knitting slippers with hand-spun

4/18/2011

The ladies are on week two of knitting (that's only two weeks of knitting ever!) and they are already taking on slippers with a shaped heel. This is amazing! One of the ladies requested it last week and before I knew it everyone was agreeing - slippers it is! I was happy to comply.

It was a busy day to say the least, so I wasn't able to take pictures until after the students left. Here are everyone's slippers in progress. They are using the hand-spun that they made a few weeks back. This is their first spinning and they learned how to dye the fleece in their spinning workshop too.

Their hand-dyed yarn is gorgeous!

I love the colors. It looks like my first handspun :)

So many cozy slippers.

Great blog Janna. I am so excited for you, you never cease to amaze me! Hope you have the most precious experience and I look forward to future posts. Love you

p.s. Be sure to carry bear spray with you...not sure if that would work for Polar bears?! Come to think of it, seals can be nasty creatures too! Stay safe xo

thanks Jules. There are rarely bears around and it has been so cold that I don't really spend much time outside. But thanks for the tip. The ocean is frozen over except for one spot that never freezes about 200 meters out from the town. So we don't need to worry about seals.

I'm really enjoying myself!!
