Potato Chip Pocketbook Slipper Knits

By -
 OH the places you'll go with some leftover yarns...
Lots of you have knitted the Pocketbook Slippers but I just 
started.   I think, no I know, I'm in love. 
S0.....First Pair's for ME! 
I knit ONE of the pair yesterday and it was a super quick
easy pattern. 


*I'm not about last minute gift knitting, 
* I will not start last minute gift knitting
* I don't believe in stress knitting
*I won't start now


but I will be casting on more of these babies!  (Now if only I had Red and Green worsted weight in my leftover stash....
ahem...I think I have red....)

Have you been finding time to knit? 
I have to knit or I go coo coo!

I haven't seen this slipper before: it is really interesting and looks comfy.

I'm doing last minutes gift knitting that I vowed not to do. I take promises to others way more seriously than promises to myself.

No knitting at all here. I still need to get Christmas cards out! Those are tempting though... off to Ravelry.

I've never seen such a pattern. I'm not sure I would know its a slipper if I saw it laying there. How interesting!

I am frantically working on two different scarves, and I would love to get them finished by Christmas. Realistically, they may be finished by New Years!

I don't think that I would ever wear those because I generally prefer to go barefoot at home, but they look like SO much fun to knit!

End-of-year and knitting time is scarce!! I'm so thankful to grab a few minutes here and there. At least the shopping is done and I can breathe when I get home in the evenings.

I love the slippers!! I have the pattern but have never used it. Now is the time!

Hugs to you,

I get super grumpy if I don't knit, check blogs, or if there are lots of untidy things around me. I'm still working on last-minute things! I have to finish a hedgehog to mail off for a sale for my old knitting group. And I promised my boyfriend a scarf... I don't think he expects it but I'll keep trying to finish it!

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...
