jenlar's adventure into excessive randomness: whatever's on my mind...

This is just a spot for my random musings on the things that I enjoy... family, friends, music, TV, pop culture, and all things Disney. I probably won't be doing any "deep thoughts" types of entries. It's all about having fun. Enjoy!

The easiest useful craft I've ever done...

At the Southeast Homeschool Expo, there was a lady from JoAnn was demonstrating the Knifty Knitter 2 from Provo Craft.

This is the coolest thing. Jasmine is making a green hat. She is having no trouble whatsoever. I've already made about five or so, from scrap yarn.

If making hats isn't your "thing" you can go back & forth instead of making circles and you'll have rectangles of all sizes. Make several long strips, sew them together, and make a blanket!

Jazzie is modeling NaNa's hat, and Tristan is very unhappy about modeling a hat that doesn't meet his specifications.


Next, Jazzie models her blue, sparkly hat that I made to match a scarf that I made a few weeks ago, and Tristan models *my* giant hat. The last picture is of my hat, over the laptop, showing (but not very well) the detail of the stitches. NaNa's, Jazzie's, and mine all have a band. Tristan's has a little roll at the bottom instead of a band. It's really cute, even if he doesn't like it.


Anyway, it's good, easy fun. Pick up a set!

You know, I think loom knitting hats may be addictive...I think the FDA should launch an investigation!
