This was my third try!! My first two curled terribly<br />I used 1 skein of <a href="http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat2842&amp;PRODID=prd2698">Lion Brand® Chenille Thick &amp; Quick® Yarn</a><br />on my small blue kk loom I used the knit and purl stitch, if you are unsure how to do this on a kk loom check out Isela's Youtube video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pclJ7gUvEAY">HERE</a><br />cast on 16<br />row 1 - knit<br />row 2 - purl<br />row 3 - k<br />row 4 - p<br />row 5 - k<br />row 6- p p p.. knit rest row... p p p<br />row 7 - k entire row<br />repeat 6 &amp; 7 to length<br /><br />the fringe was done by pulling a length through the bottom edge, letting it twist on itself, then taking the remaining length and tying the twisted part into a slipknot. I worked on this forever but love how it turned out.<br />The yarn is really not fun to work with but OH so soft but I don't think it would hold up to any type of washing though<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5732373111503354660-5758155218269683505?l=kniftyknitterlooming.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Daninoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732373111503354660.post-30272770213722543602008-01-09T10:35:00.000-05:002008-12-10T21:19:48.593-05:00OK so this isn't exactly an afghan, it looks more like a scarf but I am just going to call it a car seat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Mervh9m5h9c/R4TrvnVEH-I/AAAAAAAAAN8/0axfgd4sXyA/s1600-h/DSC06336.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Mervh9m5h9c/R4TrvnVEH-I/AAAAAAAAAN8/0axfgd4sXyA/s400/DSC06336.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153503076862402530" border="0" /></a> afghan!
