This elephant is so cute!

a Vale Hospice Knitted Elephant

When you knit the Skanda Vale Hospice Knitted Elephant, you are knitting for a good cause. This knitted animal pattern makes an adorable elephant you can send directly to the hospice or sell on their behalf in order to raise money for their new in-patient unit. Skanda Vale Hospice is located in South West Wales. The hospice is run by the monks and nuns of Skanda Vale Monastery. Interestingly enough, the monastery is also an animal sanctuary and the inspiration for this knit elephant pattern is Valli, the elephant who calls the sanctuary home. Work up this cute knitted animal for yourself or your kids or consider donating it to the hospice to support their admirable efforts.

"Good night Daisy doll is all ready for bedtime - she has her teddy bear and her hotwater bottle. Daisy is approximately 34 cm (13.5 inches) tall. Her little bear is approximately 7 cm (2.8 inches) tall. Daisy doll is knitted flat. I used DK/8ply yarn and 3.25 (US 3, UK 10) knitting needles, but of course you can use any yarn and needle combination you like that gives good tension. Great project for using up oddments of yarn."

Parents may breathe a sigh of relief at the beginning of each new school year, but their children certainly don't feel the same way. Use knitted toy patterns like the Magical Mini Backpack charms to help ease your children's transition by adding a little magic to their school day. Free knitting patterns for toys make great lunchbox surprises and key chain charms, especially when they're perfect miniatures of everyday school objects. Your kids will be enchanted to find that these little charms even have straps, just like their real backpacks.

First completed project of the year - fingerless gloves using my stash of @langyarns_official sock yarn and some sparkly @swarovski elements crystals.

Trotz meines linken Armes geht es langsam aber es geht.

Die Wolle habe ich von @ingridbohmisch #bojoswolltraum und ehrlich gesagt, hat mich dieser Strang einige Nerven gekostet. 😂 Kennt ihr bestimmt. Ihr nehmt euch einen Strang und alles was ihr anstrickt, gefällt einem nicht. Mittlerweile bin ich bei NS 2,25 angelangt und jetzt wildert die Wolle und ich habe keine Ringel mehr 😂😂😂

Wolle: Opal; handgefärbt von #bojoswolltraum NS 2,25 @knitprodeu Royalé Muster: Chart aus dem Internet

The Saga Continues

Last week, I recounted the ways that my world has been falling apart, and while I had a brief reprieve over the holiday weekend...

...the crumbling recommenced even before we got in the car to come home...

...and continues as I type: hurrying up and waiting to schedule each day around appointments at hospitals and doctor’s offices, making hard choices in the wake of a collaborative collapse, watching helplessly as people I love suffer.

My nephew’s mom is still not completely clear of a big-C diagnosis. One of my former students called in shambles this morning. Old Goat is wrestling with his own challenges, and we’re both tired.

A pile of crisis has slowly grown at my feet, and my only choice is to keep climbing.

The Upside

On the upside, Carmine’s most recent blood work returned completely normal, so we’re all resting a bit more easily...

...especially him.

I’ve regained use of almost all of my fingers as the swelling and bruising from last week’s hound-melee has slowly waned, but I’m still not able to use the indigo-tinged finger to keep tension on my yarn. As a continental knitter, this is devastating...

...but not insurmountable. With a six-hour ride in the car ahead of me on Friday, I had a choice: languish in knitless misery or finagle a way to make stitch happen English style.

Even with all of the fiddling and fumbling, I still wish the rest of my dilemmas were that easy.

Who’s got some tips for me as I work on my throwing technique?

My beautiful wrap

My beautiful wrap #yarn #wrap #advent2021 #knitting #knittersoftwitter #knits

So I’m tooting my own horn here, but I think this wrap I knitting using botanical yarn’ 2021 advent yarn is completely divine 😍😍 It took me a while to decide which pattern I wanted to make with all my super squishy and gorgeous 24 mini skeins but I eventually settled on Lamina wrap pattern by Ambah O’Brien. In the beginning stages I love the look of lace on knits although I have discovered…

I finished this hat for my sister on Saturday, @purlsoho’s Simple Pleasures pattern. Deep purple. Cashmere, mohair and silk, yessss. Maybe I’ll break it in a bit for her. #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftwitter http://bit.ly/2GksKkz

From @knittymag - “I designed these as a basic that goes with different outfits and the simple yet elegant design is suitable for women and men alike. The special attribute is the unusual placement of the thumb gusset, which is worked not even near the thumb. The mitts look a bit skew when off the hands, but fit your hands comfortably snug when worn. The mitts are rather long to stay nicely under your coat sleeves to keep out the chill.” Link➡️ https://knitty.com/ISSUEff14/PATThiddengusset/PATThiddengusset.php #knittymag #freeknittingpattern #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftwitter #knittersoftumblr https://www.instagram.com/p/CjLw1tEvq0G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The knitting is complete on this gorgeous #tenstitchtwist #blanket available on #ravelry as a #freedownload by #frankiebrown It may be Wednesday, but here's #WiP ! I started in the center with 1 skein (223 yards) of #patons #classicwool #yarn in the colorway Bird of Paradise, followed by a skein (197 yds) of #lionbrand #wooleaseyarn in the colorway Heathered Grey, followed by the same yarn in the colorway Misty Blue, followed by Forest Green, then Black, Forest Green, then another skein of Patons Classic Wool in some miscellaneous shade of Blue, another skein of Lion Brand Wool Ease Heathered Grey, finished off with some purplish flavor of LB Woolease. Can you tell how much I love making these blankets? They're just so easy to make and the results are, tbh, breathtaking! I never thought of it until a friend's mom mentioned it, but is does sort of resemble the eye of a hurricane! This is what kept my nerves together throughout all this #HurricaneIda nightmare! The final step is going to be something I've never tried before: felting!!! I'm going to wash in hot water until it begins to felt and then machine dry it to complete the process...

Nun, es ist soweit. Anleitung muss neu ausgedruckt werden, Nadeln liegen bereit und das Garn auch. Alex und ich haben beschlossen, dieses Tuch zusammen zu stricken. Beide haben wir mal angefangen und bei ihr würde es ein UFO und ich musste wieder so ribbeln, weil die Wolle die ich dafür hatte aufgrund des Farbverlaufs doch nicht geeignet war. Start: 16.
