How To Knit Using a Round Loom

Loom knitting is fun and easy.  All sorts of things can be created using looms, including hats, sweaters, doll clothes, and stuffed animals.  I made this How To video to show beginners how to use these looms.  Different sized looms make different sized tubes.  Many of the knit stuffed animals found in CreativeCritters were made using various sized knitting looms.

When I first got my looms I had a hard time finding a good tutorial on exactly how to use them, which is why I made this video.  I hope it can help others learn this fun variation on knitting!

Video Tutorial on How To Sculpt Roses in Polymer Clay

This three part video series will show you how to sculpt detailed realistic roses from polymer clay.  You can subscribe to CreativeCritters on YouTube to keep up with all my latest tutorials.

And when I finished these roses I created this pretty necklace and earring set.  I had Mother's Day in mind when I started sculpting these roses.  I knew I wanted to create pretty and feminine jewelry, and I really love the pastel pink mixed with the white beads.
 
Of course you can do anything you like with your roses, and if you want them to have stems just use floral wire instead of the toothpick.  Bend a small loop at the end of the wire, coat it with Tacky glue, and form the rose bud around that.  Happy crafting! =)
