Election Projects

This election there were a number of knitting and cross stitch patterns available. I took advantage of a couple of them, knitting a hat while in line for Hillary's final rally in Raleigh, NC (we got in line too late) and the cross stitch was finished post-election, and I decided that I was only allowed to mope about the results until it was finished.

Pattern: I'm with Her (Ravelry mine)

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in Grey Heather and Blue Mint

Needles: US5/3.75mm & US7/4.5mm

Timeframe: November 7 - 8, 2016

Mods: Did not increase after ribbing, made it a bit shorter so it wasn't so slouchy.

Problems: None!

Pattern: Nasty Woman by Wee Little Stitches

Cloth: 14 count mint green Aida

Thread: DMC as per pattern except I used 826 for the blue

Finishing: 6" spray painted wooden hoop with a piece of cardboard holding in the edges of the fabric in the back. 

Timeframe: Early November 2016

Problems: None!
