On to Wingspan

 April has flown by, and it is time for the Wingspan class to start at yahoogroups. It looks like a nice group, and I hope you will come join. 
 What have I been working on? Well, this is called "Mostly Harmless," named by PamsterG at Ravelry, who has also been testing the pattern for me. It is a great saw-tooth edged scarf, and a lot of fun to loom. 
The first photo shows "Mostly Harmless" in worsted weight, the second in fingering. Both were loomed on the 1/2 inch CinDwood loom, using about 64 pegs. The great thing about this pattern is that it will adapt to any gauge loom, and any weight yarn. For the worsted weight, I used Crazy Zauberball in Rich Jewels held with a strand of Knit Picks' Pallette in Cream. For the fingering, I used Knit Picks' Chroma Fingering in Guppy.

April Looming Around the Net

So many cute loom-a-longs this month. The loom class group at yahoogroups has a "Dinosaur vs. Bedtime" toy that is simply adorable. The class is taught by Vanessa Soto from 4/9- 4/28. 
Following the dinosaur class, I'll be hosting "Wingspan for Loom Knitters." I hope you will all join me for this very enjoyable pattern.
The Ravelry loom-a-long group has a lovely baby blanket pattern to work on all of April and May, and a very cute bunny and kitty for the rest of April, to go along with the blanket.
Stop by Brenda the Loom Lady's blog, Loom Lore, to see her very cute bunnies and the Leprechaun "mug hug." Brenda has once again added to loomy holiday patterns in a very clever way.
