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.

Well done. Hope your finger recovers and does not hurt too much! Right hand as well .

Ahhh, mirror pic so luckily it's left hand...still, no driving for 6-8 weeks $:-\$

So much for learning to knit!

I think you deserve double marks for making it with one hand out of action

plus a bit extra for lateral thinking

It looks nice and sturdy and very effective.

And extra marks for typing it all on here with one hand!

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??

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!

) 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

What could be woven into a dog-mud-sucking doormat do you think?
