Creating a Non-Loopy Ewrap Cast on
In my constant search for a nice and clean edge for my loom knit items, I have found a few ways to create the cast on. The one I demonstrate in this video is one of my favorites and it has become my go-to for all my items. It is done quite a bit like the regular ewrap cast on, except you skip every other peg. Once you have gone around the loom, ewrapping every other peg, you will get to the next round and you will Step 1: knit the first peg Step 2: pick up the ladder coming... Continue reading

Sock Loom Video: His & Hers Sock Loom Set-Video 2
The next installment for the His & Hers Sock looms is here! Sorry for the delay, my computer didn't want to upload all the videos and then it took like what seem 20-hours to edit and process. So, what exactly is happening in this video? You will be creating the heel of the sock. In this video, you will see demonstrated a short-row heel. Wait, wait, what is a short-row. A short-row is a shaping technique used in knitting. A short-row is exactly that, a row that is not worked all the way to the end. You will partially work... Continue reading

Sock Loom Video: His & Hers Sock Loom Set
I have received a few nudges to create a video demonstrating how to use the His & Hers Sock Looms by KB Looms. First, let's start by saying that socks are my favorite things to knit. If I only had to knit one item for the rest of my life, it would most likely be socks with cables. The set by KB Looms is labeled as His and Hers, but it doesn't mean that one has to use one or the other. Work with the one that fits you the best. I have a small foot, so for me, the...

Messy Bun Hat Video
Hi friends, It has been awhile since I last created a video, but some of you (about 50 requests in less than one day) were requesting a video showing how to do the Messy Bun Hat. I apologize for the small screen. I only have my phone to take video. I hope the video helps out some of you. Have a great holiday! Messy Bun Hat Pattern NOTE: If you are using a different knitting loom than what is called in the pattern, keep the following in mind: Pattern requires a peg count that is a multiple of 4 (40,...

Working out while pregnant
I don't remember being this tired in my previous pregnancies. Could it be my age? All I know is that I am exhausted by 3pm. I can take naps on demand now, something that was very rare in the past. Last Sunday, I slept all day, I think I took 5 naps, long naps too. It has been a mental struggle getting myself to go to the gym. I know working out makes me feel better, about 100% better, but having the energy to get to the gym is where it is lacking. Lack of energy has never been in my vocabulary, not anymore! I have been diligent in listening to my body and still working out. I am pleased to say that I have made it 5 out of 7 days every week. I always take Sundays off and in the past I used to workout Mon-Sat, but now, I take a break in between. My goal is to continue the trend of working out every day. I want to continue weightlifting, and hopefully soon, I can start running again without the peanut squishing my blatter every 2 steps (he seems to be sitting right on top of it right now). In an effort to help other expectant moms, I want to log my workouts and how I feel. I have heard the myths about exercising while pregnant and I hope that I am able to help others who are unsure. Note: I have been doing crossfit for 4+ years, and have been running for 8 years (running, as in running half marathons and marathons). I am not starting from scratch. My body is used to what I am doing right now, and I am not introducing anything new to the mix. Keep that in mind when starting a... Continue reading
