So the weather is getting colder and well that makes me want to knit new slippers. I've already made myself a couple pairs in years past..Fiber trends felted clogs, and the Cocoa Knits Malibrigo Loafers... Both very cozy..
Then I saw the Cocoa Knits Pleated Ballet Flats I have some yarn to make them but haven't yet. Soon I tell you..
Then my Ravelry/Cleveland Knits West bud Corrie Favorited the French Press Slippers and before I knew it I'd purchased, downloaded, & printed the pattern. Pulled out my needles and some yarn and cast on! Many is it super fast! I had the pieces all knit up in 2 days...a total of my 3 hours of knitting time. Then I sewed them up and giggled about how giant they appeared, then felted them at my mom's. Now they are very cute. I got my buttons and sewed those on and presto here they are!
So the other day I stopped at Michael's and well the Paton's was on sale for 2 for $5 so how could I pass it up? I bought 2 skeins and came home and started my 2nd pair. They just need felting now...
I am addicted to these I think...so fast easy and cute! I have some natural yarn from Webs that I kettle dyed to make another pair! (except that I love the yarn I dyed and I think I want it to be a scarf or cowl) Yeah, I may have a problem.
