I am so proud.... I am getting my Purple Spinning goose done BEFORE the end of the month!! Go me!! I'll take the win!!! Are you ready???
Every time I post photos of the hats.. I get asked what pattern I use... and you all know I am a quilter ...not a knitter, so I never know how exactly to answer - but here is the what I do ;-)
We use these LOOMS:
and I followed this tutorial: Knit hat and I made mine like this:
To make the ones with a brim - you stitch 20 rows and fold in half ( back up on the loom) them make 30 more rows
I use the pink one for the kids hats, and the purple one for my husbands hats.

ReplyDeleteAnd your hats look great. Including your most recent one. I'm in a stitching group that meets weekly and quite a few of the ladies are using the looms to make hats. I need to borrow one to see if I like it enough cause I sure have yarn leftovers and new skeins. Something like 3 banker's boxes full. (Maybe more...) Your doing well on the RSC challenge. I wonder what color May will be?
ReplyDeleteYour spinning goose blocks look great. Love all those plaids!
ReplyDeleteLove all the plaids. :) And those hats are great. We gave one of our grand-daughters a loom set. She started one, but then moved on. What was so funny was that Grandpa was the one teaching her how to use it. Not me, her mom or auntie... all who have used looms like that and know how to knit & crochet. It was pretty entertaining!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great block! Love the purple, but really all the colors look great in your spinning goose (geese? lol).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shades of purple in your block--nice work on the hats, too!
ReplyDeleteYour hats are delightful! I get a bit teary when I see those knitting looms. My darling Mum, who was an avid knitter and quilter, had a paralysing stroke, and this was the only knitting she could then do with her single good hand. She used to wedge the loom into her lap and under her immobile arm, and managed to turn out quite a few hats. She is very much missed.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look fabulous! I like the multi hat to finish up some yarn scraps. Oh yes you can definitely have yarn scraps!!
ReplyDeleteI like the multi color scrap hat. Your spinning geese look great!
ReplyDeleteI love your spinning geese. Those will make a lively quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe hats are cute! And I love how those little touches of plaid just MAKE those blocks.
ReplyDeleteEvery spinning goose block you make is my favorite - lol! They are so pretty, and the plaids are genius.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten that I copied your tutorial - thank you again for that. :)
I love your Spinning Goose blocks. It's amazing all the colors of plaids you have - so cool.
ReplyDeletePretty PURPLE plaid addition to your collection of blocks, Alycia!! Thanks for including the link to that loom knitting tutorial. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have plaids in every color of the rainbow! The Spinning Goose block is a neat one. Pretty hats, too - you are so good at that!
ReplyDeleteI admire the talent of those who knit,I tried it years ago & just couldn't get into it,the spinning goose blocks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your purple block, Alycia. I've seen those looms but I don't knit, though I do crochet!!
ReplyDeleteThe Spinning goose blocks are gorgeous, what a lovely pattern, and I love the plaid flying geese. Cute hats too, the purple yarn looks very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, and linking up!
