(Her photo shown here with her permission.) After she knit my Polar Chullo hat design for her husband, she took her favorites among the Polar Chullo charts, grabbed her leftovers + six more hat-size Spindrift yarn packs, centered everything over a basic, dropped-shoulder silhouette and *poof* - magic! What a fantastic job she did! Isn't she adorable in her new pullover?! https://twostrands.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/kilim-on-cholla-e1574005938769.jpgKilim on chollaI knit these using my "Kilim" design, one of many free Christmas ball patterns you'll find on my website, MaryAnnStephens.com . I sent them off to Jamieson's of Shetland last week for their Christmas appeal to help raise funds for an MRI machine for Shetland. Imagine the terrible accidents and painful conditions that require MRI scans for proper diagnosis; now imagine having to take a boat or flight to the mainland while in that painful condition before a diagnosis is possible. Heartwrenching!! Knitted Christmas baubles of all types, from devoted Fair Isle knitting fans from all over the world, will decorate the tree in their Lerwick, Shetland shop window this holiday season. Eventually, they'll be auctioned off and the funds will go to #mrimaakers, the group that's spearheading the MRI campaign. For more information, see my Instagram page, https://www.instagram.com/maryannstephensknits/ and visit https://mrimaakers.com/ .
