I feel like beginning a new project, but I'm swamped with existing WIPs, 2 of which are meant for gifts too. This is annoying limbo-state that I always get after a larger project - ideas whirling in my head but nothing actually catching on, hands restless but really nothing that I fancy doing.
Oh well, I made a few quickies during / after the shawl:
Short wristies for an etsy-customer from Gjestal Baby Ull
And
Drops 104-4 felted slippers from Eskimo

The pattern wasn't too good, the slippers were left quite bulky on top of the toes and the seams are thick - will prolly end up snipping them off carefully. I used 200g of yarn, 2 skeins of both colors, and it was a close call, used up all of it.
I prefer the wrist warmers longer but the colour is beautiful! :-)
ReplyDeleteLikewise, but the customer requested them shorter and you know, customer's always right ;)
