Just finished a new pair of slippers, just in time for our first real cold snap:
The pattern is Duffers. The yarn is Brown Sheep Lambspride from the stash. The buttons are cute:
And the bottoms are also dicey:
I thought the dice buttons were particularly appropriate because felting to size can be a roll of the dice. But these came out just fine after going through the wash cycle with a load of jeans and part of a dryer cycle.
I'm still doing the applied I-cord borders on the afghan (I'm kind of sick of knitting with black yarn). And after repairing 3 broken warp threads today, I'm still weaving the award ribbons. Would like to get those finished so I can try to weave something to submit to the show and have a chance at winning one of those ribbons.
You know, it seems like 2012, might be rather productive.
I love the buttons! What did you use on the bottom? Leather?
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for the rest of the yarn order to show up so I can start weaving again!!
I think 2012 will be very productive!!
Pretty darn cute slippers! Who wouldn't love those dice buttons?
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy and I know what you mean about knitting with black, or dark blue for that matter. Kind of boring and tiring on the eyes.
So far 2012 has been productive here too!
I like the slippers. They tuned out so cute. I have a pattern that I am going to do one of these days! I also do not like knitting with black. hard to see the stitches, especially at night. I have clear knitting needles now that I use for dark colors. Sorry to hear about the warp thread breaks. Nothing more frustrating. I'm weaving an Alpaca shawl right now. Take care,
