Day 31-365: Details
The one thing that I love about Chicago is the details in the old buildings. Faces, creatures and flowers are every where. You just need to open up to them.

It was the other day that I took photos of Mac's felted slippers and then remembered that I hadn't blogged about them. They were a quick project that HAD to be done before Christmas. You see, I has having a casual conversation with Mac and she was growing more and more excited about Christmas day. She then blurted out: I can't wait to see what you've knit me.
Oh crap. Totally dug in my stash grabbed some wool and in a weekend had felted slippers. They took nearly the week before Christmas to dry, but they were under the tree for the morning.
She loves skating in the kitchen with them. I do the same in mine;)
Quick, fun and easy. If your looking to not skate across the room, highly recommend putting puffy paint on the bottom for grip.

FO: Laminaria
Pattern: Laminaria by Elizabeth Freeman
Yarn: 1 skein Stitch Sisterz Lace weight cashmere, 100g ball in the Lime colorway
Needles: US 5 circular needle
Started: November 26, 2010
Finished: January 1, 2011
I loved making this and have even contemplated making another. The yarn is fabulous to work with and even making the largest size shawl I could have added repeats to make this even larger.
The only reason why I didn't was because I was concerned about the need to have at least 1/3 of the yarn in reserve to finish the edge charts and bind off using two strands.
This will most likely be the only shot with me wearing it, as the temps in Chicago are ridiculously cold. Wind chill this morning was around 10 degrees.
You know, if I hadn't ripped back a full chart repeat I would have been done with this before Christmas. A lace shawl in a months time. Yeah, that is crazy, but a good crazy.
