craftgrrl | First project with Knifty Knitter

Last Sunday, I spent the whole day with my mom, while my husband went deer hunting with my dad and brother at my parents' home. Mom and I went to Michael's (they just opened the new store a few weeks ago) first. They happened to have a demonstration on how to use the Knifty Knitter. I bought one on sale (was supposed to be 14.99 but was on sale for 9.99! Walmart has those for 11.99). The demonstrator was an interesting person. It was a man, who was working at Michaels. He was bald but had inch thick sideburns, and tattooed all over. He actually volunteered to do it, which confused his co-workers! Mom and I went up (mom interpreted most of it) and asked him how to use it, since I was buying it. It was so easy! Mom was laughing at the unexpected appearance of the demonstrator but it certainly made it interesting. Hey, if he can do it, I can do it!

Now I'm proudly showing off my first project which I just finished this morning! I used cheap regular black yarn and *sky blue* fun fur. What could I make with those?

(inside view) Halfway done. You can see the Knifty Knitter loom thing and the yarn already knitted.

same thing here. :) Just sideways view.

Finished result! with the yarns in view.

Close up. Sorry it's not a great picture. Wish my camera had a good focus feature in it...but oh well.

My husband wants a camo hat...but without the fun fur of course. I found some camo yarn...but he wants the bright orange hunter color woven into it (just like my hat). I can't find it anywhere, which I'm surprised because it's hunting season here! What other colors would be good with the camo yarn?

Dad also wants a camo hat...probably just gonna be camo only or with black. He'll be happy with whatever I make. Mom wants a scarf with black fun fur. :) Cheap Christmas gifts! Easy on the budget. :-D

Also...what other colors should I mix for my next project for myself? (scarf or hat...maybe a pillow or even a purse?) I like it mixed...makes it more interesting and not boring. :)
