besides I have my other group called Tejiendo en Telares which is in Spanish.

There were some ladies on the group who insisted on Isela not closing the group and just pass it to some other person to lead it and here is what I answered:

From: "Mariat" View contact detailsTo: LoomKnitting@yahoogroups.com

My opinion is that what brings the group together is that we are following ISELA because she has given us so much by teaching loom knitting through her videos, books, patterns, and articles, that when she is gone there would not be a strong reason to stay around. I am sure it is not easy for her to close the group, but the cycle has to come to an end, let us just grieve and mourn, and respect her decision. There are plenty of loom knitting groups to join, where we can find also great loom knitters as our Loom Lady Brenda Myers, Helen in UK, Jennifer Stark, Graciela Worth, Bethany Dailey, Rennee Van Hoy, Jeannette Pirkle and so many others.

Of course we can still follow Isela in her facebook page or in her blog and we will also get to know her more of her family life. The loom knitting facebook page will also be there so we can show pictures of our loom knitting projects. Her books, videos and articles will be kept in the magic of the internet doing history.

So we can just feel proud of being part of Isela's group and keeping her in our minds and our hearts. I myself can feel proud of being able these last five years, to help her along with our Jenny Stark as Moderator of the group and having her friendship and Jenny's. Thank you so much Isela and Jenny.

Hugs to you all, and I am sure I will see you around the loom knitting world.

Vertical stripes Moebius scarf on the 10 peg knitting board

2011-07-08T21:37:00.000-07:00

This morning I had a nice surprise because one of my projects was chosen to be in the home page picture of one of my looming groups, the KKLK and it felt really good. This project is very special because it is the first time I try vertical stripes on the knitting board

Esta manana tuve una sorpresa muy agradable porque uno de mis proyectos fue escogido para estar en la pagina principal de uno de mis grupos de tejido en telar que es el KKLK y me senti superbien. Este proyecto es muy especial porque es la primera vez que hago las bandas verticales de diferente color en el telar rectangular.

When you are looming and getting to the joining point you twist them together and continue to loom each other to its side.

Al llegar al punto de union de ambos estambres se entrelazan uno con el otro y se continua el tejido cada uno a su lado.

Baby sweater for Rafaella my grand niece

2011-05-13T18:04:00.000-07:00

Baby sweater for Rafaella, my grand niece.

This sweater was designed specially for my daughter when she was a baby. I needle knitted it even before she was born and it was the first one I would knit. I enjoyed it so much that I kept it for when she would have a baby girl and my grandaughter Andrea did use the same one her mom used.

This baby sweater belonged to her mother as a baby.

I already made one for her but it will fit her when she will be like two years old. I just love to do this family pattern.

Variation of theTwo hour scarf

2010-11-15T23:33:00.000-08:00

Hat and scarf. This is loom knitted with hometown yarn on the round in the purple long kk loom. One of the ends is opened to be the hat and the other end is the scarf. It took only one skein.

TWO HOURS SCARF LOOMING WITH NO TOOLS

2010-10-31T06:50:00.000-07:00

I want to share this two hour scarf that you can do with no looming tools but your fingers.

Cast on ewrapping twice on two pegs (using like one). Need at least 23 pegs. I used the yellow size of the Knifty Knitters because it has a large gauge. Leaving those pegs empty form the gaps that make the scarf so appealing.

Casting on two stitches without leaving any peg in between, then leave empty three pegs and cast on two more stitches, leave a peg empty and cast on two more stitches which makes the middle braids, then leave empty three pegs and cast on two more stitches.

Every time you start, slip the first stitch, so to form the chained edge.

Binding off the 2Hour Scarf

Used the regular bind off by putting peg 2 back on peg 1, knit off, then move that stitch to peg 2. Now take peg 3 to peg 2. Knit off, move the new stitch to peg 3. Continue this across the row, but,(and this part was very important)when at the last stitch, do not cut and pull tight.Leave a very long tail and go back on each crochet looking stitch and pull it bigger. When you have gone all the way across the row, look and see if it is loose enough to match the other end. If not, work more yarn into the stitches one stitch at a time. When this finally looks right THEN you go and tie off the last yarn tail. You need the extra long tail to be able to stretch the other stitches to match the other end and the long stitches in between. I didn't have to make a crochet cast off with extra stitches this way. It looks just like the other end and matches the stitch type exactly. Fingers were used to stretch the stitches to pull in more yarn, lots for the first and then they pull it in as you go across. Keep working the yarn until you like the looks of it.

I would love to hear your comments on this scarf.

