Loom knitting eliminates the needles and makes knitting quick as a breeze. No machine needed, the looms are very portable and handy for just about anyplace you want to take them.
I am always disappointed by the sheer lack of patterns for loom knitting. Loom knitting is just perfect for a quick project and/or for people that just can't get a handle on knitting with two needles.

Cable knitting for adult or baby does not need to be intimidating
Knitting is one of the best ways to relax and forget about stress and problems. It can be a mindless pastime that envelopes you in the creativity of yarn. Now how was that for poetry. Well, okay, I love it. And there are tons of things you can do with two knitting needles and a beautiful ball of yarn. And it certainly doesn’t matter if you are knitting for baby or for an adult. Cables work for adult and baby knitting patterns.
The technique we will discuss today is cabling, and it has nothing to do with television. It is a wonderful technique that makes your knitted item look so elegant and interesting. It gives texture and depth. It is just beautiful.
And it is so easy. Really! If you have the basics of knitting, you can do this. All you need is a third needle. I use the shorter double pointed needle, like the kind you use to make socks. But there are actually cable needles and hooks that you can purchase but there is really no need, just another unnecessary expense.
So what you do is simply place some stitches on the third needle as you are knitting along and then knit a few more stitches and then go back and knit those stitches you placed on the third needle. I realize I am oversimplifying for you. I just want you to realize it is doable and really not scary at all. I am going to give you some video links to help you get this.
This first video will show you how to cable using the right handed, yarn throwing method which is how I knit.
This second video will help you if you are a leftie and you knit pick as your style of knitting.
I hope you won’t be intimidated to try cabling. It is so beautiful, interesting and fun. Look for baby knitting patterns for cable projects. You’ll get the same quick gratification and a wonderful new look.
If you want some more videos and some free patterns to test out your new skills with, please have a look at my article on Factoidz.com. and here is part two of my cabling article.

Really…I am too busy, I can’t find time to do all the thingsI need or better yet, WANT to do. I love to knit my baby knitting patterns. When am I supposed to do it?
I know you know what I mean! There is the house, the pets,the yard, the job, the online job, many of you have kids on top of that! When are we supposed to knit! For crying outloud!
Well like I said, I found some unused time. Very special andvery, up to know, hidden time… Riding in the car!!

Do you see where I am going with this? You bet! All thosehours can really be put to much better use. In fact the last 2 hour trip myhusband and I took, I completed a baby blanket I had started months ago, butcouldn’t find any time to finish it.
IT’S DONE!!

Before I felt it was wasted time, I had guilt, I should be doing somethingproductive or meeting some goal. Now I am doing just that. I am productive, andmeeting a goal.
I am relaxing and feeding my love of knitting.

An Amazing Revelation! Baby Yarn For Me!
It occurred to me one of the reasons I love knitting for babies is the yarn. I mean really have you thought about this? It is soooooooo soft and squishy, hold it next to your cheek and you feel calm and gentle and you think babies. So what am I saying here, we all know baby yarn is great. Well here it is, wait for it…
Baby yarn should be used for us adults too!!
Yes! I mean it. What stops us from using this incredible yarn for some little something for ourselves? Oh I am not suggesting you use it to knit an ensemble. We know that it would take dozens of balls of yarn to make an adult outfit. But it would not take too much to make a scarf, can you imagine that up against your neck and face on a cold wintry day? I can.
So I had to try it. A few posts ago, I told you about that phenomenal deal I got on some fabulous baby yarn on my day trip. It was fantastic! But I didn’t really have a plan for the yarn. I’m sure you have done that yourselves. You see a beautiful color, or wonderful texture and you impulse buy it or the contingency plan that you will, of course, have an opportunity to use it eventually.
So I decided to use it for me. I made one of those little neck kerchiefs that really hug your face, one tail of the scarf slides into a loop on the other end and it snugs up to your chin. I love it. And it is so SOFT!

