Thanks @Kim Thompson-Pinder wouldn’t have been able to complete these projects without following your classroom instructions. I was lost at step 5 in the instruction book. 🥴

... might need to be a motor for cranking the machine! My arm aches! lol With my Mandala yarn I was gifted, (and I found 2 more of the same at Walmart today) I decided to make a poncho, and I've cranked out 1 tube so far and I'm working on the second tube. It will be lighter with this yarn, and not heavy. I considered a shawl, and I almost did decide on that, but I won't wear a shawl. But I would definitely wear a poncho! lol

Yesterday, I felt inspired. Found instructions for an adorable stuffed toy. I grabbed a skein of "I Love This Yarn" and started cranking out the body. Stitches "slipped" so I frogged it and started again. Same thing happened! Frogged it (again) and restarted for a third time. Any guesses what happened? Yup! Frog! I'm not so much loving this yarn anymore! I FINALLY got something passable and will try to share photos when I get the rest of the pieces made and stitched together. In the meantime, I have questions: 1. What is the difference between a dropped stitch and a tucked stitch? 2. Is there an easy way to correct each issue? I've been watching videos and instructions but I must be thick in the head! 3. Sometimes, the loop doesn't stay around the two little up-pointing teeth. If I see that immediately, I pull the loop back on with a loom pick. 4. Other times, there will be two loops around those little teeth...and I'm not sure which loop to try to release. Any guidance from the pros out there?

These were the first 2 I made of this kind of hat. I think they are so cute and would look so adorable on kids.
