...knitting loom action.
Well here is the scarf with the added tassels...
...this was the finishing touch that was needed so this piece is all done and ready for use.
The hat that was underway in the previous post...
...is now completed and I love how the colours have worked. Even if I was to use the same yarn there would never be another exactly like this - one of the reasons I love variegated yarn.
The yarn left after completing the hat is going to be another scarf...
...and here is the loom that I am using. With the circular looms you create a basic "tube" which depending on the size of the loom you are using can be made into a scarf, hat or snood (I have a knitting loom book and there are patterns for knitting socks and lots of other stuff but then I'd have to sit and follow the pattern/instructions - at the moment I'm just having fun). With the circular looms you work your way around the ring for basic knitting but with the rectangle/bar loom you work across the gap...
...as you can see here. This was done at "Knit & Natter" on Tuesday and although I was showing folk how the process worked, I still managed to get a fair bit done.
I enjoy knitting but knitting on the looms is 'fun' - I don't know why it took me nearly a year to finally take them out of their packaging and have a play.......................................................

LOVE the colours in your scarf Toni, you are an amazing knitter...xx{aNNie}
The tassels really do finish your scarf off beautifully Toni and I love the colours in the hat ! xx
Thank you so much Toni for your help and advice, and for popping by my blog to help me. I'll certainly be taking it out of the box and play with it xx
Now if that doesn't make me feel warm and cozy nothing would. so sweet Toni!

You look like you are having the most fun - we enjoy playing with our peg looms!
