Harley Davidson Emblem Chart
I found this after scouring the internet for a Harley chart. This is a free chart from Jessica Tromp. It can be found here:
http://www.jessica-tromp.nl/knittingpatterns_breipatronen/heren_breipatroon_siersteken_2_bestanden/harley%20trui.png

Flame Chart
This was a self created chart. :) I couldn’t find any flame pattern online that I liked so I created my own. I will try to get the pattern for this up soon.

Name patterns
These were altered for intarsia and to fit rectangle sized needed from Rhonda White’s alphabet patterns.
http://www.knittingknonsense.com/ALPHA_TABLE.htm

Once all the rectangles are created, afghan is crocheted together with gray for the interior and black for the boarder.

This project from concept to gifting took me just about a year. I figure there is somewhere in the ballpark of 270 hours invested in this blanket.

Fingerless Gloves for Dad :)

Just a little something to keep most of his hands warm while he's out there driving around with the windows down! :)




Yarn: Red Heart Black
Needles: 8
Pattern: http://myknittingbasket.blogspot.com/2007/12/sock-monkey-fingers-popped-out-wrist.html

I cut the pattern short to give the desired wrist length my dad requested.
The bind off used is "Jeny's surprisingly stretchy bind off" as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abBhe-JYmgI

Baby Blanket for Lori's First Granddaughter

Volunteering Again! My small part.....

I am volunteering to knit 6x9 rectangles for http://www.rectangle6x9.org/ This voluteer group takes the rectangles, sorts them, designs the layout, assembles them, washes and packages them for distribution to our Armed Forces wounded. The afghans are distributed to 10 military hospitals state-side and abroad.

Here I am crocheting rectangles from volunteers like me. I requested a blanket that needed assemblying from my Rectangle Collector contact.

I will be sending this one back for final washing, photographing, packing and distribution. Hopefully it will bring some comfort to one of our wounded warriors.

If you would like to contibute to this cause but can not knit or crochet, there is a wish list of needs! Click here to see the list: http://www.rectangle6x9.org/Wish%20List.htm Then contact me and I will get your donations to the voluteer group! THIS IS A VOLUNTEER GROUP, THIS IS NOT A 501 ORGANIZATION. DONATIONS ARE NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
