The Yarn : 2 Skeins of Red Heart Soft
I used Red Heart Soft for the first time in December 2013. I had not tried it before because I thought it couldn’t be that “Soft”. I saw the reasonable price of the yarn as an indicator that I wasn’t going to get something I would be happy with, until got my hands on the yarn. I needed yarn for this contest and a hat pattrn Amazon Primeincluded the Red Heart Soft in my Free 2-Day shipping so I went for it. Now that it’s here and I got it up close in my hands it’s going to be really hard to let it go. It is SUPER SOFT and the jewel tones are rich.

GlossyBox: My February Beauty Box
GLOSSYBOX is a monthly beauty box subscription. This is my new obsession because it’s like a surprise gift box with 5 (every now and then more) luxury products that are delivered right to your front door once a month without fail. Sometimes it includes brands that you are familiar with and sometimes you get treated with a brand that later becomes a favorite.
I will be giving up my treasures for the month of February to introduce you to this very cool service. Please note that I don’t know what the box will include. If you are interested in the content visit the website for the details. They will show the products once they close the January box campaign.

I have had a lot fun with it and I think One of you will get a Big Time kick out of getting this gift.
Wonderful site. A lot of techniques listed here. Now i’m transmitting the item to a few good friends ans likewise sharing throughout yummy. And of course, thanks on the energy!
Received my February Win package!! Wonderful! The red yarn is truly an amazing color of red and so soft! I will be looking for a pattern that will be perfect for this yarn color. I love Red Heart! It is exciting to think about using this yarn. I’ve been away from all my looming, needlework and crafts for the past few years due to family matters and everyday happingings. I’ve really missed my hobbies.. As soon as I finish all related to moving my mom in with us and taking care of her house, my looms will be smoking with non-stop projects, LOL! Can’t wait!
The Gloss Box that was included had excellent products included. And I know what Denise gave up to include it in the winning package.
Thank you so much Denise!! I love your blog and thank you for the opportunity to win this yarn! New yarn makes me do happy dances And what a better way to get back onto the looming world than to start here? You do so many wonderfully nice things. Keep up your good works.
New follower an fan here!

I am new to your website. I found you via youtube. I’ve been enjoying your videos and love the way you explain everything so clearly. Your voice sounds familiar. Did you have another channel on Youtube that taught some looming? I am new to looming, but you make things simple. Thanks!
Hi DaFox, yes I started on another channel – but wanted to focus on this one subject so I started the LoomaHat YouTube Channel. So glad I could be of help to you. Stay with me there’s a lot more learning out there for me and you. 🙂
Thanks! Glad to know. My first project I made was doing it step by step with you! Really appreciated how you did it as it helped me to understand it so clearly. I am interested in how you made the basket-weave looking hat you show on the knit and pearl demo. Is there a written pattern somewhere or did you just alternate a set number of knit and pearl on each row? I would love to make something like that for my nephew. Thanks!
Hi DaFox, here is a link to a hat pattern using the Basketweave stitch. I would say that to make it more of a male version – make the brim a short garter stitch like maybe no more then 4 rows and use the u-wrap knit stitch. Good idea to read the comments some folks will ask some of the questions you might think of.
Also the garter stitch is 1 row of knit and 1 row of purl.
Hope that helps.
denise
Thanks so much. I don’t know how I missed that. I even went looking! I appreciate you linking me there. I will be sure to give that a try. I am almost finished with the little purse. I decided to experiment with some stitches and I wrote down what I did. I would change a few things now, but I still think it turned out cute. It also gave me another idea for a project, so you’ve quite inspired me! I would be happy to send you a picture when it’s finished, but I’m not quite sure how to do that on here. I can always send it via email if you like. Thanks again. I’m really enjoying your site! -Fox
Yes would love for you to email me pictures. Let me know if I can post them here. It’s great to share. Here is my email denise@loomahat.com
I will be happy to email you some pictures when I complete it and you are welcome to post them if you’d like.
Thank you so much for all your tutorials and blogs. Because of kind people like yourself I’m able to provide gifts to my loved ones ❤️ Your generosity is definitely paid forward with all I loom now ☺️Thank you!
Hi Lori – Thanks for the Thanks ! 🙂 I love hearing from folks. Just makes my day and then some.
denise
I love this site. I am new to knitting, crocheting and looming. I have found that it is rather hard to find sites that explain things in a way that a beginner like me can understand. You do a wonderful job! Thank you for all your hard work!
Thank YOU Shawna for your kind words. I GREATLY appreciate them.
denise
I have knitted/crocheted for years but I’m new to looming so glad to find your site. Thank you for the free patterns and information! I bought a loom and wanted to try it to make items for Special Olympics with it like the headbands, hats and scarves I’ve been making.
Would love to find out more information about knitting for the Special Olympics. Going to do some research – any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
You can find out more about the Special Olympics Scarf Program on Facebook by going to page: Knit and Crochet for a Cause.
Thank you Diana !
I seen where you posted about the Knit/ Crochet for a cause for the SO. I love the idea and LIKED them on FB. I am a little slow to make scarves, but hope to get faster and maybe donate in the future. Anyway, this made me think.. I wonder if they have a page for donating hats for cancer. That is how I found this.. https://www.facebook.com/HatsOffForCancerOrg or http://hatsoffforcancer.org/. You can donate hats or all styles, genders, colors and sizes to children with cancer. I thought that was a super neat idea. I can loom a hat in only a night or two, so I am seriously thinking about make SEVERAL and donating them. I thought I would share for anyone else who might be interested. 🙂
Hi Shawna,
You might also check your local cancer treatment clinics. I know that when my Mom and Grandpa were going through chemo, they had some knitted hats people made to give out. Even in summer, during chemo, it can be quite cold to cancer patients and if you’ve lost your hair, the hats sure help. So you might want to just call your local oncology center and see if they take hat donations. You might even be able to bring them and hand them out yourself. You’d be surprised at how little things like this can cheer up people going through cancer treatments. I am sure they would really appreciate any help you can give!
Hiii!!! I loveeee your site and your giveaways. Too bad its only open to residents in the US and Canada :((( I live here in the Philippines. Im 14 years old and just started knitting 2 days ago. Right now im working on a blue scarf 🙂 Just wanted to let you know hehe kinda knew here……..
Once the site gets bigger – I will ship world-wide. This adventure just started a year ago – It’s a baby website. So stick with me we’ll get there soon.

