    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

    Friends!Six weeks to the day when I first cast this on, and I’m happy to tell you that the #Startrek double #knitting scarf is complete!This has been such a fun, and very challenging, project to make, at times feeling like it was never going to end.I decided to make it fully, including the beads and I also added a fringe because every scarf needs a fringe if you ask me!This is a surprise Christmas gift for a very close friend who’s a huge fan, I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he gets it!I’m going to take a break from knitting now for this month, but there’s lots of other fun stuff lined up for next year.Some stats for nerds:611 rows.84 stitches per row. 51,324 stitches in total.450 beads.1000 metres of yarn.260 cm long, 20 cm wide.42 days in total.Around 100 hours of knitting.

    @ascentale @bikenite A8. I went to Ciclavia in South Central LA this past weekend. I didn't take many pictures of the route but I managed to make my first visit to the Watts Towers. #bikeNite
