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. :)
