A challenge to all of you smart knitter’s out there!
<—NOT!
Ok, I know that there is some great, smart, talented needle knitter out there who could figure out how to translate this pattern to the looms! I humbly beg of you in all of your greatness to have mercy on us who do not possess the grand brain power that you have, to please come up with a pattern for these cuties!
I am positive that many loomers out there like meself, would forever, and I mean forever, bow at your blessed feet!
Pretty Please!
And if you are really up for the challenge then these in looming language would be super as well!
Maripositas (Little Bow Stitch/Butterfly Stitch)
—NOT!
My attempt at the Maripositas Stitch
I used Fisherman’s Wool and 27 pegs on one side of my 20″ RG DA board. I used the backwards purl – knit stitch that Isela shows at her site, http://www.loomknit.com
It turned out to be 6″ x 6″ and I want to felt it next, to see how felting the little butterfly stitches will turn out. So I will make sure I post that after I felt it. I added the little bows every 3 rows with no plain rows inbetween, this is why there are so many of them. Oh well, it was just a test swatch…LOL
Thanks Isela for teaching us this beautiful stitch that you admired as a child.

Pastel Delight, Sugar and Cream Dishcloth
Here is my first dishcloth on my new dishcloth rake! I crocheted a little ruffle edge too. I used 35 pegs and the basket weave pattern. This pattern definitely looks different on the front and back. Not in a bad way, but it just has more definition on the front. I actually stopped because I ran out of yarn, and thought it would be too short, but once it was off the rake it was perfect. It is 9 and 1/2 inches square.
Knit Kitty, LoomClass yahoo group project!
<—NOT!
My Knit Kitty (by Brittany Bellows) made on the red KK loom.
I used black wool yarn held together with Whirlygig in black for the body. My body was 19 garter stitch rows.
I used the black wool held together with another unknown black fuzzy yarn I had for the head. I then stitched the head all the way around with one strand of the Whirleygig yarn.
I only used one strand of the Whirlygig for the tail. I only did 9 rows for the tail.
I had so much fun with this little pattern. Thank you Brittany for such a cute kitty! I tied an orange ribbon around her neck and made her in all black, since Halloween is just around the corner.
Memories of our little girl
Our daughter Jennifer moved to St. Petersburg, Florida this past June. She grew up so fast and these are some of her smiles that I would like to share with you…
