To the Loom: Ocean Inspired Blanket

Ocean Inspired Blanket

Starting the ProjectRecently I received the Martha Stewart Loom Kit to review. At the time I was not sure what I wanted to create but then inspiration struck – I would loom a blanket! I decided that it would be ocean and wave inspired since I live close to the coast.

I headed over to my local Walmart and looked at all the available yarn colors and as I was standing there I saw a pretty blue/turquoise variegated yarn. From there I chose colors within that same family as well as 1 contrasting color.

Here is my supply list: Martha Stewart Loom Kit, Red Heart Super Saver Accent in Pool, Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Delft Blue, Turqua, Macaw, Royal and Grey Heather.

MLooming Step oney plan is to use 2 colors of yard, using the square-shaped frame, with each side containing 24 pegs (total of 96 pegs around), and looming the two together.

I can already see it will be important to make sure my yarn does not get twisted and remains as flat as possible. Also, I know from my practice runs that as it gets closer to the end of the second yarn, the tighter the weave becomes.

So with those things in mind my goal is to make this blanket large enough that both Jason and I can use it while movie watching or use it as a blanket on chilly nights.

Coloring Ocean Mandalas: 30 Hand-Drawn Designs for Mindful Relaxation Review and Giveaway

Coloring Ocean MandalasI am a lucky gal, I live a mere stones throw from the ocean as the crow flies. When you really do the journey it is down a one hill and basically up one right next door and about 200 steps at the top to the right and boom: the ocean!

On windy days the ocean breeze becomes clear and I can smell is as if I was actually at the ocean. The ocean makes appearances throughout our life from the name of our network to the name of our cars – the ocean’s presence in our life is clear.

I have seen many coloring books but few related specifically to mandalas and the ocean, until I heard about a new coloring book called Coloring Ocean Mandalas: 30 Hand-Drawn Designs for Mindful Relaxation by Wendy Piersall.
