Lace It Up!

I have said this a few times and decided I would share an idea that is "still in the works" but if you want to try go right ahead! (Just share the finished product with us.)

So here is the idea:

Flashback: Simple Adult Blanket

Flashback 2011

This was on our queen size bed, not queen size though.

I made this blanket for my mother-in-law in 2011 and she loves it when she sitting in her recliner. It was very simple to do. I used an "S" loom (DA Infinity II loom you have seen in my videos but isn't made anymore). I just did the whole blanket in the e-wrap knit stitch minus the garter stitch at the beginning and end.

I used Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn (3.5 oz skeins of Peachy & White) the following way:

Need: S Loom *May end up a little different than showed due to differences in S looms. 

         (4 ) white 3.5 oz skeins

         (7) peachy 3.5 oz skeins

1. white

2. peachy

3. white

4, peachy

5. peachy

6. peachy

7. peachy

8. peachy

9. white

10. peachy

11. white

Each skein was used fully (as long as I could finish a row). It was easy, once one was done, move onto the next. You can still do the garter stitch to help with curling at the begining and end or easily modify this by doing either knitting or purling for each skein.

*This was around 5ft wide, as for length I don't remember but it is on a queen size bed in the picture. 

Freezer Pop Cozie

Freezer Pop Cozie

Very simple, like 5 minutes, project. Using the bigger side of my spool loom and some leftover Bernat Baby Blanket yarn I created this quick pop cozie for my daughter to use. Just wait until after you insert the freezer pop to open it. You will need to wiggle it through since it may catch a little during the process. But still, quick and simple.

I inserted the yarn through the spool loom first so there was at "tail" to gently pull on the other end to help the project come through. Because of the thickness of the yarn and the smaller opening on the other side, having the "tail" worked well. I did the e-wrap knit until I had the length I wanted (a little more than the length of the spool loom) and did the crochet bind off with 2 chains in between.

My daughter loved it! Make sure to use a thick yarn. Yarn used was a weight of 6.
