Episode 27 Cricket Loom Part 4

In this episode, I’ll begin weaving my scarf and will show you how to tie off the ends as you begin the scarf. This prevents having to tie off the ends once the scarf is removed from the loom. The ends will be much more even and it doesn’t warp the end of the scarf. The same procedure is repeated at the end of the scarf when finished.

Craft Write Episode 21 Rectangular Knitting Loom
August 7th, 2009 at 11:33 am (Uncategorized, Crafts, Knitting)
In this episode, I’m demonstrating how to do a simple e-wrap blanket using the Provo Craft Rectangular Knitting Loom. I’ll show you how to cast on the first and second rows and how to bind off. I’m using two strands of Red Heart worsted weight yarn. You can use a single strand of a thicker yarn, but I wanted a cushiony blanket for a shelter animal and doubling the worsted weight yarn produces this.

I think this is my favorite part of the Cat Screen - adding the butterflies. Products used include Makin’s Fabric, Fabric Mod Podge, and Plaid Folk Art Fabric Paint. Still ahead: shading the bricks and adding the flower pot.
