Slippers for OH

After the success of my Fluffy not Bunny Slippers, Oh asked me for a pair. So I ordered some lovely green cascade 220. He didn't want them fluffy, so he didn't get fluffy. It makes the gaps more obvious, but I still like em.

Dreamcatcher

I also finished the Dreamcatcher square, but forgot to mention it sooner.

Fluffy Not-Bunny Slippers

I've finished the Not-Bunny Slippers. I say not Bunny because I decided against the ears and face that are really part of the pattern. I love them though! They are so cozy and comfy, and I can walk upstairs in them thanks to my own slight modifications!

Fluffy Not-Bunnies top

I love the effect the varigated Louisa Harding yarn made. That was the mohair yarn in there, The main pink is Cascade 220.

Fluffy Not-Bunnies sole

The sole is made from two strands of the Cascade held together. It's a little slippy on my laminate floor, but good on carpet. And nice and springy

As you can see the sides of the slipper come just under my ankle bone, this is good.

And they match my PJs and dressing gown!

Sari Silk Bag

This yarn was a gift from my secret pal. She kindly sent me a pattern to use with it, which I did.

Once I had made the main piece, I had to decide on lining for the bag. I chose some left-over red/gold from my moulin rouge costume.


choice of lining

Then I added the lining and sewed it up down the sides.

Finally I made the icord for the strap.

Now I just need to find an appropriate button...

Tangerine

I started and finished this within a week. It's the "one skein scarf" from Stitch n Bitch: The Happy Hooker.


close scarf

I like the detail, but because I used a finer yarn than recommended, I ended up doing two extra rows.
