Pomp-a-Doodle
and Loop-it
together
make the best
bathmat!
Loop-it and
Pomp-a-Doodle
make an
interesting duo!
I started out this feature with
Loop-it yarn and put it through
some paces: the finger knitting
for which it was designed, adding
knitting needles to help organize
the loops and teach basic knitting
principles and even using it
full-on with broomstick needles.
Then, I introduced you to Pompa-Doodle,
an evenly-spaced
pompom yarn that has numerous
craft applications.
Both Loop-it and Pomp-a-
Doodle are made of 100%
polyester, which makes them
great for projects that will be
washed often.
Previously, I combined the two
yarns in a swatch with a view
to making a bath mat. As I was
finishing the mat (I chose to hem
the ends), I discovered that this
would be a fabulous lap rug for
anyone in a wheelchair because
the combination is warm! I used
the rug for a lap robe one night
while I watched television!
That same night I came up
with a neat idea for a little girl’s
bedroom. A bed scarf, like the
ones they have in stylish hotels,
but with pompoms, and a
fluffy background that can be
snuggled up around a chilly child
at night. How girly!

special instruction – Slide
At times, the next yarn needed
will be at the ‘wrong end’ of
the knitting. When instructed
to ‘slide,’ slide the knitting to
the opposite end of the circular
needle so work can continue with
the correct yarn for the next row.
Do not turn the work at the end
of a slide instruction.
