I knit this shell for my mom, sorry only a pic of the yarn used. It was a quick project, but the shaping was really a pain and took forever because it is to be worn under a jacket and not just by itself. I have the pattern unedited if you want it, but it hasn’t been posted yet. I made the pattern in the round, so besides weaving in ends and the three needle bind off at the shoulders, there is no seeming.
This pattern , also available for purchase at the LYS, has been a big hit. Designed for the new Noro yarn that was coming out at the time, I made sure that it only used one skein of the yarn because it was a little expensive. But you could use any worsted weight that you wanted to knit up this little bag perfect to use for a dressy evening. Instructions also show how to make and attach the “frog” closure or Celtic knot in the front.
Just thought this was really pretty and deserved to be in here. My friend crochet two of these for me from worsted weight Sugar and Cream. I keep one at my desk, and I keep one in my knit bag. They work so well, I simply love them! She wrote down the pattern and gave it to me so I guess I better get to work making some for stocking stuffers this year.
Very nice yarn for sale recycled from an Abercrombie sweater. Great to use in any project.

These are a quick and easy project done from double stranded 100% cotton boucle` yarn in the round for the toe part. They wash and wear easily, and are more comfy than the crochet socks, but not nearly as nice as the knit slippers or socks. I did this pair and one pair out of mercerized cotton in a toddler’s size. I like the tie on the top because it keeps them snugly on the feet. I did not write a pattern for this, it was kind of a crochet as you go pattern.
