Things just don't always go as planned.
Maybe I had a brain fart instead.
I was doing this on the small sized round loom and basically what was coming out was a sleeve, as it were. So I'm looking at the protrusion of skillfully crafted yarn that looks like a giant sleeve sticking out of the bottom of my loom. I'm at the end of the yarn up top and I'm thinking if I could somehow connect the two ends that I wouldn't have to 'sew' them together later to make a big doughnut to stick over my head when I'm cold. You see what I mean?
So I carefully pull the sleeve back up thru the middle of the loom and sort all the ends back over the stobs. Then I take the back set of yarn loops (from the very end of the project) and pull them over top of the ones I'd just put on there (from the beginning of my project).
Wallah! I have connected both ends together. And I did it all without leaving the loom attached in the middle (Murphy's Law says that could've easily happened)!
But HELLO, WAIT A MINUTE, HOLD THE PHONE... EGADS! What the hell have I done?!
OOOH CRAPPPPPPPP!
In essence I created an old-timey muffler like Momma use to make me use in cold weather. Lord have mercy!! It looked like a stunted double-sided, double-thick tube worm! OMG. I can't win.
Now, I'm looking at it thinking, do I want to undo everything I just worked so hard to do or not? When I put my hands inside it is fabulously warm, all soft and cozy. It would make the perfect travel companion for when the car heat hasn't come up to speed on a cold morning.
WHAT AM I THINKING... No no no no no. Fix it! Take it out! So I did. I pulled it off the loom and fixed both ends.
So now I have a very very short 22½ x 4½ inch scarf that would be perfect for a child (but what child to you know uses a scarf?) or I potentially have a really nice and warm head band... I don't know which. And you know, before it's all over I may just think of something else to do with it.
