Told you. Are these not the sweetest little slippers you've ever seen? Hopefully they turn out to be "somewhere between a 6 and a 7" which is what size Ellie's mom says she wears. I googled shoe size measurements and made them as long as the results said. I got the handmade fleece flowers from hksupermom during a Sneak Attack (See? Undiscovered Etsy shops can have the most amazing things!); the genius-y slipper pattern was designed by Little Red Mitten - and she provides instructions for making them in all sizes from baby to grown-up! Regarding the yarn, you know I can be kind of a yarn snob, right? But slippers for a kid must be soft and machine-washable. This is what I used; was super-soft and pleasant on a knitter's hands! Since the pattern calls for two strands held together, I grabbed the center-pull and the outside of the skein - which means my yarn-ball holder came in quite handy. There - now you can go make slippers for your adorable cousins!

Guess what? Tonight my first Interstate Interview posted on the INCrowdteam blog! I'm pretty excited, and I think it came out really well because I picked someone I "know" from lj to interview. I got my childhood best friend's mom one of their birdhouse ornaments for Christmas, and she's still talking about it! Wait a minute, let me add a picture of one of their birdhouses, and you'll see why. Cute, huh? Yeah, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Hang on, now; before you go running off to shop at Times And Chimes, go read the interview!
(I just borrowed a line from 30 Rock.) Ha! Now that I have a decent number of entries here in Blogspotsylvania (ha times two!), I've officially started notifying people of this new blog. Poor things... I'm afraid the non-knitters among them will be bored to tears. I'm sorry, Darlings. You know all I ever want to talk about is knitting, anyway. Question of the day: what kind of crazy person decides to whip up a scarf for an out-of-state cousin who's graduating next Friday?! Oh, right - me.
