Tammy Powley’s Crafty Weblog

Loom Day Tomorrow

| 4 Comments

Last week, we taught crochet. This week we are tackling crochet (again) and adding loom knitting at our craft club meeting. I have never taught loom knitting to anyone. Heck, it is still kind of new to me, so this should be interesting. My hope is that they all find is super easy, fall in love with it, but still want to pick up a crochet hook too. At least at this point, I feel that I have figured out the basics of round looms. For example, one big issue is thickness of yarn. While you can try looping the yarn multiple times around, I’ve discovered doubling worsted or going up to chunky is really the way to go to get the best results. I’ve also learned to pay attention more so than you’d think because it is so easy to miss a peg, and then whatever you are making is basically toast! Fingers crossed – we have another great meeting this week!

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.
