Funnies
A married couple was in a terrible accident where the man's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from his body because he was too skinny. So the wife offered to donate some of her own skin. However, the only skin on her body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from her buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and they requested that the doctor also honor their secret.
After all, this was a very delicate matter. After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the man's new face. He looked more handsome than he ever had before! All his friends and relatives just went on and on about his youthful beauty!
One day, he was alone with his wife, and he was overcome with emotion at her sacrifice. He said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?"
"My darling," she replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."

That afghan is amazing. I have been playing with designs in my mind to make a blanket and I am still debating what design to make. How long did it take you?
Hi, Monica.
Thanks for the comment. The afghan took me about 4 months give or take. But I didn’t only knit that one project. You know how we knitters go! HA! I’m guessing it would’ve taken me about two weeks to complete knitting in the evenings. It knits up quickly using two strands of the Classic Merino and larger needles. I got the pattern from the book Quick Knitted Afghans.
ROSI!!!
HOLY COW!!! I love it girlfriend!! You so ROCK!!!
That’s beautiful! Lucky boss! lol Nice job on the invisible seaming.
Beautiful master piece Rosi!!!!! I can just imagine all the love and energy this work required. Can you see it, can you see, Love, is written right on the left hand side corner. Sharing the pattern and the experience is nice, but sharing the love is priceless. Keep up the good work Knitter of the Year and many more will follow.
