Woven Finger-Knitting Hula-Hoop Rug DIY Here we go! I’m so excited to kick off this series of finger-knitting projects. For the first project, B proffered his largest ball of finger-knitting for us all to try weaving a rug! This project is super-fun and easy to do. The rug was made on a hula hoop loom, using an old t-shirt for the warp and a massively huge ball of finger knitting for the weft. My son’s ball started with four-finger finger-knitting(click here for a how-to) and switched mid-ball to single-finger finger-knitting. I have to say that although this project was easy for the kids to work on, I think the size of it was a bit overwhelming. My suggestion is to sit down and do a little bit of finger knitting, finish it off, ball it up and add it to a basket. I’ve been going nutty with finger-knitting. Here is the DIY for the hula hoop rug: Materials: A large ball of finger-knitting (or, this can be done in stages as you complete littler strands of finger-knitting) An old t-shirt (I used a women’s large) Scissors Voila!
Finger Knitting How-to You know how I just wrote about how I like getting a handmade gift more than just about anything. Well, this is anything. Sitting on the couch on a lazy Sunday, knitting with my kids . . . that beats gift-getting for sure. The two kiddos are finger-knitting, which I’ve written about before and again, but it continues to be a favorite activity. You end up with a long coil of knitting like this, that curls itself into a sort of tube. My son is using a finer and less expensive yarn, here. They really do enjoy the process. Some day, I’ll make a coiled rug from the pieces. **UPDATE: So many people have asked me for a PDF of the below how-to so they can take the directions on the road for their kiddos. Materials: Any yarn An eager kiddo Time: However long you want! I think that super-bulky yarn is a good weight to start with. Start by placing the yarn in between your thumb and hand, such that the tail hangs behind your hand. Next, bring the yarn around your index finger. This is how the back looks.
platypus hippo Alligator vs Crocodile Differences in Physical characteristics Snout Alligators have a wide "U"-shaped, rounded snout (like a shovel), whereas crocodiles tend to have longer and more pointed "V"-shaped noses. Jaw An alligator (left) with a rounded U-shaped snout and a crocodile (right) with a V-shaped snout In alligators, the upper jaw is wider than the lower jaw and completely overlaps it. However, in crocodiles, the upper jaw and lower jaw are approximately the same width, and so teeth in the lower jaw fit along the margin of the upper jaw when the mouth is closed. Hind legs Crocodiles have a jagged fringe on their hind legs and feet; alligators do not. Size The American alligator is the larger of the two species of alligator and typically ranges from 6-12 ft but can grow up to 19 ft. Crocodiles are the largest and heaviest of present-day reptiles. Differences in behavior Differences in behavior are also apparent. Habitat More Pictures Alligators Crocodile Conservation Taxonomy References
Fun Facts About Crocodiles Resembling a prehistoric lizard, crocodiles are strong hunters found in the tropical habitats of Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. These reptiles live in rivers, lakes, wetlands and even some saltwater regions. Crocodiles belong to the larger order Crocodilian that includes alligators, caimans and gharials. There are about 14 species of true crocodiles ranging from the smaller dwarf crocodile to the saltwater crocodile. American crocodiles typically can grow up to 15 ft (4.6 m) long and weigh up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg). A 15.8 foot long (4.8 meters) male estuarine crocodile is ready for release with its satellite transmitter to track its long-distance travel. Other facts about crocodiles Crocodiles ambush their prey either in the water or on land. Crocodiles use their teeth and jaws to crush prey. They exert enormous pressure when grasping prey between their jaws but have very little strength to open them up. Crocodiles swallow stones that help grind food inside their stomach.
