umbrella boy and girl Hummels on them.

Slippers

 Pink Knitted Slippers

Knitted these slippers for myself.

The ones I had, had a blowout.

They only last a few months.

Might get a longer life out of them than I do because

I often run outside for minutes with them on.

Ended up giving these slippers to Liz.

She had a blowout in her pair too.

I'll make another pair for me.

Finishing

Sew cast on edges and side seams of pillow tog. Fill with polyfiill or pillow form.

I like the polyfiill best.

Sew final seam.

The two pieces look gray.

The completed pillow is the color it really is.

I'm going to knit another one for the other side of the pew.

I used size 8 needles

Don't know the name of the color because it was left over from some other project and don't have the label anymore.

The yarn is 4 wt

The skill level is easy.

The cable stitch is easy once you learn it. If you haven't tried it, do so and you will be surprised how easy it actually is.

Used circular needle because of all the stitches.

Then bind off.

I ran out of yarn so this one is just 171 stitches.

The yarn I used is Lion Brand Fair Isle Wool Ease

Color is Denim/Lilac

Used two skeins 

It is easy and fun to knit.

Slippers

I knitted myself a pair of slippers.

I used yarn that was left over from other projects.

Used two strands of 4 WT yarn.

PATTERN 

Temperataure Blanket

At last I come to the end of knitting the temperature blanket.

It's been fun but I'm glad it is over.

 

I made two because one was getting too big.

First one is Jan through Jun. 

The second is July through Dec.

Here are the two of them

First one I knitted the whole thing.

Second one I knitted a row and then purled a row.

The plain knitted one is a bit smaller than the other.

You can read about the idea of the Temperature Blanket.

HERE. 

Also the temperature range colors that I used.

Never used the brightest red which was the hottest and only

one day of the the other red.

Fishermen's Throw Shawl

This is the same pattern I used for the Fishermen's Throw

using the bulky multicolor yarn on big needles.

 I think it is so much nicer using one color so you can see the pattern.

I'm using 4 wt yarn and size 9 knitting needles.

This is 22 inches wide and so far 28 inches long.

Since it is not long enough for a shawl I'm going to knit

the pattern once more and that will make it 56 inches.

That should be long enough for a shawl.

I can always start the pattern again if it is not quite long enough.

EDIT

I decided not to make this a shawl after all.

Didn't like the pattern for a shawl.

I knitted a bit more on it and 

have it as a baby blanket.

Pattern Notes

This throw is worked flat in one piece from end to end.

This was fun to knit because it was different on such large needles with thick yarn.

That said I probably wouldn't make another blanket with such bulky yarn.

I'm going to make another Fisherman's Throw but use regular 4 weight yarn and all of the same color.  The pattern is so pretty but with all the different colors you can't really see the pattern.

The next one I'll be making will be all green for my friend Dorothy.

Baby Hat

 Baby Hat

This is the hat I knitted to go with the booties and the blanket

on the two previous posts.

It's for Fallon's baby girl due in January.
