Hanging the laundry

 This is a Counted Cross Stitch I made back in 2007.

It sits above my washing machine.

Februarys Baby Blanket

 Februarys Baby Blanket

70 Weave-it Squares sewn together.

Yarn used was Caron Simply Soft.

Left over colors from other blankets.

 

Yarn arrived in the mail

Ordered a bunch of yarn from Herrschners that was on sale

and it arrived a couple of days ago.

One Pound hanks of Caron yarn

(didn't even know it came that size)

and some packs of Bernat pop yarn.

This should keep me busy for a while.

Slippers

 Knitted Slippers

Slippers - Basic Pattern

Size 6 knitting needles.

Cast on 41 stitches.

Row 1 - Knit

Row 2 - K15, P1, K9, P1, K15

Instead of knitting Row 1 you can Knit 5, Purl 1, Knit 9, Purl 1, Knit 5 - it will give you a little cuff that you can fold down.  Continue the same.

Repeat these two rows until 13 ridges.

Bind off 6 stitches at the beginning of next 2 rows.

K9, P1, K9, P1, K9

Continue till one inch of desired length.

Toe

Row 1 - P1, K1 all the way across row.

Row 2 - K1, P1 all the way across row.

Do these two rows 3 times.

Last row - K 2 together till one stitch left and K that one.

Cut length of wool for sewing and with sewing needles pull through stitches on knitting needle and pull tight. Sew inside out.

I used size 6 needles and 

two strands of Red Heart Worsted yarn.

You can make them with one strand and change yarn and needles to the

size you want.

🧶    🧶    🧶

To make tiny baby slippers 

I use size 1 needles and baby weight yarn

Instead of 13 ridges make 7 ridges.

Still bind off 6 stitches at the beginning of the next to rows.

(8 ridges)

Continue in pattern till 12 ridges.

Toe - just do row 1 and 2 once (like regular size)

Continue like regular size

I like to put a pair on a baby gift box instead of a bow.
