Yeah.. Nothing much have been happening. I have been very lazy to do my blog. I have been spending a lot of time in La Crosse WI. I don't really have a lot to write. I have been extremely lazy..

So many things to do and so little time... I even Stop taking pictures.. darn.. Oh well live goes on..

I guess from today onwards, I am going to try and try my best to write something everyday even if it is stupid!!

loom knitting attempted again

This weekend, I decided to buy a book to teach me how to loom as the Internet does not give me the resources i need. I am more a visual knitter. The book help me a lot. I loom knit my first hat. It turn out a little small. So I will be donating that hat to charity. Once I get the hang of doing this, I am planning to knit at least 1 hat every 2 weeks and hopefully by then I have a bunch. I hopefully could find someone to donate some yarn that they are not using. Anyways, I will post a picture of the hat i did here once i take a picture of it.

looming day 2..

What you know.. I started looming and then I didn't like the stitches. I am hoping that I would get a loom with smaller gauge that way the stitches are smaller. So now my hobby is pending. I might just have to start my cross-stitch again... well till later..

Loom knitting night mare day 1....

This is the first day I did my loom knitting. So far, I still have not a clue how to use it. I hope that in the next couple fo weeks that my books will come in.

Right now, I am just attempting to make a hat. I hope that it will come up good. I will post more picts tomorrow.

loom knitting

Today is my first day trying my new round looms. I heard that it is a easy to learn to used. Here are the picture of the looms that I bought, just in case some of you don't' know what it is.

Anyways, the instructions that came with the looms are not very clear, I did my research on the Internet that I could make several items with it. So today began my first day for trying to loom knit my first hat. I will document my progress and will write more about it.

I bet the experience trying a new things will be fun.. and adventure to pursue.

New Hobby

Last week, while sitting in my room, I thought that instead of wasting my time doing nothing, I should get a hobby or something to do. I love reading books but i just can't keep buying and reading books , after a while this hobby get expensive.

Anyways, I went to a craft store to look at needlepoint and I have done it before. I usually like to sew Thomas Kincaid scenery. It usually takes me more then 1 year to complete. As , I was browsing i saw knitting looms. It think it would be okay to try it. Its like knitting with needles but a loom.

I thought if i start doing this i could do it for charity. I bought i first set of round looms. I guess we have to see how that goes...
