Jo Knits!

Felt-Along day!

Oh gosh! I've been knitting all day and finally have time to post an entry! LOL!

Today is the offical FFFA day, we are a bunch to start our fuzzy feet felted slippers together. Last I counter there were more than 80 names on Kate's FFFA page. I finished the 1st slipper today and just started the 2nd one. This pattern is also helping me to conquer my fear of kitchener stitch. ACK! I've made 2 socks and still they are waiting to be grafted a month later. LOL!

Yup! That's my 1st slipper, it's HUGE but I wear size 10 shoes too. lol! Sorry for the somewhat bad picture, low lighting. Tomorrow I'll take a better one outside. I'm SOOOOOOOOOO eager to felt them, of course I need to finish the 2nd slipper before. ;) At the toe decrease I got to a "uhoh moment" I really got scared that I wouldn't have enough yarn to finish the slipper. I only bought 2 balls of Lopi so I sure don't want to be missing just a few yards and need to buy an extra ball of yarn just to end the project. It must be such a pain to realize you are missing yarn just at the end of a project. Especially one such at this one, where you are so excited to complete the project. :)

I almost finished the the front of Zoe's sweater also. All is going super well! I'm very happy to see my projects advance well like this.

Thank goodness for my online friends who deal with my many knitting related questions a day! LOL! I have moments where I'm sure I am doing everything wrong and they are there to reassure me that yes, it's all wrong but that I can fix it! LOL! ;)

Theresa's (from Knit Something!) soaker pattern is NOW online!!!! If you are a parent and use cloth diapers, run over to her site and check out the soakers she makes. She just wrote the pattern for wool soakers. I can't wait to start on a pair for Lucas. :)

Well off to work more on the 2nd slipper, this pattern is really super fast to make. Theresa (from the Bagatell blog) is the creator of the Fuzzy Feet pattern and she knitting up a slipper today in 90minutes. WOW! If only I could knit so fast! LOL!

Dh has already requested a pair for himself. Lucky for me his 25th birthday is coming up March 1st, this will be an easy gift to make. ;)

hugs to all the FFFA knitters out there! :)
