Tiger Iron Jasper and Copper Pendant

This pendant has beautiful browns and rust colors striped throughout the jasper and catches the light in different ways giving off different shades of colors. It is wrapped with copper and comes on an adjustable cord/ribbon necklace. The pendant measures close to 3 inches.

Homespun afghan

Got some yarn sale yarn from my friend Teresa and think that most of it was Lion Brand Homespun. I decided to make a giant granny square afghan and I think it turned out great!

Tiger eye scarf

I was in Washington DC over the weekend for the national book festival. I ventured out to find Stitch DC, which is a great little yarn and knitting shop, to work on a scarf project. While I’m sitting there I hear someone say my name so I look up and there is Janet! We figured out that we had not seen each other in 24 years. How crazy to just happen to run into one another!!! We had a great time catching up while she was taking a knitting class :)

This scarf’s name is inspired by Janet’s comment that it was the color of tiger eye. I used a great Italian tweed yard and used a half double crochet stitch through the back loop.

Funky Chunky Browns Scarf

I decided to use some left over brown chunky yarn I had left over from another project and I also had two skeins of Wool of the Andes Bulky hand-dyed “field mouse” yarn so I decided to make this HUGE scarf!  I set my knitting board to 1.25 inches and used a simple stockinette stitch.  Here’s the result!

A Scarf Fit for a Fisherman, or Someone…

Here is a really neat scarf I made (and have mailed out to someone for a Christmas gift) from Lion Brand Fishermen’s brown and white wool yarn.  Since I used my knitting board, the scarf comes out double knit so the front and back look exactly the same.  It’s going to keep someone warm this winter! :-)

Welcome to No Needle Knitting!

After visiting lots and lots of loom and board knitting sites I finally decided to just start my own site about my new fun hobby. I’ve never tried to knit with needles so I figured this would be a good title: No Needle Knitting. I plan to add photos of my knitting projects here with basic comments about each one. Please feel free to comment or ask questions!

Here is a recent project I finished yesterday morning. It is a super bulky hat made of brown Lion Brand wool (Wool-Ease Thick & Quick). The brim is 10 lines total and above the brim is 28 lines. I used the adult hat size Darice loom I bought from amazon.com. I think it will make a nice Christmas gift!  The other little hat behind the unfinished one was a mistake.  I guess I could add some ear flaps to it and give it to some kid, but nah…
