In which I trim my own bonnet.
*(I’m reblogging the following post from opusanglicanum because I also love hats and I love how she remade this hat with her own card woven band. TLD)
Those of you who’ve met me will know I like hats, because it’s kind of obvious. I’ve always been this way. When my mum was marrying my stepdad she asked what I wanted to wear, and…

A Hard Lesson About Row Counter Apps
It’s kind of odd that I’m finally reading this. I was going to download an app for row counting, etc. and then promptly forgot about it. I guess I’ll just wait for now.
One of the neato things you can do with old bowling balls (and one of the reasons I get sucked in by facebook).
Okay. For the record: I like facebook. It’s a great place to hang with friends, far and near. It’s a nice, quiet place to have an awesome chat. It’s also a place that I can get sucked in with all of the nifty, neato things you can do with cast off items. One of these items is a bowling ball. I found this post tonight and decided that I most definitely need to find at least one old bowling ball, so I can make one of these cute lawn creatures, as shared by https://www.facebook.com/usbc.
When it’s time to retire your bowling balls, there are so many cool things you can do with them! Check it out!!

How to build your own multi-purpose loom!
This post is for all of you DIYers that are interested in building a nice, portable, standing weaving loom. This is the same loom I use for darn near everything I weave. It costs less than $50 to make. The pdf file is free to download. You can sell all of the looms you want. DO NOT sell my pattern.
The following pictures are merely for reference while you’re building your loom. Please, if you have any questions, contact me and I’ll do the best I can to help. (And yes, the little folding loom on the floor, to the left of the standing loom, is a tapestry loom that I also made. When time permits, I will do up the instructions for this one as well.)
The above photo of the loom has a rug on the front side of it and I turned it around to start a card weaving (it’s the dog leash I currently walk Princess Vanity with)!!
Get busy and weave something!!!
Handy, dandy circular knitting needle chart!
This is a neat little chart that tells what length circulars to use for a given number of stitches. I found it on my facebook feed and it was posted by AllFreeKnitting and Knit-N-Purl!