LITTLE PINEAPPLES TUNISIAN STITCH VIDEO

2010-07-21T15:53:00.000-07:00

This video is intended to explain a stitch for my Yahoo Tunsian Crochet Group. The stitch is called Pinitas in
Spanish and the translation in English is Small Pineapples because alltogether likes like it.

After the foundation row is done just usual then you start the stitch which is formed basically by two rows, the first row, and you start it inserting the hook in the first space found between the first loop and the second one and you draw a loop, then yarn over and insert back your hook in the same space so you get three loops from it which is counted as one loop, and you go on to the last space in the row where you do the same., then you return and start with the second row which you start on the space after the three loops, and keep going the same until you get to the end which you there is no space so the hook goes to the very end loop alone and insert the hook through the triangle formed there and you only draw one loop (not three), and your return is taking the yarn from that only one loop and then continue taking the yarn through one and three. Once you watch this video, I hope there are no doubts, but if there are, you can place your questions on the group.

Yes, she is with us now, she is wonderful and she is MY GRANDAUGHTER!! She was born on May 4th and my daughter had her with natural childbirth, with no C section or epidural or sedatives. She just managed the contractions with breathing and relaxation. I am really proud of her. I was in the delivery room and was present when she came out to the world. We have a bonding. I love her so much and I have the feeling she also loves me.

TUNISIAN ENTRELAC AND IN THE ROUND

2010-01-26T01:15:00.000-08:00

I always wanted to learn Tunisian Entrelac Crochet, so I bought the leaflet from Carolyn Christmas, and here is my first attemp. I am doing this blanket for my Grandaughter to be born next May and

I watched these videos in Spanish with the instructions for Tunisian Entrelac and love them. Thank you Ma. de Jesus for so generously sharing.

And from some great videos ( I do not speak the language, but just watched and learned)

I made these gloves for my nephew Juanito who lives in France and it gets to be really cold on a long winter time.

And I made this scarflette also for my nephew Juanito to match with his gloves.

Fingerless Gloves with sock yarn

2010-01-13T21:13:00.000-08:00

On Christmas time I visited my daughter Gabriela and her husband Ernesto and the baby girl who will be my FIRST GRANDAUGHTER!!!

I bought a lot of yarn in Joanns, maybe too many but I have so many projects in mind for the baby.

I got a nice sock wool, called Sensations and I started a sock as a Christmas gift for me on my fine gauge mini wonderloom from Dalooms and it was coming along pretty well until I realized I never show off socks (not any more jejeje) and I switched it to be a fingerless glove. I just loved the result!!

IT IS A BABY GIRL!!!!

2009-12-19T07:11:00.000-08:00

SHE IS MY GRANDAUGHTER!!!

YES, SHE IS TO BE BORN ON MAY, MAYBE BY MOTHER'S DAY, BUT WHENEVER SHE COMES SHE IS WELCOME!!! I HAVE DREAMED OF HER AND I ALREADY LOVE HER. MY HEART MELTS WITH LOVE FOR HER.

Mom and Dad found a new bigger house to rent so Andrea will have her own room

BABY SWEATER WITH BRIOCHE STITCH

2009-11-30T07:34:00.000-08:00

It has been a long time since I posted on my blog. Been very busy as I moved my office and did not have the time totally to loom and do crafts.

But now winter has arrived to Mexico and it is kind of chilly. I have started to loom knit, needle knit and crochet again.

BABY SWEATER LOOMKNITTED ON MY AJAL WITH BRIOCHE STITCH

I also loomknitted this really nice baby sweater (ribbon not yet added as we still don't know the sex of the baby, but in 15 days we will!!!! I can't wait!!!). I used my AJAL FG (adjustable knitting board) 12", fine gauge and it is so great to work with!!! These looms are pure art.

Long tail cast on

A variation of Brioche Stitch (described by Lady Alwen for the first time in the looms) I wrapped the yarn on all the pegs instead of every other one. This way the sweater was more cozy and comfy.

Stitches come out so great. I enjoy this way of wrapping a lot!! It is fun and speedy because you lift up only one side each row and then the other

It has been quite a while since I posted some pictures of my projects and it is not that I have not

These are the schooner socks which were loomed on the April loom along in our Yahoo Group

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SockLoomKnitters

I loomed them in my new WonderSock loom

It is wonderful working with this loom. At first I thought I would never accomplish it, but it is a great feeling when you finish your project. I wish now I would have two of this so to loom two at a time.

I

Gabriela and Ernesto have a friend who just had a baby and Gaby asked me to loom a blanket for her, so in a hurry I loomed a blanket and here is she holding the baby, she will look beautiful as a mom some day

A morning on Emiliano's life - Un dia en la vida de Emiliano

2008-06-22T19:54:00.000-07:00

EMILIANO WAS BORN APRIL 29TH

2008-05-03T08:08:00.000-07:00

My grandnephew is born. It feels as my own grandson. My niece has been always so close to me that Emiliano will call me 'abuelita' also. My sister is sharing him with me and I feel so happy.

