Knitting finally clicked! As they say, third time's a charm. Several things made a difference this time. Larger, non-slippery (bamboo) needles and thicker yarn. Deciding to relax and have fun with it. (Vs my previous grim determination that literally strained my neck and shoulder muscles. 😐) Patiently watching a multitude of knitting videos, trying various ways to hold and tension the yarn and form the stitches. The most helpful advice took a "knitting for crocheters" approach. After a lot of experimentation, I've found it's best for me to hold the yarn exactly as for crochet, and not to bob my index finger up and down for the purl stitch. Instead I can rock my hands back and forth for yarn overs and pull throughs, just like you do when crocheting. Feels much more natural and relaxed. Super happy with this red, seed stitch swatch. In a few more rows it'll be a finished block for the Warm Up America project.

I do make all sorts of adorable things for the Blythes, but anyone following my personal/artist account @kylelefortcreative knows that a lot of my loom knitting work actually goes to charity and craftivism initiatives in the U.S. and around the world. - If you also knit/crotchet things for Blythes and would like to put some of your work towards the greater good, by all means check out my other account - My posts have all sorts of info and links for you, year round. 😊 That said today is #worldprematurityday Which means that it's time to make preemie sized hats for #tinyhatsfortinybabies Coincidentally, a Blythe's giant noggin is almost the exact same size as a typical preemie baby, and the simplest beanie that size can provide life saving warmth to a newborn in need. When I first learned this, I was floored by how much I could help and made a huge pile of hats last year. This year I am much busier with work, so my little elves here have jumped in to help (oh, I wish). ~ For more info on how you too can help save the life of a tiny baby, please visit; tinyhatsfortinybabies.org #tinyhatsfortinybabies2019 #bykylelefort #blythehats #preemiebabyhats #cuteblythehats #loomknitting #knittedhats #knitting #charityknits #charityknitting #rollbrimhats #yarn #warmupamerica #tinyhatsfortinybabies #craftivism #haveyouhelpedsomeonetoday #peaceandlove #WUA #blythe #helperelves #blythedoll #blythefamily #SelinatheBlythe #StartheBlythe #TalulatheBlythe #RebeltheBlythe #MaggietheMiddieBlythe #HelgatheLPSBlythe #MipsytheLPSBlythe https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-iS6EJghe/?igshid=1sthnqm5rapzn

With my odd balls of yarn, I am knitting squares for Warm Up America. They will be sewn together into blankets and given to people in need. #knitting #warmupamerica

Something else I added to the box I sent in to Warm Up America; 7 blanket sections! 😀 They're going to mix them with other donated 7x9" sections to make a "Box of 500", which is then sent off by request to other volunteers who want to assemble blankets for people in need all across the U.S. - There is usually a waiting list of people requesting to be part of the "Box of 500" program, so if you would like to help WUA stock up on blanket sections, please visit warmupamerica.org for more info. This is a great way to practice stitches and an excuse to use up that leftover yarn from your last project, so if you knit of crochet, I encourage you to join in. :) #WarmUpAmerica #blanketsections #loomknitting #knitting #charityknitting #craftivism #byKyleLefort #madewithlove #WUA https://www.instagram.com/p/B6qiRepB7Zm/?igshid=dk9q8wth7whl
