Knit (and crocheted!) entirely from my stash, this lovely 100% virgin acrylic piece of Americana kept my digits busy as I fell deeper and deeper into the sway of the 2008 campaign season. As a result I found that I knit faster when something I heard, saw, read ticked me off along the way. Ahhh yes, it's those little revelations that make our political system worth participating in....
I had actually planned to wear this cape while voting, but alas it was nearly 80 degrees in my hood yesterday! At any rate, I wore it to work today. Uh yeah, pretty much everyone at the Cube Farm knows which way my political pendulum swings now...
Oh yes, we did!

I love seeing knit and crochet get along in the same design! See, anything really is possible!

So cool that you wore it to work too! :-)
That looks awesome! Have you seen the Obama sweaters? I have to make one!
I feel guilty about this being my first comment to your blog and wanting something from you, but I would LOVE the pattern!!
hehe...I tried to get my daughter to wear the RW&B cape I made for the Bi-Centennial in 1976, for her first time to vote, but alas, she was not having any of it. BUT, she did think being able to go to a polling place to vote was "awesome", her word, not mine. Yes.She.Did.
Congratulations USA!!! Great change & lots of hope!
I like your americana cape very very much!
Just the beginning of change my friend! Woo hoo!
I love the cape!!
Splendid!
That is so wonderful, so beautiful. Isn't it a great time!!
Yay, for change! YES. WE. DID! I was too fidgety to even work on a project. I don't know how you found the patience.
See it doesn't matter which way your swing -- your patriotic and that is what matters most! Love, love, love the shawl!
