New Slippers!

I've just finished this design. The slippers are my Super Slippers, felted and very warm and I've added the cuffs. My suggestion is leftover sock yarn for the cuffs so the completed slippers continue to be washable. The first pairs were of course for my grandsons- they approved!

RESOLVED

I resolve to knit 2 things from stash yarn before making each yarn purchase for 2009... hats count!


p.s. I have patterns available for the felted mittens from Living Crafts (www.livingcrafts.com) as well as many other original designs. I am also available to do custom work for you- need an original one-of-a-kind article? I'm your girl! Just email me or post a comment for more information.

Amazing !

This is me- on the front page of the local paper- what fun! my LYS (www.backalleyfibers.com) is hosting a party on Saturday. I hope to see everybody there.

Ready!

Here is the corner of my kitchen- ready for Christmas. I took a morning away from deadlines last week and sewed this Christmas bib just for fun. Sometimes I just have to goof off!

Felted Mittens

These are some of my felted mittens. I make them in all sizes from small child to adult.

At my daughter's suggestion, I added the 'snow cuffs'. These are long, ribbed cuffs intended to be worn inside your coat sleeves while the gauntlet part of the mitten stays on the outside and Viola! no snow inside your sleeves! They are great mittens but what I'm really, really excited about is having my pattern PUBLISHED! The new issue of Living Crafts Magazine http://www.livingcrafts.com/ contains my mitten pattern. I'm so excited that if I think about it too much I get sort of sick. Last night when I was trying to sleep I found myself wondering, "do ya think the Yarn Harlot was this excited the first time she got published?"

Happy Birthday, Welton
