These were also made with the Amy march's slippers pattern by Tiny owl knits, but this time I made it with a thinner and more even yarn: Katia Nepal. It was once gifted to me by my mom.
Note to self: poke around in her stash basket in the attic; who might know what treasures lie within...
But... I couldn't help myself... I had to tinker around with the pattern..
My feet are always cold, so in my mind there was no need to make mary jane like slippers, only covering the toes. So I made the stockinette (plain and even knitted looking) bit longer as well as the ribbing bit (which is now mostly covered in bows).
The most fun part was making the ribbon bows! First I hit each and every bargain store in town and found some neat ribbons, as well as yarn and a jar of pickled jalepeno peppers.
But the best find were these shiny buckle like thingies, 20pcs: one euro! Megafind megahappy! See:
Oh, and I replaced the ribbon in the slippers themselves with elastic, much more practical. I know, I'm normally not that practical, so I was astounded with myself. And the sun was shining so all in all a VERY good day :)
Now for spot the difference:
(No, I don't know the how many, you tell me...)
PSSSST: Mariska and I have dreams about opening our own shop on the Haarlemmerdijk in Amsterdam. We will serve cake, tea, knitwear and other colourfull stuff.. It is a good dream, it inspires me. Will you come and visit us in our dream-shop?
