loom flowers

post from craftlog on 04 March 2011 07:34:16 PM. © craftlog

Home sick for two days and working my way through the backlog on the Tivo since I dispatched all my Law and Order reruns yesterday.  I found a cache of Knit and Crochet Today episodes from January that I had never gotten around to watching.  One was on using flower looms (to make a truly hideous scarf).  It reminded me that I got a set of looms at a garage sale last year and never gave it a try (typical).

Cathy of California also has a good tutorial.

The first one, using hemp string and a small loom, came out way too country-cute for my taste.  This is not helped by the button, but I needed to cover up my uneven stitches holding everything together.

The second one, of kitchen twine and thread on a large loom with a small inner ring of pegs, is a little more interesting.  But still very very home ec.

Oh well.  They are quick to do at least.
