Can anyone point me to some good two-color fair isle patterns that might be good for that Alpaca hat from my grandpa?? Norwegian or at least Scandanavian ones would be exceptionally good. Right now I have no stitch dictionaries with much in the way of colorwork because I never thought I’d do it, LOL! So, free links or book recommendations are highly welcome!
Thanks!
There they are. The FiberTrend’s felted clog slippers for my sister’s size 11 feet pre-felting. As the woman’s large said to size 10 I went for the smallest of the men’s size. The majority of the foot on those was stuffed with a t-shirt and not a normal size t-shirt. A plus sized t-shirt in each foot! :-)
Here are a few more shots to give an idea of how large these are…
Just click on them to see larger versions of them.
I was planning on felting these when DH is around seeing as his feet are closer in size to her feet than mine are. However, I’m thinking I’ll probably be impatient enough to felt them this afternoon. Plus, DH just isn’t around much these days with all the NANO activities.
I did do some spinning this weekend. I’ve found it is good for when I’m more than a little fed up with goings on around the house. But, I’ll post more about when I have the other 2 oz done and everything plied.
