In my knitting bag this week is my January knit-a-long from my lys, The Fiber Universe.
From this:
To this:
I made this:
It was not very easy as the pattern's instructions are very cryptic. I had to rip out many, many times. I think the second one will go much better.
The pattern is Bunny Hop Thrummed Bunny Slippers. I am not making the bunny part. I am using Cascade Yarns Pacific Chunky. It is a nice yarn. I am using merino roving. See my project page here.
There is a recipient in mind for these and, again, it is a secret, so I won't divulge it here.
The awesome feature of this slipper is the thrums. Thrums are these little "v" stitches in pink.
They are made from roving (un-spun yarn). I just pull off some roving (about the size of the yarn I am using) and knit it into the pattern.
The thrums make the inside very cozy and fuzzy.
Usually, you find thrums in mittens, but slippers work too. I can't really see them being useful in other knitted objects, but I may be wrong.
Now I have to make another to have a matching pair.
Speaking of matching pairs. I started on my second sock, so my husband can actually have a pair. I hope this one takes me less than 4 months to complete, unlike the first one.
Do you find it hard to make the second object to a pair? Have you ever used thrums?
