Flashy slippers
Mood:  silly
Now Playing: slippers for my Mom
My Mom is 73 years old, and a very flashy girl. She wears very colorful clothing. You can definitely see her coming. Big earing's, and a watch to match every outfit that she wears. I think that she watches to much QVC, and the Home shopping network. Any way I have made her a pair of slippers. I used Yarn Bee Yarn in the color Nightfire. It is a fuzzy black and gold yarn. I got this yarn at Hobby Lobby. And 1 strand of Red Heart Black held together so that the slippers would be warm. I also knit a pair of Pink slippers for my niece Misty, and a pair of black wool slippers for her husband Jason.

Top-Down Mittens for Kids
Mood:  special
Now Playing: Making Gifts
I have made a pair of Top-Down mittens for my Granddaughter Casey. I have never made anything from the top-down before. I may try to knit a pair of socks from the top-down some day. The pattern for these mittens came from

I used Lamb's Pride worsted wool for these mittens. I am sure these will keep her fingers nice and warm this winter. Next on the needles is more fuzzy slippers. I have more gifts to knit. The Red gloves are for my Mother-in-law, she is a Red Hat lady. I am sure that she will enjoy the gloves.

Yarn shopping
Mood:  on fire
I went shopping today, and my credit card is sizzling. I had a nice time with my sister. We went to lunch. Then to Hobby Lobby. Yarn was on sale so I bought $113.00 worth of yarn. I just love the glitzy yarns. I don't know what i am going to make with them yet. I bought a new quilt, and a bracelet. And a suede jacket for my dog Elvis. I am sure that he will just love his new jacket.

I have finished a pair of slippers. The are called Shaker slippers. The pattern has an optional cuff. I made them with a cuff. The pattern also says to use size 13 needles, so I did, but if I make them again, I am going to use a smaller needle, because the knit is to loose. I would like a closer tighter knit. I used TLC Essentials yarn, the color Falling leaves, and the color Autumn red. I like the way that these 2 colors look together. The pattern came from http://www.p2designs.com/ShkrSlpr.htm

Glad Hands Gloves
Mood:  on fire
I finished my sisters gloves today. They fit her perfectly! She loved them. I used Noro yarn, the color Kureyon. My sister RoxAnn bought then pattern for me at my LYS. It is knit flat and then folded and sewed up. It was an easy pattern to make. I am going to have to make a few more pairs of gloves for gifts. You can go to the iknitiative web site to purchase the pattern if you would like to have the pattern. I am starting a sweater for my Rat Terrier puppy today. He is 9 1/2 months old now. And it gets very cold in South Dakota in the winter. He will need a nice warm wool sweater.
