It snowed here in September, so cute winter items are a must because it seems like we use them most of the year. I love making hand knitted/crocheted items, but it just takes sooo long. Enter the “knitting loom”. These are very inexpensive & easy to use. (Only $19.99 for all 4) Great beginner project. Kids can even use these. You can make scarves, hats, booties, squares for an afghan & much more. I can make a baby hat or pair of baby booties in an hour with one of these looms instead of 4-5 hours if I knit or crochet it. Great for using all those scraps of yarn. I make a lot of items with this, & donate them to charity. Here are some of my favorite free patterns for knitting looms.
Step by step instructions with pictures on how to get started with your knitting loom.
Even make dolls with the loom.
Free scarf & poncho patterns & much more from Roberts.
Save a lot of money on Christmas gifts this year, or even start your own craft business with these easy to use looms.

This is a great beginning crochet project. You can crochet these roses that have so many uses in not a lot of time & for not a lot of money. You can stick a pin on the back & turn it into a brooch, sew them onto a scarf, or glue the smaller ones to barrettes. It took me 20-45 minutes to create each of these great roses. I especially love the navy one I did in chenille yarn it looks kind of like velvet. This is a great idea for Christmas presents, they are virtually free if you already have some scrap yarn & a crochet hook. It might also be cool to see how these did on etsy or at a craft fair. I used the free pattern at lionbrand yarn. It’s free ( I know I already said I just like things that are free. They have lots of great free knitting & crocheting projects if you register with them (also free).
