Big Winter Storm and Warm Fuzzies




Don't these little booties look cozy to knit on a day like today! This is Mid-Michigan today in the middle of a snow storm that is now turning into an ice storm! Schools let out at 10:30 am and probably will be closed tomorrow. Breaks my 16 year old's heart!
Just bought this yarn and pattern from Apple Tree Lane in Clare yesterday. Good timing, I think. I'm hooked on socks right now, but these are close enough and will knit up fast on size 10 needles and I GET TO TRY FELTING. I am uploading and saving my knitting patterns to my ipod, thanks to the instructions on Pixie Purls blog. Fun!

Don't you just LOVE your iPod! I think it the PERFECT sock knitting companion! :o)

Oh my goodness! Brrrr! We're expecting STRONG storms tonight - but, of the tornado variety. Stay warm!

i really like that Plymouth bootie pattern and the yarn. very cute. i've been doing loads of baby things, but nothing felted yet (ever). might have to hunt down a copy of that for myself. :)

The booties are adorable. I love the whole felting process.
Could you tell me what the name of the book that the pattern is in ? I am very interested in getting myself a copy.
