Curtain Tie Back Idea

I woke up this morning and decided to open some of my windows to let the cool breeze outside in for a little bit. However, I needed to do something to let the breeze in past the curtains so I grabbed some pieces of nearby yarn (isn't yarn always nearby? lol) and tied the curtains in the middle.

Then I looked at it, snapped the picture above and thought to myself "I'm a loomer. I can SO do better than a silly, single piece of yarn!" 

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.
