Wordless Wednesday (Almost)

Almost, because, I am never without words.

Just sometimes pressed for time.  And rather unorganized and not planned ahead.

Like for this post.  Busy night last night.  Doing this...




The French Press Slippers have been further shrinkied by wetting and tumble drying.  They are considerable shorter than when previously photographed, and I believe will fit DSis nigh on to perfectly now.  Pair next are ready for felting. (Patons Classic Wool)

And this. Big Foot Shawl, Wrapped In Comfort, Allison Jeppson Hyde (the book gifted to me by Wisest Sister!), knitted with Naturally Dawn, 50:50 wool/silk,




Monday I recieved the yarn from a fellow Raveler to finish off this shawl.  I just love me my fellow 'fancy workers'!

Very stylish and all with the buttons! How cute! I might have to try these. I think it's funny we both posted about felted slippers today! :)

And the shawl ... oh my ... what beautiful work! It looks hard!

Love the slippers. I have to make myself a pair!! And your shawl is gorgeous.

They are both wonderful projects. The slippers turned out so well, and the finishing touches are particularly nice. The shawl is amazing -- I have always loved those lacy patterns, but it looks pretty difficult, especially with all those increases. Nice work, Becky!

The slippers are nice, but that shawl blows me away! Very, very nice work!

The slippers...got the pattern, got some yarn, still need the time and the motivation to get them knitted up. Yours look great! And ooooo! the shawl! beautiful, but ...ummm...that kind of lace scares the crap outta me, so I think I'll hit the slippers first....

The shawl is all about looking hard, folks. The body is a simple 'feather and fan' pattern, which is an 8 stitch/4 row repeat. Memorizable, in other words. And it is not perfect, either. But I am not saying how or where!

Thanks for your wonderful comments.

That shawl is absolutely gorgeous, though it looks impossible to do ~ even though you say it's a breeze. Cool stuff!

Where do my comments go?!? I came back to see what others have said and I am not there!

The slippers are very stylish and warmish looking! Can't wait to try them on!

I post your comments, Jan, as soon as I get them! Something is gobbling them up in the Ether!

  • Welcome...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
