A few more rows

For the past hour I have been saying 'just two more rows and then I'll finish my blog post'. Now I'm finishing it.

Do you remember wearing these slippers when you were young? I remember knitting them. Churchmouse Yarns rewrote the pattern a few years ago. They chose Lamb's Pride Worsted (which we don't carry) so I suggest Cascade 220 or Cascade 220 Heathers. The colour choices are endless.

“Shoes off, slippers on!” 

A basket near the front door heaped with these Family Slippers makes for the warmest of welcomes. Our version of these nostalgic slippers evolved from several versions of the pattern found in every auntie’s knitting bag. We finessed the toe a little but left the heel in its simplest form. Embellish your slippers with pom-poms, tassels or buttons -- or try our split cuff for a preppy Oxford shirt look. It’s so easy! 

We chose to knit our slippers in Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Worsted, doubled. A sleeper favorite, we love the hardy durability and cushy comfort of this worsted weight, single spun yarn. And using two strands together means even more sturdy squish! Take a look at the Lamb’s Pride color palette -- you’ll find a range of rich classics, heathers and fun accents. 

We’ve provided the measurements for three finished sizes; small, medium and large. You’ll need one skein of Lamb’s Pride Worsted for the small size, and two skeins for the medium and large sizes.

Mr. FedEx stopped in late this afternoon with a box of yarn and some Lykke needles.

We finally have large double pointed needle sets back in stock.

The trees around the store are beautiful. 

It's too bad that we can't have leaves these colours all year round.

We're just finishing the Great Canadian Baking Show. I think I can get in another few rows.
