One year ago Today ...
It is the anniversary of my Dear Husband (DH) having major brain surgery and the Lord allowing him to be given back to us for awhile longer in this life time. It's like a birthday. A rebirth. It was such a traumatic year that is hopefully over and turning for the better. I have faith that it is.
I am going to give away a prize for the "guessing" contest I talked about. The one on "what could I possibly be knitting" out of left-over wool. I was going to give another hint, but ...
I have a winner ... Sandy from sunny California. She was half right and that makes her close enough; she commented "....could it possibly be a cup/glass cozy with a place mat or hot pad to set the glasses on?" Sandy Ziegler | 06.23.09 - 1:11 pm " Well close enough, Sandy.
They ARE cup/glass cozies to save your hands and keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. For paper cups or metal glasses or glass of a similar shape as the paper cup ... and the other half is a "French Coffee/Tea Press Cozy" The patterns came from: from Knitting Pattern a Day Calendar 2009
The Coffee/Tea Press I have is a small one. Just a two cupper. So I might cut the cozy a little more down to size. I also have it tied with yarn scraps for right now but I'm planning to put snaps on. Well once I decide it's for this press and not a larger one. Mmmmmm, maybe I can use two snaps and make it for both sizes. I'll think on that.
But the cup/glass cozies are my favorites. I plan to give a few away as gifts.
I've also finished a shower gift ... a wedding garter. [a very productive weekend to say the least.] Hope she considers it an heirloom. I ended out hand sewing the bias tape & elastic in.
Oh ya, I also finished an ongoing project that's been sitting in my WIP basket. One that felt like it would take "forever" ... but the yarn ran out finally and I'm finally DONE!
My Pleated Cashmere Wrap [Pattern: Pleated Wrap by Debbie Bliss from Debbie Bliss Knitting Magazine, Spring/Summer 2009]

Could this possibly be enough for one weekend? I'm rebounding maybe.