My world has totally changed. I am hooked on him. Fall in love instantly!!! I don't know how I lived without him until now.

He is proudly wearing his blanket which was made for him especially. Thinking of him.

Pinwheel Baby Blanket fourth version

2008-04-26T05:25:00.000-07:00

I loomed this fourth version of Denise Layman pinwheel blanket matching the colors of the booties I loomed for the first grandnephew who is coming to the family. He was supposed to be born on April 19th, my birthday, but he did not, so we are everybody waiting anxiously for him. He is healthy according to the doctor, he is just not decided to come out to the world yet. He is planned to be born in a bathtub full of water, so the trauma of birth does not affect him. His name will be Emiliano.

Bethany's Booties

2008-04-08T00:17:00.000-07:00

Bethany formed a group to start teaching nice things designed by her. And I started to loomed them but I got Isela's news about a lump in her breast and I was so much worried that the first attempt of booties I loomed I did not like i
but when I heard the good news that the lump was benign, the same day I loomed the second attempt and here is the resulting bootie, I think it is pretty.

Isela's Cable cuff fingerless gloves-new stitch found

2008-03-06T20:06:00.000-08:00

I enjoyed so much Isela's pattern that I loomknitted another pair but now fingerless instead of mitts. I did another cable at the top trying to do it as Karen's but I could not make it the same, still I like them

I think I found a new stitch. I have never seen it described and I really like it. I asked Isela about it and she agreed that it is new!!! How about that? I was doing the garter stitch, but instead of doing a purl in the second row I made a flat stitch and this is the result.

So here is the description: It is the same if it is in the round or a flat panel. The first row you e-wrap and the second row you do a u stitch/flat stitch and you continue like this.

Isela's Cable Cuff Mitts

2008-02-26T07:31:00.000-08:00

Inside the community Ravelry I belong to different groups and one of them is Loom Along in which we 'Loom Along' a proyect every month and it is so much fun and full of nice patterns that Isela Phelps prepares for the group that I am enjoying a lot.

On February we made this beautiful cabled cuff mitt that Isela designed. It is so delicate and the pattern so well written that I loved it. Of course I had to add my purple touch:)

I am active on Ravelry now

2008-01-21T18:47:00.000-08:00

Plushy Slippers socks

I am very busy know. I am an active member in Ravelry which is a community for sharing patterns on knitting, loom knitting and crocheting. I was accepted on December but really started a project this January. It is a pair of socks with Isela's group Loom Along, which start a project every month. I loomknitted it in the blue round KK, I finished one of the socks and I am showing it here.

And I also finished this twisted scarf. This time, instead of finger knitting, I loom knitted it in the purple KK loom. I followed instructions from Anke Van Dorne a dutch lady who loomknits beautifully.

Pinwheel Baby Blanket

2008-01-18T20:31:00.000-08:00

Here is the picture of another Pinwheel Blanket in blue that I made for a just born nephew, Diego, whose parents live in Spain as the mom is from there, so I loom knitted my favorite baby blanket and here is the picture. I could not give it to him personally as I had the flu and did not want him to catch it.

The pattern of this blanket was designed by Denise Layman, this is the third time I loom knit this blanket and just love it.

My holidays

2008-01-14T22:13:00.000-08:00

On December 26th I traveled to Simi Valley to visit my daughter and we had such a great time! We went to visit the Getty Museum which is beautiful and has so many pieces of art. I was impressed with all the paintings, especially one by Van Gogh. I took pictures of it and I took pictures of my daughter, my son in law and my nephew, who came from France

My daughter Gabriela outside the Getty Museum. Notice her Magic Scarf loomed by mom.(that is me)

My nephew, Jean Sebastian and I. He came from France to visit

At night outside of Getty Museum. Notice the magic scarf which I loomed and Gabriela's fingerless gloves, which I also loomed.The scarf I was wearing, I bought it online and the gloves too I really liked them,but I lost one that day and my purpose starting this year is to learn to loom Karen's (creativity)gloves.

Midge Scarf exchange

2008-01-14T21:49:00.000-08:00

It has been quite a while since I last posted in my blog, two months to be exactly, but it is because time flies, or is it life that flies away? Anyway here are some pictures of the midge scarves I made the purple one which I sent to my partner in the Christmas exchange from my looming group. And I also got from her, June (Loom_lady) a really nice one and some dishcloths very pretty. I also loomed a blue one as a gift and I even made one in Tunisian Crochet with Christmas colors. This kind of scarves are so comfy and you really can wear them with any kind of wardrobe. The pattern is available at Isela's site,scroll down and in the right side look for scarflette in the "free loom patterns section". Don't forget to leave a donation as Isela has done so much for us loom knitters.

