Weaving + knitting

This is Skipp. He is very crafty. Project number 1: hand-woven (on Skipp's very own table loom, see below) scarf made from one skein of gorgeous lavender Giselle yarn from Classic Elite.

Here is his table loom in action! (Don't get me started on his beautiful woven landscapes...)

Project number 2: cute hat called Lidsville from the Son of Stitch n' Bitch book (we have it here at JP Knit & Stitch).

Skipp is working on attaching the brim to the hat. We can't wait to see him sporting it soon!