So glad I found Loom a hat. I love my knitting looms. Thanks for the giveaway

I’m having a bad RA flare today, my joints really hurt. Crocheting keeps my fingers from stiffening.

I LOVE red heart yarn!
Thank you Michelle, Red is BEAUTIFUL! – At least that’s what Taylor Swift says and I always believe everything Tata Swift says because my daughter told me to. 🙂
I’m thinking that I want to get rid of all the yarn I have that I probably won’t use and start to be a little more choosy when I start to knit or crochet something.
Instead of giving away the yarn – knit some hats and check out the Charity Page for some places that need them. 🙂
Pure awesomeness!!!
Thanks for doing another yarn giveaway!!!
I have a great time with this. :).
I have been blogging about your giveaways! If you ever want to have a co-sponser and get a bigger prize out I would love to work with you!
In one word YES! So funny that I was planning on having your book included in my give-away for next month. The English here and the Spanish translation on my Spanish site ComoTelar.com And as long as I have your attention – would love for you to consider being one of my judges for my Loving with Looms award in October 2014. I’m needing 5 judges so any suggestions would be great.
Just started looming and now 2 leg warmers and 3 hats later I am addicted!
Not to worry Lindsey, it’s a very practical and useful addiction. 🙂 … oh and yea FUN..
Loom Happy!

The snow & ice storm we’re supposed to have tonight is on my mind. Winter has been brutal this year.
So I will refrain from telling you the weather here in South Florida. 🙂
Dinner is on my mind, and then more crochet after!
Food – knit, food – knit , knit – knit -sleep. My dream day.
Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!
You’re welcome.. remember that you can come back everyday
i’m stressing out a bit because i have so many projects lined up, and not enough time to do them all! and i still want more yarn!! LOL
I hear you Jules, Ditto !
Hi, I just started loom knitting very recently and your videos on youtube helped me so much! I can’t wait to keep doing this and get better at it. I hope I win your giveaway 🙂
Have a good weekend!
You WILL get better – it’s an almost guarantee with loom knitting… wish I could give a giveaway to everyone who stopped by. 🙂
Love the contest!
I just started knitting so this would be a cool win!
I Really Love the color of the red yarn.
I have the perfect idea for it.
Please sign me up.
Hi Clarissa, the system is not set up in a way that I can sign you up. You would have to do that yourself. It’s that way so that no one will accuse me of giving the prize to my friend or family.
Hope you understand,
denise
New loon knitter and loving it!
Love your Youtube videos!
Thank YOU Brooke!
I started loom knitting about 3 weeks ago. I have made 5 hats, 2 scarves, and an afghan panel in the wrong stitch pattern, but I am so truly enjoying this craft that I don’t care about the afghan panel. I’ll try again soon.
Hi again Jenni, so nice to see you. Hope you’re done with all the moving and stuff. That can such a bummer. I have to think yes since you have finished 5 hats, 2 scarves and a unique afghan (I call it that because there is no such thing as a wrong stitch pattern).
denise
Love the red!!
Thank you ! – Trying to stick with the Valentines theme.
I taught myself to loom a hat using your instructions. Made it easier follow than the instructions that came with the loom 🙂
(I also need to finish a hat)
Glad to hear I could help.
Love the name – I think it’s beautiful.