FINGER KNITTED SCARF

2007-11-13T09:21:00.000-08:00

I just made a scarf with the technique of FINGER KNITTING, that means using fingers as looms. I had real fun doing it and it was so fast to do it. There is no pattern for this I learned the technique on you tube videos.Last week I saw the site of a loom knitter in Netherlands and I took the idea for my own version. Hers is just beautiful and mine has my touch and colors. She used the blue long kk loom. Just scroll down this site and you will find the English version

September Swap Scarf

2007-09-24T09:46:00.000-07:00

These are pictures of the scarf I made for my partner Kathy Fellows in Maine. She has taste just like mine because I loved the combination of purple and green aqua. I loomed it in the Knitting board and used several stitches: e wrap, purl, dropped stitch and flat stitch.Put a slot so to close the scarf. I added the detailed of hand warmers at the end of the scarf just by folding the ends and added some Mexican ornaments. I liked it so much, that I am going to loom one for me.

Beaded Version of Isela's fingerless gloves

2007-09-20T07:36:00.000-07:00

Cheri training guard and protection. This is the largest of my dogs. He is great!! and always takes care of me, but he does not attack people unless they try to hurt me.He already saved me from some burglars who attempted to take my car from me, even though I was driving it. They could not do it when they saw him inside with me.

My college at the University of Mexico and graduate school of Dentistry at the University of Michigan

2007-08-09T22:00:00.000-07:00

I started College after divorcing, when Gabriela was eight months old and my mom would babysit for me but when she died in a car accident it was harder. My already married sister babysat for me but sometimes Gabriela would have to go with me to school, that is why she "graduated" along with me. She was dearest to my classmates and teachers .

After finishing in Mexico I went to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to get the Master's Degree in Pedodontics (Children's Dentistry) and Gabriela went along with me also. But she attended to Lawton School while I attended my Dentistry School.Later on I will post some of our pictures.

Dishcloth on tunisian crochet

2007-08-09T21:38:00.000-07:00

A week ago when I went to my local yarn store and a large crochet double hook got my attention and I asked the lady what was that for. So she taught me how to use it and this is the result. I loved it. Of course there are much more things to crochet other than a dishcloth.

It shows how to do it with your thumb and it is so easy, that, although I have my nice winder, I have started doing it for small balls and it works for me. Sometimes you are in a hurry, and it is fun doing it

2007-08-02T19:26:00.000-07:00

I am part of a scarf swap that is taking place between loom knitters. This is being organized by Bety Ann and I am going to loom knit a scarf for Kathy and Courtney is going to loom knit one for me. I am excited about it. I have to finish it up before September in order to send it my daughter with someone who travels to Simi Valley. I live in Mexico and cannot mail it from here because of customs, they might not let it enter and it could be lost. Then my daughter will mail it to Maine where Kathleen lives.

I already started and have nice ideas for it. Kathy likes it not too wide, 6 inches at the most. I will published it when I finish

Here is a close up of the latice eyelet stitch and also a close up of the dropped stitch in purple. The edge is crocheted, but the whole scarf was made in the green loom.

I just finished a baby pinwheel baby blanket. This blanket is for a baby who is very special for me, and I will explain why. Like 20 years ago I had this cute patient(I am a Children's Dentist)

who was 10 years old and she had crooked teeth, so she was my patient and her teeth were straight after we finished the treatment after two years, so I saw her once a month for two years and then I saw her last month and she was very happy for her pregnancy. When she was in labor she had preeclampsia and she died. Her child is alive a baby boy but he has no mother, so I was in shock and I thought by loomknitting something nice from my soul to her little boy, this was the best way to remember her. In memory to Annia Newenhouse

Much too large and uncomfortable to work with and the pins were located not really even, the afghan is coming out too large on the sides and short on the middle.

One of my yorkies was lost on August 13th, 2006 and it was so painful for me and so difficult to overcome that I am always on the hope that she will come back to me so the posters I placed all over my county are still there and a month later somebody brought to me a doggie who was found in the streets, a small yorkie that looked old and wasted, they thought it could be the one that is lost, a very small wasted little yorkie and I immediately said it was not mine, they said that if I would not want her she would go back to the streets so I decided to adopt her and she adopted me immediately and here she is. I named her Lili and she has no teeth at all so I have to water and blend her food. She had to be operated because her womb was completely infected, but now she is doing good and getting better and getting my love and the love and joy of my other doggies..
