Creativity "Looming"

I'm not a very creative person. I never have been. I would like to be, but I think that kind of thing must be "in-born". I can, however, follow directions pretty good. (Why I got a GPS maybe ??, previous post).

So, anyway, I have been in a "craftsy" kind of mood lately. I learned to crochet many years ago at the hands of some very patient friends. Turns out I only learned one stitch and got tired of doing scarves and pot holders. So, I decided to try my hand (literally) at knitting. Before you get too impressed, let me assure you that whatever I try, be it gourmet cooking, sewing or any craft work is always very easy. That's because I'm not creative, remember??

So, I saw this loom thing at the store the other day and it guaranteed me that I could make something pretty quickly and effortlessly. See, that's my problem, I want great results but don't want all the hassle that goes with it. So, I bought it - it's called a Knifty Knitter and it actually is just an oblong loom that allows you to weave and make something. The something I made was a scarf. I bought some yarn on sale (okay, I'm a cheap skate); no, actually I didn't want to spend a lot of money on something I may not like. But actually, I really like doing this. It gives me the feeling that I am creating something, not a lot of effort to it and easy enough for even a child to do.

So, I'm going to bravely post my first creation. It was a scarf. Okay, I said I was tired of doing scarves, but I had to do something simple in the beginning. I am on to bigger and better things next time. Maybe a blanket of some sort. We'll see. Anyway, please don't laugh, especially those of you that have been gifted with that inborn creative genius.

I thought that the Knifty Knitter was actually pretty nifty. So, if you see someone walking around with something around their neck that looks like a blue caterpillar, that would be me!!
