Slippers for Casey
Mood:  hug me
Now Playing: My sweet Granddaughter
Casey likes pink Camouflage. Earlier this winter I knit her a hat and mittens using this yarn. I had some left over yarn. So I knit this pair of slippers for her, using my favorite slipper pattern. It is easy and knits up fast. I used 2 strands of the pink camouflage yarn held together, so that the slippers would be very warm for her. I put pom, poms on the slippers because little girls need pom, poms on their slippers!!
This pattern is called Aunt Maggie's slippers, the pattern can be found here at http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/maggieslippers.html
I used Red heart yarn, the color Pink Camouflage.

Anatolian Mitttens

Now Playing: Folk Mittens from Turkey
This mitten pattern is from Turkey. The pattern is influenced by Turkish carpets, and embroidery, which often revealed a wearer's community and social rank. The pattern came from the book Folk Mittens. I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease the colors white, and ranch red.
