Sue Kreitzer in Sanger TX has really stepped up and knit 3 complete afghans for our homeless and cold families in North Dakota.  She also did all the sewing of the pieces.  2 of them were knit in squares using many beautiful stitches and detail, and the red, white, and blue one is a one piece design.  Great work shows a lot of caring for less fortunate women and children. Thank you, Sue!                             

 

                

 I have completed a new rug and this I would have to say is the jazziest one. I am quite happy with the way the fringe turned out - it just makes me smile. We will post the instuctions up for free if anyone would like to give it a try. I used Lion Brand, Wool Ease, only 5 skeins to complete whole rug and that is including fringe. The complete size is 20″x40″.  

 

I’ve been working on a new rug  and I wanted to share. I experimented with doing the “box stitch” throughout adding 2 stripes with the “open rib” to add a change in texture. (Really, you can only see one in this picture because the other stripe was just knit). 

It is really easy to do and knits great with the new heavy duty knitting board.  I will put pattern up for free when I’m finished. I used Raliwool but any really heavy bulky yarn would work.
