Fresh off the loom

My hands have been very busy with all sorts of things. I do indoor gardening now. I had to move my container plants into the house to protect them from the cold. The orange blooms you see are nasturtium and they have a scent. My first time growing them. I set the plants up in the living room and turned on a lamp with three bulbs for them. There's a tomato plant behind them. I noticed today that a tiny green tomato is growing. Think it was last year when I had green peppers growing in the living room.
















After reading an article on Lion Brand yarn company's site about their charity of the month, Knit One, Save One, I got in the mood to knit a baby hat on one of my Knifty Knitter looms. Hadn't used them in several months so I had to get the instruction manual out to make sure I remembered correctly what I was doing. I started the baby hat this morning and finished it a short time ago. I'm surprised that I weaved in all of the ends and everything in one day. My first pompom.











Turned out very nicely using Red Heart "Monet." I have a freezer bag with 4 other baby hats that I made in the past that I'm going to put it in until I decide where to donate it.








Yesterday, I began crocheting a blanket that I intend to donate using the Simply Soft yarn that I received from the company for FREE on Tuesday the 14th. I'll share more about that later. You can see the in-progress blanket above behind the hat on the loom.

I have yet another colorful large blanket that I've been working on. One that I started before the Soft Blue one. It's in the colors of the rainbow. I plan on donating it to a local youth home when I finish it along with many other items that I've made, purchased, and acquired for free.
