Caffinna’sCreations

This is dh just a few minutes after the attending physician came in last thursday and said if all continues going well, he hopes to be sending dh home later this week! Possible draw backs: the plastic surgeon still has NOT come in to remove stitch and has been due for nearly two weeks now to do so; none of the other doctors involved can seem to get the plastic surgeon to “share” his treatment plan with either them or dh; plastic surgeon is a jurk.

Notice the beard? DH said it waste of time trying to shave while in hospital, so he stopped. I am trying to convince him to keep the beard when he gets out…I like it….I like it alot…I realy LIKE the beard!!!

Here’s the latest one. It was a close call as I did NOT have enough yarn to do another two rows (pattern repeat) when I bound off this one! Whew, I did it just right…no frogging involved.

For those who are counting, and I know you’re out there!, it’s number 10 cloth in 7 days.

Here it is, The Slip Stitch Rib cloth. Tired of looking at my dish/wash cloths yet? You probably will be by the time I get done with them! lol!

This is the most recent dish/wash cloth in my effort to knit them at the average rate of one per day. I am using the perpetual calendar that my sp8 pal sent, “365 Knitting Stitches A Year”, as my insperation. I started on Monday July the third, and I have done 8 cloths so far. I am about to start cloth no. 9, so far I am a couple of days ahead of my schedule. I am, however, in a couple of cloth swaps, and am in C4C (see button in sidebar) so stocking up on cloths is a good thing.

I’ll update on dh as soon as I can manage to get that picture to load on blogger.

Dishcloths

These are three wash/dishcloths that I knitted up using one of the hanks of cotton that my sp8 pal had sent me. DH wanted me to make some cloths for his favorite nurses and/or nurse tech’s. These were given to two differant nurse techs and one of the two male nurses that dh likes.
This one was the only cloth given to a female nurse. I had already made and given her a dishcloth made from the 1# cone of “Peaches and Cream” that I had gotten.
This is made from the same ball of yarn that the cloth for the other male nurse was made from. (Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the nurse’s cloth before leaving the hospital.) This is the first of the cloth made for my “stash-o-cloths”.
This cloth was made from the same yarn as the first nurse’s cloth was made, but this one is for my mother. Hopefully she’ll actually use it and not just leave it lying in a drawer!
Nurse Tech.
This is Amber, one of the nurse tech’s at the hospital. She’s not the only one, but she is the only one I managed to take a picture of. She works evenings and nights, so it’s easier to snap a pic when she isn’t too busy. She’s just one of the wonderful tech’s, inspite of what “mr. crabby pants” says, that do a thankless job!
