Making a Loom Cat Tube

| 0 comments

Coco loves to burrow in things. She’s always in my purse digging around for something to steal, and lately she’s decided the bags I use for grocery shopping are extra fun to hide in and then strewn all over the kitchen floor. This has inspired my next loom knitting project – a cat tube.

Originally when I started this, I was thinking of using the largest round loom to make a cat tubbie, similar to a few I made for my last crew of old kitties. After making a few of these in the past, I learned that I needed to have thicker yarn or the sides eventually slumped.

So this time I used double strands of Red Heart Super Saver and started looming away.

After I started getting further into this, I realized that probably Coco would prefer a real tube versus a tubbie, so I’m continuing to make it longer and longer. This is much thicker than my previous tubbies, but I’m still not totally thrilled with the thickness.

So now my thoughts are that I’m going to make this super long, and then fold it in half and stitch it up so that it is quadruple thickness. Hopefully, Coco will appreciate the effort.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
