I am not going to forsake quilting for knitting! I do have a couple of small hand quilting projects with me - that is if I find any spare time! (Yes, I'm teaching a course here in Missoula - for Korean primary school English teachers. That's the University of Montana in the photo above.) Below is a photo of the first slipper. I'm a little nervous it might be a wee bit small because I am knitting so tightly. I'm sure I'll find someone it will fit! If you read Swedish, the pattern is available
here for free (Gäst tofflor, grattis beskrivning 5-29). If not, I believe
Swedish Yarn in North Carolina sells an English translation (Raggi - the name of the Järbo yarn - pattern 5-29). It's super easy and quick and is a great getting-started pattern, I think. I'm using Laines Du Nord Korall Fancy yarn #558. (
Here it is on sale - I haven't used this website, though.) I'm going to need a little more than the two skeins (100g) that the pattern suggests.

Enjoy Montana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe slipper is looking great!
ReplyDeleteWell, you sure are a great traveler! Love the slipper.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are going to keep on quilting.
ReplyDeletePhew - that's a relief then! Thought we had lost you for a moment.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to visit Montana one day.
The slippers look cozy! I am missing you down south here in Wyoming...
ReplyDeleteI stumbled on your blog from some others. I love quilting and had to comment on your blog about yours. I have yet to post my quilts on my blog, but I should. It is me. I am inspired by you and just wanted you to know.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo of the campus . . . easy to see why it's called 'Big Sky country' *s*
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colors! Enjoy your project!
ReplyDeleteHEY! I just taught myself how to knit too using that Knitting Help website. So far I've made washcloths for everyone I know, most of a scarf and I'm making a lovely little cabled baby blanket for my friends baby. I'll try to remember to post some pictures on my blog.
