Another Lucy Moment . . . in the knitting world

I started loom knitting a couple months ago. Making scarves. I was working on my second scarf (which I took apart) and my son said he really wanted an afghan. Every time we talked on the phone, he would ask about me knitting one for him. Hey, kid, I don't even know what I am doing with scarves. But I told him I would try.

I surfed the web. What was the best way to make an Afghan with looms? I finally decided on the method of my madness. I went to the website and clicked on buy.

The box came the other day. I have waited over a month for it to arrive. And the postman (lady) actually brought it to my door. I never know if they will bring it to my house or leave a note in my mailbox in the group mailbox a block away. I love getting packages. I should order more but the shipping is always so expensive. And customs, fees, etc. Back to the box . . . it was a nice long box. Ooooohhh, goodieeee.

This is my next little tool for knitting. Ok, fine, not so little. This is a Infinity knitting loom. You can knit up to 50 inches wide at the same time. I did some research and decided it was worth the time and $$ to get. Well, maybe not, but I wanted it. :)

This is the very beginning of #1 son's afghan. It is a multicolor cotton yarn. No stretch with the yarn, but I like the way it drapes when knitted.

This is a day and a half of knitting. Let's just say its gonna be a long project.

Once I started knitting, I thought "Hey, how about a stripe in there?" Off I went and bought some light cream yarn. I have more than enough of the multi color yarn as I had to special order it last month but for some strange reason, I wanted a few stripes. Not sure where I will put the random stripes (guess that's why it's called random). MOST people would plan this stuff before they started. Not me. Whatever happens, happens. Hopefully, it will look ok for the kid.
