Slippers, violet not ruby

ok so I made slippers for my little sister for Christmas or so I thought, they are not going to fit, I am upset, I am going to have to sit down and knit another pair and I have to make sure that they will fit and be dry by Christmas, UURGG! Darn that cute pattern! I was sucked in and did not even try to be smart, and knit early or test knit! I paid $7.00 for you and you suck, its so disappointing.....

New Book!

I am now the proud owner of the GlamKnits book by Stefanie Japel, super awesome Jean bought it for me for Christmas! We did a cookie swap the other night at knitting as well and it was a blast, we had so much fun and the goodies were great, I am going to have to put my new recipies into play soon. I think that I am going to make a pair of earrings for Jean for Christmas, hopefully she won't read my blog tonight, lol. Not quite done with my slippers for Lindsey, I made heat sacks for much of my family, and I got some easy necklace closures for my grandmother, if she will use them. I know that no one likes to get older but sometimes we need a bit of help. Kay made me some really nice earring as well and I wore them with my sweater last night. Also I think that I am going to try to creat a post with just the information from my Knit in Chunks sweater and post my chart and the modifications that I made just in case anyone would like to make one like mine without frustration.

ok, pic of some non knitting pleasure for my stepmother, it is a drawing of a train wreck in mid 1800's, it was the first insurance payout of Northwestern Mutual Insurance...

And here is some knitting pleasure, even though part of it is not for me...


The shawl is also for my stepmother, and the hat may be for me, apparently I love hats, and I would love to make myself some matching mittens, oh yeah, I have enough yarn to do that! But wait! Christmas is coming near and I need to make gifts for everyone else, I am making slippers for my sister, they are adorable and the pattern better turn out is all I can say because it cost me 7 friggin dollars...I have started already with a Tweed yarn, purple is the base color and then it has the red and yellow green and blue flecks of color all over...light gray purple is the only color I guess you could call it I suppose. Will post after I make them on here, won't be able to post on Ravelry since my little sister looks on there. hahaha
