    I have a secret mission to try and get my 5-year-old niece into knitting. I think she might be a bit too young to handle actual knitting needles, but over Christmas we tried out finger knitting and she really liked it. I think with finger knitting you can only really make a long worm. Once the worm scarf was done she got a bit over ambitious and she wanted to make the worm into a hat for her dolls and staple a pompom onto it but that obviously didn’t work out and she got a bit frustrated. So I thought the next time I see her maybe we could try loom knitting. I’ve never done it before so I made this little hat to try and learn it so I can show her how later on. It’s quite fun! I wanted to avoid doing any ribbing because it looks like purling is really fiddly on the loom and instead I just made a long tube and then joined the two ends together by putting the bottom stitches back on the loom and passing the loops over. Then I just passed a thread through all the stitches and pulled it tight to make the top. That way there’s literally only one stitch to learn, so no purling or decreases necessary. Even the caston method is really simple. I think she already knows how to make pompoms too. We could probably do the whole thing in an afternoon. I noticed that if you do the knitting the way the instructions tell you you end up with twisted stitches. I guess that is ok because the pegs on the loom are really far apart and it sort of forces you to have a really loose gauge so maybe the twisting will help make it a little bit tighter. #knitting #LoomKnitting

    Biked to Alewife to pick up car. Had a few possible routes sketched out, but trying to navigate phone maps and streets in the biting windchill was a bit much. Went with one I'd memorized. Passed by a ghost bike on Mass ave: 💔 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_bike#BikeTooter

    Can any of you make these animal hug socks? I don't know how much time it would take, or the cost of materials and the pattern, but they are really popular all of a sudden. I think they would look so cute to wear around the house. I've seen them in sloth, rabbit, panda, red tailed panda, koala, axolotl, bunny, bat, cow, dinosaur, raccoon, and tiger.I would happily purchase these from an independent small business knitter. I would NOT buy them from a big company. (They won't be as nice as the picture anyway.)Edited to say that it did not occur to me, but the image could certainly be A.I. generated in order to trick the consumer into buying an inferior product. What I am wondering is if it's possible to make this and have it look like the picture? #knitting #crochet #knittersofmastodon #knitter #knittersOfFediverse
