Scarf and flower pin

Hi all,

Today I am sharing a scarf I made using the small flower loom from Knifty Knitter. First of all I wan t to start by saying that I do not know how to knit/crochet or anything like that so I purchased the Knifty Knitter looms to give it a try. I have found that some of the directions are confusing to me, a novice when it comes to knit/crochet terminology, but I figured out how to do the very basic stitch on the loom.

Here is a skinny scarf I made for me and my friends in our favorite pink and green colors!
I loom knitted the scarf until it was 6 feet long, and then I cast it off the loom. I tied on some pink strands for the fringe. Its hard to see, but the hot pink yarn is sparkly. :)

Here is the loom I used and a close up of the flower I made to go on the scarf:

The flower was made by wrapping around the loom in a figure 8 pattern on pegs across from each other. Quite frankly I winged this, and all the flowers I made are a tad different. LOL

i attached a pin to the back of the flower as i was creating the center of the flower on the loom. I then just tied off the ends of yarn on the back side.

I am sorry that my knitter directions are not very clear. I recommend going to You Tube and searching for videos on Loom Knitting. I watched a lot of videos to help me understand what I was doing.

As I stated earlier, I am quite the novice at this, but i really liked making these and I am eager to try another loom project soon.

Thanks for visiting today.

Have a Great and Crafty Day!

Princessaurus Shirt

Hi all!

Today I am sharing a t-shirt I made for my cousin's daughter. She loves dinosaurs and its not too easy to find girly dinosaur shirts.

I cut this cute dino from Create a Critter at about 5 inches. I used two different colored pink heat transfer vinyl and layered the pieces. I did use my Gypsy to hide a few contours on two of the layers.

The font is from Nursery Rhymes, its 1.25 inches. I really like it and use it a lot for my girly font. I used Glitter heat transfer vinyl for the hat as well as the font. Normally I would lay out the letters exactly how I want them to be on the shirt and then cut it that way, however, I didn't want there to be too much waste with the glitter vinyl, so I cut them separately and ironed them on one at a time.

The hat was cut from Once Upon a Princess. I sized it up on my Gypsy to fit the dino's head.

After I ironed on all my vinyl, I took a few thin strips of glittery tulle and sewed them to the tip of the hat. I added a few heat set gems to the hat as well.

I am quite pleased with how well it turned out. It is the first time I ever made a shirt with this type of vinyl layering. I am eager to try more vinyl designs on clothing.

Thanks for visiting today!
