Cckittenknits

Just made a little gnome from a left over tension swatch that was made on the passap machine.

Just finished three afghans to donate to a school for their craft bazaar. They sell raffle tickets and the money goes to the performing arts. Fun to give and a good cause.

Tatted Christmas Ornament I shuttle tatted the outside ring of this ornament. The tatting is in-between a ring that holds another tatted design with a red stone in the middle. There is a fabric circle that is also between the ring that holds the middle design. The tatting is made with 100% Egyptian cotton called Lizbeth size...

Just finished two afghans on the Passap E 6000 today.

Passap E 6000 Console Repair

Passap E 6000 Console Repair I managed to rescue an E 6000 for a friend I know in Maine that was looking for one. It was on Craigs list at a location that was ten minutes away.

Passap Afghan by Michael Becker of Distinctive Knits I made this afghan for a woman's granddaughter. Her granddaughter saw one that I made her and she told her grandmother that she wanted it. Of course, she said no. So I asked what her granddaughters favorite colors are and she said cream and black. Yep, I have those colors. And so the story begins.

Light Weight Hat made on the Brother http://wp.me/p6xW6-17N

Light Weight Hat made on the Brother Years ago my brother in law asked me if I could make him a light weight hat, one layer, without all the bulk at the top of the head.
