My niece goes to college in Utah where it snows! Here in sunny California we don't see snow except on the tops of the mountains (that's only on a clear sunny day in the winter - no fog or smog.) These are a couple of hats I "knitted" for her on the round green loom.

Then...I got to experimenting after seeing a couple of pictures online of bags made with bags. Using the plastic grocery bags, of which I have a zillion million, I cut them into strips with my rotary blade, used them like yarn and made reusable grocery bags. I have used both the yellow round loom and the yellow rectangle loom, which makes a tighter weave but is more difficult to use. The round loom has slightly larger pegs and since it is easier to manipulate I can work more quickly. The handle is made from thick cording that I wove through the holes in the plastic around the top of the bag for more strength. They can be made in any size, but I added rows until I thought it looked about the right size. The bottom has to be closed up with yarn or twine sewn in and out of the holes between the plastic stitches. Make sure to go back and forth along the bottom (inside out when you sew) to ensure a strong bag. Not only are we recycling our plastic bags, but I want a grocery bag that the glass bottles don't fall out of the bottom. I love my marichino cherries in my mouth, not in the driveway covered in slivered glass shards!
With the small blue loom I whipped up these precious little newborn hats. On prefolded purchased cotton diapers I added a little bit of ribbon on a couple and cute pieces of flannel on the other to make baby burp cloths. Instead of adding fancy ribbon down each side of the flannel (which looks adorable, but adds to the cost and is a little rougher on tender skin) I use a fancy stitch on my sewing machine. With a bright contrasting thread and a bold embroidery type stitch the burp cloth is still quite cute without contrasting ribbon. However, I'm very tempted to try a few with wide ric-rac. I think that would be cute! The white polka-dot silky smooth baby ribbon is softer on the baby's skin than the grosgrain, but the grosgrain is trendy! (There are three words in that paragraph that are easy to recognize, but don't seem quite right when spelling and pronouncing: ric rac, polka dot and grosgrain.)
