Blog 5: My handmade sock loom and slippers :)

My cute comfy slippers

I am back again with my cute comfy slippers and Here is the story of them…

I was looking for a small loom for a while 

I made online searches, watched videos to learn their brand etc… how many pegs they have, what size they are …

And couldn’t fine one for the sock sizeso decided to make my own one.

 

My brother in law and I, with my new rotary tool cut the wood piece and hammered 20 nails

Radius between nails is 10.5 cm (my foot is thin and long) 

If you have wide foot you may need to increase the radius just little bit and add 1 or 2 more nails

Secure the nails it with strong glue

This is how I made them..

LOOM KNITTING

You need to know the basics in loom knitting and then it is fairly easy. 

Make 3 rows of knitting then leave a split (CW and CCW knitting) up to the desired length

Then continue to knit to your foot length

Then knot the front part and sow the back heel part.

I used t-shirt stretchy yarn

When I make new ones I will add them here. With thick and fluffy ones it can be easier and prettier

Ask me if you have any questions

Pearl Choker

Pearl flowers are combined to create this a lovely innocent attractive looking choker.

I purposely created this one with a white dress in mind. Of course white can go with anything but with white it has that innocent bridal quality.

 I spent 2 days working on it was very happy with the result. Alternate tiny "decreasing" white peals with sliver cubic peal seed beads, all encasing 6 larger flower shaped peals. Each flower has a soft tear drop hanging elegant and inter-joined by another.  Really a nice effect!!

 It feels soft and elegant, yet also innocent and sexy.

 I can make others should anyone want one. Just email me for details.
