My very favorite slippers ever (you might recall them from here and here) have holes in the soles.
I am so sad. They still work since it's warm out now, but I am going to have to make me some new ones, and I am so afraid that I will not remember how to do it! I knit them under the tutelage of the Knitting Queen last time, so may have to bribe her to come over and just be near by - her very presence is inspirational when it comes to creative projects.
Since putting my house on the market, I have not knit a single stitch. The mittens I started in December ... still thumbless. The baby gift I started well in advance of the due date? That baby is rolling over now and still giftless from me.
I miss it. Will have to dig out some half-done project, or maybe just start new with new slippers. Maybe tonight.

and did you start a new project??
ReplyDeleteSigh ... nope, went to a stupid movie instead.
ReplyDeleteMaybe tonight?
:)
ReplyDeleteGot out the mittens and knit one more row before getting too tired to continue.
ReplyDeletei was not as successful as you with the slippers... mine shrunk too much, hubby's not enough..
ReplyDeleteperhaps I could be swayed into a third attempt - with the right motivation?
LJH can you keep washing the hubby slippers? I've found some yarns require 3 or 4 washing to get the right size - SME
ReplyDeleteK- you can knit a patch, sew it on and then wash your slippers again - I've done this for my purple ones numerous times and now I finally decided they need to be trashed and a new pair created - I've got the yarn for this new pair - so I'm ready to get together and work on them when you are.
ReplyDeleteand speaking of knitting...
ReplyDeleteI can't find a minute between now and July 5th - mostly because once we get thru graduation, we'll be in Ireland for 10 days! I think they have sheep there? (LOL) And where there are sheep, THERE WILL BE YARN!! any requests?
:-)
