[Nfb-krafters-korner] FQ - NFB Krafters Korner's Friday's Questionof the Week for 11/26/10

[qubit]

Hi Annette,
I wish we were traveling as that would give me an excuse to finish the 
krafts I wanted to finish for Christmas.
If I did work on anything it would be some plastic canvas items I made for 
my sister-in-law and niece.  The items are red and green Christmas coasters, 
and one tissue box cover.  I am modify Terry Power's pattern for the tissue 
box cover to fit in the words
UFF DA!
on one side.  I have almost finished everything else but that side.  I have 
been trying to calculate the widths of the letters and count the right 
number of holes to skip before making a stitch.
The tissue box cover is red and green and the letters will be in a fluffy 
light weight white yarn, hence appearing like snow.
The significance is that my sis-in-law is allergic to any product that has a 
fragrance. Hence she goes into hysterics when I wear a drop of perfume. 
When I was contemplating whom to give the tissue box cover to, I thought of 
her and her many allergies and the word UFF DA came to mind immediately. 
"uff da" is a scandinavian expression popular in the midwest. It is used as 
an exclamation when something is a little overwhelming -- either good or 
bad.  For example, a bad smell or a beastly hot day evokes an uff da. 
Seeing a very pretty girl can also make a guy say uff da.  You get the 
idea...*smile*

Another gift kraft I'm finishing is a Christmas macrame belt.  I don't know 
who is going to get that one.

I also still am working on an afghan that has been sitting for ages. I want 
to finish it once and for all, but that will have to be done for Christmas 
2011...
So that's all so far.
Hope your krafting is going well -- no dropped stitches or miscounting of 
stitches...
--le

NFB Krafters Korner's Friday's Question of the Week for 11/26/10



 If you are traveling this weekend or for any of the many holidays that
occur this time of year, will you be taking along a craft project or
multiple projects?  If so, what is it and is it something that has to be
finished as a gift?



The purpose of the NFB's Krafters Korner's Friday's Question of the week is
to stimulate craft related conversations and for the sharing of information
which crafters who are blind might find helpful.  If you have ideas for
future Fridays Questions of the Week, please e-mail Annette at
amcarr1 at verizon.net or Joyce at Blindhands at aol.com.



Happy crafting,

Annette
