One skein of Noro. Five Coasters.
Pfeify's birthday present. Good thing he loves me cuz I'm sure he's sick of getting weird knitted crap from me.
Free pattern from Knitting at KNoon Designs - Felted Coasters, Hot Pads, and Beverage Jackets available at http://www.knittingatknoon.com/coasterspatt.html.
Took the ABC pattern from Kris Knits School Cloths and modified it to say Joe - a thank you gift along with some Double Bumps, Captain Super Bump & Chef Double Bump.
The J on my Joe chart is actually backwards - had to switch it around when I knitted it.
Kris Knits has some pretty darn cool cloth patterns at her site at krisknits.com - go check em out!
Gifts for the awesome LVAD team that didn’t kill my hubby when they made him Iron Man. You know they are gonna look at me weird when I give them. People don’t understand the insane, I mean knitters.
Threw in a Ballband (free pattern here) for good measure - thanks Mason Dixon ladies!
Cast on 40 stitches on size 8 needles for my double bumps. Double bump pattern available here.
I'm addicted, once again to the Double Bump Dishcloth. Two years ago I vowed to stop after a bender that led to over 100 dishcloths and showered many friends with unsolicited gifts of handmade wash tools for their kitchens and baths (shameless Ravelry project page here).
Recent stressors have led me back down the dark path where the 100% absorbent cotton monkey was waiting, and he has landed straight on my back.
Prepare yourselves, oh friends and supporters of Strokey McTransplant. The Crazed Mrs. McTransplant has found a way to thank you, and it is in the form of many, I am sure unneeded, handknit cotton clothes.
It's the little things.
Free Double bump pattern available at this link.
Pattern from the Valentine's Day Cloths at Kris Knits .
Free Feather & Fan dishcloth pattern at http://www.groupepp.com/dishbout/kpatterns/feather.html.
Long story short - my poor hubby Mike caught a virus, had a heart attack and a stroke, and now he needs a heart transplant. In the middle of that he needs an LVAD mechanical heart to keep things flowing till a heart is available.
LVAD was installed yesterday, February 9, 2010.
We are telling our story here and there via photos and knitted items, along with a pretty dark sense of humor.
When your life is turned upside down, it's the little things that keep you going :)
My hubby needs a heart transplant. I’m going to be highly annoyed if this isn’t a match.
Heart pattern from knitty.com available at this link. Wool Ease yarn on size 7 needles.
There is a big storm coming our way, but it seems so calm outside. I knitted up another Felted Heart Milagro from the awesome Gifted: Lovely Little Things to Knit and Crochet and turned this one into a fun, dangling car charm for my hubby's home care nurse Tina.
I kinda suck at the felting part, but hey - it's cute.
