Even though we’d seen the progress of Flickr user iwriteplays was making on this Shepard Fairey-inspired knitted sweater (check it out here, here and here), we were still absolutely floored when we saw the finished product uploaded to the Obama Craft Project Flickr pool.

Breathtaking.

Yes We Can!

Yarnpie designed this knitted beanie hat and has been generous enough to provide a free download for her “I Heart Obama” pattern right here (PDF). Makes us want to pick up our much-neglected needles and make one of these for election day!

Yes We Can!

As promised, we’re posting the finished version of the sweater we wrote about a couple of weeks ago. Marissa Lynn from Moscow, Idaho finished up the sweater for her (adorable) little boy, and it’s even more fabulous than we’d imagined. The Fair Isle work is amazing, let alone the unmistakable face on the back and “OBAMA” on the front.

And you need to knit him this sweater. (By the way, DDOOCFS=”Daily Dose of Obama Craft for Sale.”)

Etsy seller mysavannahcottage, of Savannah, Georgia, is offering a pattern for the must-have dog sweater of this campaign cycle. And she is donating the proceeds of the sales of this pattern to the Campaign for Change.

These lovely socks were knitted by Flickr user smrjunior out of some very special yarn. It’s named “Audacity” is created by Black Bunny Fibers, with $5 from each skein sold being donated to the Obama campaign. We just checked, and it looks like Black Bunny just restocked this yarn in a variety of weights, so if you want to knit your very own Audacity creation with this beautiful multi-colored yarn, you may be in luck!
