New Year Block swap

[cathiesue]

So I'm going to be cheating on y'all with knitting while the olympics are on. I'm doing an Olympic /Knit/Crochet Challenge. Start and finish a project during the Olympic Games. I'm sick of scarves and mitts and sweaters take forever so I'm doing apair of slippers. I knitted a gauge swatch last night and was dead on. my real goal to to have them finished in tme to wear during the closing ceremonies.

here's what I'm knitting http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mary-jane-slippers-4

I have an aqua/cream/brown varigated yarn that I picked up on sale for the body. I will probably use a brown for the contrast. Wish me luck!

I love it and the colors are just wonderful, we may have to do another in the fall for the winter.


Only 4 left to receive and post.

@cathiesue love the slippers and do show your finished project


@keepmumsame if I had a chance to stop over in Bali, I'd be MIA too,

the weather man must have been consulted before setting off.



You know Punxsutawney Phil's brother Staten Island Chuck got dropped on his head by the NYC Mayor, well he is saying "6 more weeks of winter yeah right I'll get you for that"