What can I say? It was brilliant. I had so much fun. Hey I like knitting for me too. I sure you do too. Try some baby yarn next time.
Try this pattern, it is so elegant and beautiful. And when you use baby yarn it is to die for. So nice because you can make it any size you like. Based on how much yarn you have and how much energy you want to expend.
The pattern is in multiples of 10, so just cast on how ever many you want for the width of your choice. Use any size needle you want, realizing that a larger needle is going to take more yarn. Enjoy.

I Started a New Knitting Project. HELP!!
No, No, I am not sorry I started a new knitting project, but I am a very busy woman. I am a registered nurse working 3-4 12 hour sifts a week, and I am an online business woman, and I squidoo. So when do I have any time, especially free time.
Well, if you have read my blog at all, you know that I love knitting, I do every chance I get. One of my favorite times to knit is on break at work, I can actually have an uninterrupted hour of joy. So why am I lamenting?
Remember the blog post I made about the bargain yarn I found and bought, because I just had to have it, It was so beautiful, what was I to do, I bought it. Well after you buy something like that, so gorgeous, so must have, you eventually decide to make something with it. Thus the lament.
I started an adult knitting project. Can you believe that?! I now have a huge project going, it is so much larger than what I am used to. I have to change colors and it has cables, It is really very pretty, it is a sweater. I am sure I will love it, it is already very nice, but it is inconvenient and heavy and I can’t take it with me anymore, now that it is a bit too big to haul to work with me.
So now I am trying to force time out of thin hair, I want to finish it, really I do. But of course, I have stuffed my work bag with one of my baby knitting projects that is small, quick and easy to carry, and that I love so much.
I will finish my new project and I will wear it proudly. Maybe it shows me to be a grown-up knitter now. And what’s more I probably will do other grown-up knitting projects. I have enjoyed it and who knows I might someday find extra time just lying around, you never know. But for now, I am going to stick to my first love…baby knitting patterns.
Not that I think you are. It really can help

The Joy of Collecting Baby Yarns and Baby Kitting Patterns
A wonderful Step by Step Guide to help you start knitting those beautiful baby knitting patterns
As we have talked about several times, knitting is a wonderful hobby, and knitting baby patterns is especially wonderful because of the less time and expense involved in choosing, and completing a project. Sometimes you can have a project started and you happen to find a beautiful must-have yarn. What do you do? Buy it of course.
You do know that you can never have enough yarn. I have three trunks full of yarn, baby yarn, and yarns suitable for older people projects. What are the advantages of this? Well I’m glad you asked.
If you have yarn readily available, there is never such a thing as boredom or being unprepared ever again. If it is a rainy cold day, I can spend hours going through my yarns and choosing the one that I will start a new project with. And if I get word that someone is having a new baby, I am instantly ready to get their gift ready for them.
But best of all it is wonderful to just collect the beautiful textures and colors and it makes you feel good. We have already talked about how buying baby yarns and baby knitting patterns is never going to break the bank due to the small size and thus smaller amounts needed. So you can afford to increase your stock without guilt. And always be ready.
There are many places to find good bargains on yarn and patterns. There are the regular brick and mortar stores that you can shop, especially this time of year, you can find fantastic bargains. But if you can go online, there is no end to what you can find. Any store that is in a mall that you might drive to, you can shop at online. And you can find coupons online to make it even more affordable. You can even find tons of free patterns on and off line.
One of the absolute best places to find unlimited free baby knitting patterns is at your local library. Knitting is so popular these days that a good public library will offer a very wide selection of knitting books. This provides you with basically limitless pattern choices. Using the library also gives you the option of checking out multiple books at one time so that you can search for the absolute best pattern for your particular project. An added benefit is that you have the full-colored example to guide you while you’re working on your project. And, if you decide you really like the book, you can always buy a copy for your own personal library.
If you have a computer or access to one, a whole new world of free baby patterns opens up for you. Of course, many knitting-related sites provide free patterns in the hope that you will purchase their knitting yarn or other knitting supplies. However, with the increasing number of personal blogs online, you can now find many avid knitters who enjoy sharing their personal baby knit patterns for free. Since everyone doesn’t necessarily know about these blogs, you have the option of making a one-of-a-kind item for your special baby.
It is endless fun and adventure in shopping and then hours of crafting joy! Hey what are you waiting for, get to shopping and knitting!!

