So I spent a good amount of time today in Village Wools, chilling with Jamie and all the crew there, and it was a lot of fun! I really do enjoy spending my Saturday afternoons in the yarn shop :) I was trying to decide what to knit next since I’m almost done with my laptop bag, and I was wanting to do some felted moccasins from my Felted Knits book, but Jamie was really encouraging me to do socks, so I took her advice, sort of. She helped me decide to do this pattern for felted sock/slippers from knitty, called Fuzzy Feet.
Really all the pattern is are two really big socks that are knit with big needles, and then felted to size. So it’s a good way to learn sock techniques, without having to start with sock yarn and size 0 needles, which was a bit daunting. Also, Noelle was there too, and she helped me pick out some sweet tweed yarn, since she’s made a bunch of Fuzzy Feet before. So I’m very excited to get started on these tonight, and see how far I can get. Jamie thinks I’m going to be done by the end of the evening, but I’m not so sure, since I think my family is getting ready to leave to take an expedition to Trader Joes for the evening, and buy some cheap organic food.
At any rate, I’m looking forward to the Fuzzy Feet, and my little brother really wants me to knit him a pair too, so I will get lots of practice :) I also finished the new handle and shoulder strap for my laptop bag, and am planning to sew on the shoulder strap tonight. I’m still not sure about the pocket, because I dont’ know if I want my bulky power adapter right up against the small of my back when I’m carrying the bag, so I need to make a decision on that too.
Well I’m off to cast-on for the Fuzzy Feet, so peace out!
