Loom Knitting Free Patterns and Instructions



My Aunt and my Mom have both developed an interest in loom knitting. I am hoping to pick up the basics soon. As I was researching the topic I added patterns to the previous holiday articles and the ones to be released. Do check them out if you are looking for ideas. Mom was thrilled about the loom snowman. I am hoping this means I will get to see a finished product.

On a Personal Note



I finally have all the article links up and posted. That is what I started this blog to accomplish. I do eventually hope in addition to providing resources for people that I will also have a chance to share some of the enjoyment I have from doing my own crafts. I come from a long line of crafters. My grandmothers all were engaged in sewing. My father’s Mom was an amazing quilter, my maternal Gram loved to make clothes. My Mom and Aunt both crochet and knit. Even the next two generations are knitting and sewing. I have an older sister that makes the most beautiful pieces of counted cross stitch. It is nice to see the traditions continue. Yesterday my Aunt gave me my Great Aunt’s crochet needles and it is such a great gift because she was an amazing woman with a crochet hook.
