Hmm, first attempt vanished ???
Anyhow, after a failed attempt to remove my finger, I was wrapped up in a heavy plaster cast. The tied-scarf improvisation was annoying, so I made a loop on the pegloom.
Once the "scarf" was done, I snipped it from the pegs, then untied the knots at the other end, then retied each strand to itself (make sense?).
What I should have done is put in half a twist to make a Mobius strip, to go around the neck.

Argh attachments!

Last two!

Well done. Hope your finger recovers and does not hurt too much! Right hand as well . :notwell:
-
Ahhh, mirror pic so luckily it's left hand...still, no driving for 6-8 weeks :-\
So much for learning to knit! :dunce:

I think you deserve double marks for making it with one hand out of action :) plus a bit extra for lateral thinking ;D It looks nice and sturdy and very effective.

And extra marks for typing it all on here with one hand! ;D ;D ;D :love:
-
Hehe thank you, though I can just about use my thumb and ring finger ::)
So one week into a 6-8 or even 12 week recovery....already bored.....what else can be pegloomed?? ;D

animal beds? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I think I have seen ideas for peglooming old plastic bags into doormats and old fabric into bath mats.I do believe you can also pegloom raw fleeces. I looked at them once and saw loads of ideas on utube, I still want one !
-
I've pegloomed a raw fleece rug (well, ended up more a thick mat! ;D ) but the tufts come out fairly easily, so I think it needs more of a "spun" texture than the lumps I have... I have 6 or 7 more pillowcases to work through, but daren't think of the lanolin sting if it got near my stitches :o :'(
What could be woven into a dog-mud-sucking doormat do you think?

Old towelling such as old t- towels and bath towels from charity shops?
