Re-Gifted

Laura from my knitting group gave me this gorgeous skein of Kraemer Sterling Silver & Silk yarn that I had been drooling over. I think it was actually a gift to her from a family member. She said that she had it sitting in her stash for a long time and didn’t know what to make with it, so she was passing it on to me in hopes of it becoming something beautiful.

Well, who else could this project be for, but for Laura herself. She gets the yarn back, but now in the shape of the Annis shawlette (pattern available for free here at knitty.com).

 

Love this pattern but I hated the doing the nupps. I would make this again, but may replace the horrid nupps with beads or something.

Hearts from the Heart

Tuesday night when I headed up to my Awesome Knitting Group, the Super Cool Knit Chics had an amazing surprise for me. They had all banded together to knit squares to create an afghan for my hubby Mike

When hubby got sick (story here), we converted a bedroom into his medical room. I, of course, had to cover it in knitted heart items in keeping with the Messed Up Heart Theme we have going as a form of sanity (Well, sane is relative, right?) The Awesome Knit Chics decided to take it even further and knit squares and squares of heart themed goodness and make them into an afghan that fits his little nap bed perfectly!


Also included was a hand colored and mighty detailed chart showing each square and who knitted it. Love it!


I don't think anyone has ever done anything so labored and thoughtful for me.

Mike said he was not deserving of so many stitches, but managed to get over that and made use of the new wooby immediately.

Thank you so much ladies.
