As I have been too busy putting knitting looms together, I have not had a chance to do anything--not even knit! Ohh, the horror, so instead of sharing a new project, I'll share some old projects that I have made on the knitting looms.
The Jazzy Sock is one of my old time favorites. When I first released it, it caused quite a stir and a lot of loom knitters were making them. It is done on a Fine Gauge sock loom. A sock loom is an old type of knitting frame, the base is round and it has cotter pins/nails where you wrap the yarn, and then you lift the yarn off, thus forming a stitch. It is believed that these type of knitting frames were around a very long time ago, as far back as 1842 from the book, "The Hand-book of Needlework" by Miss Frances Lambert. An old art that is slowly coming back.
Jazzy Sock Pattern can be found here:
Another one of my old time favorites are the mini-sweaters and the mini-socks. These were all created way before I knew how to needle knit. I remember obtaining a set of tiny little knitting needles and I was insistent in making a pair of mini-socks, needless to say, this loomer had a heck of a time trying to knit with the #0000 knitting needles, there 
was more of a chance of me losing an eye than me knitting them.
I was so frustrated of trying to make a pair of mini-socks with the toothpicks that I demanded a little loom from the DAman, of course, I was barking so hard that he didn't waste any time in making it, and that very same afternoon he came home with the cutest little loom.
In no time, I was able to make a bunch of these little things, now they are everywhere around the house.
Patterns for the Tiny socks and Mini-Sweaters are at the DA site. Both of these would make a great way to decorate a small Christmas Tree. Hmm, maybe that is a project I can do in my short free periods of time.
Oh, PS...don't forget the contest...we are soooo close...it could be you :)! Or maybe you! Or maybe me :), LOL.
Did your hubby make the tiny loom? Can you send me info so mine can make me one too?

Hi, Isela! Your jazzy sock pattern is what made me decide to buy a sock loom. I haven't made the pattern yet, but it's on my to-do list. Thanks for the reminder...

Those socks are really really cute! Maybe ask Rita if she'd sell little sets of them as christmas ornaments in her store! I bet they'd do well :) I'll start making mini books for ornaments and selling them on my blog. Isn't it funny how much people love a thing, even if it's completely useless, but if it's tiny, they can't resist it! :) Damn... now I want to make tiny socks. Maybe I'll have to get a tiny loom and the pattern. You'd have to teach me to loom knit though.

I WON!! I WON!!! I WON!!!!
Just screwin' with all your readers Isela! Sometimes I'm so sassy, eh?
Now, about sock looms... If it weren't for your fine gauge sock looms, I'd never have a pair of hand-knit socks. I do have my DPs and one sock started on those, but right now I find it much easier to knit them there socks on a loom! I imagine if I'd wear my glasses, I'd have an easier time with the needles. Hmmm, maybe it's time to go get new lenses.

Hi Isela,
I make sure I read your blog every couple of days to try to keep up with what you're up to. I just love those mini socks and sweaters...I'd actually forgotten about them, but now that you've reminded me, I just have to give them a try. Keep up the good work.
Hugs,
Jane in Australia :)
