A new Loom

Hi everyone!

So, I got a new loom for Christmas. An off-brand of the Infinity Rake, the loom has 236 pegs and is big enough to create a single sided KING size afghan. Seeing as we have a king size bed, I'm going to make an afghan for us!

As an added incentive, I will be writing a review for a loom knitting magazine covering this specific loom that I got for Christmas. So I'm pretty stoked about that. We've figured out what yarn (Light and Lofty) I will be using for the afghan. I'm not certain if I will be using a pre-done pattern or making one up but either way I'm looking forward to the challenge AND testing out this loom.

Merry Christmas!

Growing and Going

So... when I last posted less than a month ago, we had nearly 35 members in S-M-A-C-K! It's grown to over 50 now. So while it's not maintained the initial rate of growth, it is still growing and as of yet, I've not added another moderator.

In project news:

I've finished the first panel of Rebekah's Pleasing Ponchette and posted photos in Flckr / Ravelry. One more identical panel to make and then I can seam the two panels together. Rebekah seems to be liking how it's coming out thus far. So that's good. I'm hoping that maybe I can finish this by Christmas but we'll see. Today is 12/01.. so that doesn't give me a ton of time to work on it.
