    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

    I like how lacy this it turning out. It would be twice the length had I not stained the beginning edge and started over last week 😂 #knitting

    The end of knitting this textured patterning is in sight.

    @knitting @fiberarts More pictures - I'm just so proud of this cardigan. The fit is absolutely perfect and is an ideal second layer insideA few notes on what I did to make it fit my body: I added about 10 cm additional width around the front. Partly by an extra increase round after the yoke was finished, partly by adding some bust increases at the armhole after parting sleeves and body. This gave me the necessary width, where it was necessary 1/x#knitting #fiberarts #HandmadeWardrobe
