Really???

I am going to felt these strange looking shoe-boats today. I am using Melynda of French Press Knits, pattern for these slippers.

I put my little crocheted slippers from Cintia beside them to show how huge they are now.

If they turn out well, I am going to make some more with my natural handspun churro. These are done with pale peachy-pink natural dyed churro double stranded for the tops. I decided to vary from the pattern and use another color for the bottoms: triple stranded with 2 strands of handspun dark grey churro and one stranded of random grey worsted. I think it will be better for not showing dirt.

This is what we are hoping for. Cross your fingers.

Toes Up Cozy Time

My all time favorite evenings these days are spent in my favorite chair with my favorite PJs' on and these crocheted slippers made for me by Cintia . Tonight I am doing the finishing on about eight pair of fingerless gloves. It has become an obsessive stash buster. Friends want them for Christmas giving, so I'm on it. It's yucky rainy outside and biting cold. Perfect for Trinket and I to catch a little Tivo and enjoy the fire.

Cintia's Fun little Etsy shop

Cintia has been a long-time customer of Cordova Studios, at least as long as the five months we have been open. She started buying my destash churro yarn for her "hippie slippers" then. Ordinarily she was handspinning much of the fiber. I decided to check out her shop. Besides slippers there are fingerless gloves, felted items and handspun yarns. Recently we did a trade and I ordered some slippers. As it turns out most of her slippers are custom for a perfect fit. You can choose colors, embellishments and styles. Here are mine! I love them! Can't wait for chilly weather to wear them. Oh, and I couldn't resist sharing the precious felted baby booties.
