Knitting on the knitting loom.

My aunt gave my youngest (and me) these knitting looms for Christmas.
Immedietly we had to give it a try.  This is great,  I could not get the hang of regular knitting when I was a kid.  On this loom, I am flying through!!!!
I am sure you can pick these items up at WalMart (where my aunt usually shops), JoAnn Fabrics (another favorite place of my aunt) or any craft store.  However, I have provided the links to the items we received for Amazon.( **Disclaimer:  all Amazon links are affiliate links.  I may receive a "commission" if you purchase)

The yarn we got, I love.  It's called Sweet Roll,  it has 3 colors in one spool.



Here is Callie, just getting started.  And its just a practice piece really.  And her finished piece.

I decided to try to make a headband, to keep me warm :)
here it is about half way done. 

So it took me about a week to finish.  But only because I didn't work on it all the time,  just a few minutes (half hour) at a time.  

I used regular thread to stitch the ends together.  You can use a knitting needle, but I haven't bought one yet.
Then, because I wanted that "bow" look to it, I made this piece:

and my final project looks like this:


I don't think its too bad, for my first time.  However, it would have been much better if it wasn't the 3 colors, but hey, you work with what you have.  

I do enjoy this, so much I've already started on another project.  I will post that one when done too.

*Let me know what you think.
