loom along in the future

Ok so I haven't been looming a lot but I am working on a project to share with everyone.
I will let you know what it is when I finish. I think it will be a fun project.

Camera

I need a new camera. Not because I want to take pictures or video s of the normal things in my life, but what I can only show in a video.
  I have al
ways loved animals. I raised everything from dogs and cats to baby squirrels.
Well for some unknown reason, animals Do not act normal around me.  It is more like I am one of them. Sounds crazy I know but it is true.
 I raise standard bronze turkeys. Not anything strange there, but it is how one hen reacts when I go check on her. She runs up to me and lays on the ground like she would for a Tom when she was ready to breed. And yes she is with a very handsome Tom. I have posted pictures of him.
  Getting to the point, I need to make a video to show that I am not crazy. Or maybe I am. That's not even the craziest animal interaction that I have with animals. There is a pair of whistling ducks that come to visit.  This morning they were in a tree in my front yard. When I went outside they flew down and walked with me to the turkeys.
  Now you know why I need a new camera since my old one leaves lines in the video.

Who Is Wrong Who Is Right

 I get so tired of craft people thinking that if a pattern comes out that you have to follow it to the letter.  I have news for you.  You are your own person you can make your project however you want.
 I have read post on some sites where someone put their own spin on a loom knit pattern and they were blasted by other loomers.  Grow up people.
 When I knit or crochet or loom knit I make it my own. I change things in the patterns that I don't like and make it the way I want.
 Enough of me on my soap box.  I have been quiet lately mostly because I have been busy with all thing spring and a grandson that I can't seem to say no to.
 I am working on a ten stitch blanket loom knit.  I am also knitting a pair of socks and I have an afghan that I am knitting.  I haven't gotten pictures up but I will soon.  I am also going to work up a pattern for the all-in-one loom.  I am hoping to do a knit along.  I will post that as soon as I get my pattern finished.
