Amazing- just think free electricity when you use the drill and silent banging from the hammer
Totally fabulous!!
Those are amazing!
Ohmygosh, Barbara! These are amazing! Does Nadra have a website? Is there a pattern available for these? I must have it!! I'll pay anything, LOL!
In my excitement, I forgot to mention why I need these. My husband does home repairs and renovations for a living and these would be so much fun to display!
Wow! That is really creative! Thanks for the chuckle!
OMG this is amazing. Some people are so creative and talented, wow!
Wow! These are great!
Those are really neat, your friend is truly creative and talented.

Nade and I laughed about the pattern request. She does these totally intuitively. Here's what she says:
"227 single stitches in gray, rip out 192, 54 half-double, rip out 31..."
good to see creative spirit like Nadra Dangerfield's
