I am active on Ravelry now

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

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

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

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

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

COWLS

I designed these cowls. The green with pink was published in the Loom Knitters Circle . That really made me proud. I will add the pattern here later.



I loom knitted this cowl some time ago with homespun yarn and some beads. It is so soft and comfortable You can cover your head and even your mouth when it gets really cold.You can find the pattern at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/decoraccentsinc/ in the files section.

September Swap Scarf

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

I loomed these fingerless gloves following Isela's pattern but I added the beads, which I like so much so here are mixed my favorite color, purple, looming and beading. I will put a tutorial on it in a week.

Variation of the Pinwheel Baby Blanket

She enjoys her blanket and that makes me happy!!!!





This is a pattern from Denise Layman http://www.knitchat.com/2006/10/06/its-a-boy/

The variation is in the edge, instead of loom knitting a see saw edge, I crocheted with shell and drop stitch and added a ribbon.

Gabriela singing"Touch me in the morning"

My daughter sings beautifully and not only because I am her mom, but she does!!! (smile)

Arelli's Bracelet

I loom knitted this bracelet with seed beads on my favorite color, purple.

The pattern of this bracelet was made up by Isela Phelps, a great loom knitter and a great person.

Capelet I hand knitted for me on 2006

Being purple and lilac my favorite colors I knitted this capelet for me just following the same paths as for Gabriela's.

Fourth and final part for the two color side scarf

You will find that it has been edited because it was too long and you tube rejected.

I am glad this videos have been helpful to spread loom knitting.

Part three for the two side color scarf

The video had to be edited. You tube rejected it for being too long, so part four will be coming then.

Part two for the two side color project

Cheri - Belgian Shepherd

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.

Two color sided scarf

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

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.