When Yarn Is So Perfect, It Just Has To Be Yours
I had a most wonderful time on my vacation recently. My husband and did one of those stay-cations, you know where you stay home It was so nice. No packing, no huge laundry when I got home, minimal expense.
Well anyway, we did several daytrips and one of them was to a little tourist town in mid-state Michigan, called Frankenmuth. It is wonderful, it is an actual little German town that was settled over a hundred years ago. It is still a functioning town with their own government and fire station and police etc. but its bread and butter are the tourists. That would be me.
We make a pilgrimage to this town once a year. And I look forward to it for several months. Not only do they have the best food, quaint little ships, and friendly people, they have yarn!
Yes! Yarn. There is ship there called Rapunzel’s. It is a shop of the most extravagant yarns and patterns and needles and people that enjoy knitting and crocheting and they love to talk about it, show you how and give you examples. And they always have really great sales. They would have to because their yarn is so outrageous I can’t afford it. Oh sure, it is the coolest yarn, you know unusual yarns, alpaca, cashmere, huge hanks of yarn that will roll for you. Which of course is part of the whole experience.
Well I couldn’t wait to get there. I walked in and was greeted like an old friend. I started immediately to touch and smell and drool over all the beautiful selections. The ladies were showing me this and that patterns and what could be done with them. They are such great sales people, but I held my ground, I knew what I was going for.
And then there it was. The most beautiful yarn ever, a large hank of multi-colored soft fluffy wool, so soft, so beautiful. I loved it, it had to be mine.
But Wait! I firmly believe in never paying retail and I am a great shopper, so I walked slowly toward it, I lingered just at the edge of the table before I finally picked up that gorgeous yarn and flipped over the price tag and …….
Well what did you expect? Of course, it was the best deal in the store. I got that $28.50 hank of yarn for $12.00! Yes! It was on sale.
So what is the point of this little story? There is yarn out there that is calling your name, that is priced exactly right and is going to show when you want it most. When it just has to be yours… that is when it will find you.
Now go shopping and knit something perfect!
What is it that stops us from knitting our wonderful baby knitting patterns?
There are some days I am certain two or three hours have gone missing. There just isn’t enough time! On some days it seems like not enough time for anything. No fun or play just work and clean and worry. I am sure you recognize in this world there is plenty to worry about, but I think that is the very reason we need to make time for play too.
Sometimes, it is the place to knit. Some people feel that they need a special place. That lovely rocking chair or a special craft room, or me, I love sitting on my deck in the evening, listening to the sounds of nature and knitting all my baby knitting patterns. But if I can’t get to my deck, maybe it is raining, should that mean that I don’t knit that day.
Sometimes, we have a schedule to keep, house to clean, meals to cook, children to bathe, an perhaps a job to work. Well some of us are so regimented that we will not allow ourselves the “luxury” of some “me” time. Rubbish! We need it!
If we have schedules to keep, why not “schedule” your time to include some knitting?
I guarantee you will never regret it. You will feel better, be happier and more tolerant of the world around you.
The point of this post is to encourage all of us, myself included not to forget the importance of allowing ourselves some relaxation time. To allow ourselves the opportunity to soul search or meditate or simply think of nothing. But to have the time to do something we really enjoy doing, in this case, knitting.
Think of the message we are sending our children. I am harried, frantic and grumpy because there isn’t enough time in the day. Or, I am important too, and I am going to make the best use of the time I have, balanced between work and play.
So go ahead and try it. Give yourself permission to enjoy the basic pleasure of knitting our precious baby knitting patterns.
