PIP your Friday night

Because this is happening at my house right now:

Aww puppy cuddles!

I don't think anyone cares to see a pic of my laundry or the TV, lol. That's about all that's going on here!

Oh, I could screenshot Twitter, I'm "Twitter watching" my college hockey game aka I don't have cable or an app to stream it so I'm reading what people say on Twitter to keep up. Haha. Really one of the few reasons I ever go on Twitter...

estrellita - I had to do that one year for the OSU vs. UofO annual Civil War football game. We didn't get the channel it was on and we couldn't find it streaming anywhere, so we had to follow along with Twitter and Facebook.

So I taught myself how to knit before with YouTube. It was okay but a looong process and if you miss a loop then your whole life sucks. Well I saw some looms on Amazon and figured I'd give it a shot.

The beginnings of my first hat.

I've made 3 hats tonight- the newborns one above, a premie hat, and a super soft girl hat that would fit a 6+ month baby. I'm excited to make some for work and I think the pink premie hat will fit my little 2 lb patient at work!

MrsAggie, that looks like fun! I'm a crocheter because of the dropped stitch issue with knitting. I assume it's easy to make different sizes? Do you have a link of the one you bought?

It is a million times easier to use a loom. I'm never going back! I bought round looms to try out hats specifically but they have them in all shapes and sizes. I plan on getting one for blankets too.

MrsAggie - I've been wanting to try knitting with a loom! Thanks for posting the link! Your hats are adorable.

Thanks, I just added it to my wish list.

MrsAggie I didn't know the looms could do blankets. I will be looking into that. I drop too many stitches when knitting as well. Your hats are cute.
