Lynne's slippers

These are for my red headed, rambunctious, vivacious, lively, lovely
redheaded niece. I am making them frivolous and funny and warm. The
original colors I had picked out were not loud enough, or fun enough.
Then the blue wasn't either, but I had already made all the bottom
pieces...so decided to have fun with them. The pink and black heel
that you see will match the front which will be mostly pink.
Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to the washing instructions
until after the second heel was finished....she will have to hand wash
them, or wash in the delicate cycle, and air dry. Guess I'll have to
make her another pair that are not quite as strange!

Baby Brett's Stuff

This blanket is soft, soft, soft! I think when I get around to making
an afghan for me I'm going to use this Boucle. I just put this
together and it isn't anything grand. Just nice.


The camo sweater and cap don't seem to match as far as age ... I am
not sure he can wear them at the same time! But, loved the little
sweater. I also sent him the rust colored one which will fit him late
in the winter, I hope! Probably winter 2009! I just am not good with
sizes.

Bro's Afghan Finished

I finished the last few rows and then started in on the stripes going
up and down the afghan. That took two days, and then the last day or
weaving in ends and putting the border around it. Way too many ends!
I should do them as I got.


We met for breakfast on my last day there so I could give them their
presents. Took too long as his birthday was in May! At least they
are done, and it is quite beautiful if I do say so myself.
