Baby washcloths knitted with a small round loom

I made these two washcloths today. They each took an hour or less to make. I am very pleased. :)

I'm definitely going to make some for our family, as well.

New looms and learning to crochet.

So, this morning, I tried knitting a baby washcloth on my small round loom, but I couldn't figure out how to cast on the stitches correctly. The directions told me to knit back and forth, but it was too confusing. So, I went out and bought a set of 5 looms. Included in the set is a large round loom, medium round loom, a flower loom, a small long loom, a hook, a needle and directions/patterns. It's by Knifty Knitter:

Tonight, after I feel satisfied with what I've done around the house, I am going to attempt to make a baby washcloth again.

Oh, I am also teaching myself to crochet, as of today. I've learned the chain stitch, so far, via You Tube. I also checked two "how to crochet" books out from the library. It seems easier than knitting, so far and I figured I should learn it since the loom knitting patterns use crocheting in the patterns.

Knitting

I've decided to start this blog, so I can post pictures of my finished knitting projects and maybe some of my project ideas. I learned to knit about 2 months ago. I taught myself how to cast on and the knit stitch using You Tube and then I started taking classes at a yarn shop called. Yarn Lady. So far, the only project I've finished is a scarf. I will post pics of it soon.
