knitting notes

 First, let me say thank you so much for all the wonderful comments you left regarding the leather bag I made.  Your kind words are always encouraging!

Today I thought I'd post some pictures of slippers I knit back in December.  The free pattern is Drops 129-17



 
 

 
 
 




The slippers are knit mostly in seed stitch with garter stitch at the toe.  Instead of the super bulky yarn called for, I combined some cashmerino aran and organic cotton that I had on hand--together they gave me the gauge needed...and made for a luxuriously soft pair of slippers, perfect for gifting!
A great pattern, and I can't wait to make a couple pair for myself--though probably in a more practical-for-me, dark colored, sturdy wool  :)

Details on my Ravelry page.

  5. Cute slippers. I always love your vignettes. That bag was pretty amazing! Sorry I didn't comment sooner. I'm planning on trying the garter stitch slipper pattern that's free on Ravelry when the knitting schedule allows. You are so talented.
