I picked up some Lopi wool this weekend and I'm going to try my hand at making some felted slippers with it. This should be fun! I'm crazy about these fall colors still :) But before I start the slippers though I just might whip up a pair of leg warmers for my daughter to cover her leggings with when she wears dresses to town. She complains sometimes about being chilly and I ran across a super easy pattern for leg warmers over at Ginny's blog that just might be the answer to cold legs! Now I just have to decide whether to stick with the ribbed look or try and incorporate the moss stitch into them so the match her gloves *grin*.
On the book front this week I actually don't have one to share unless you want to hear about our school books? I could tell you all about cohesion and adhesion or how to properly read the amount of liquid in a beaker using the meniscus *grin*.
Hugs,

Your fingerless gloves turned out beautifully! I made these for my daughter for her Nov. birthday =) BTW, what yarn did you use? I really like it!
Oh, and I'd really like to give felted slippers a try, too!
I LOVE my felted slippers. I thought they were super easy to make (and I'm a beginner). That moss pattern is so pretty...I think it is kind of girly, and I like anything girly & feminine =)
I love how the gloves turned out, I'd like to make some of these one day, very nice!
Rosina, these turned out so beautifully, I love that rosy pink color, so luscious and pretty!
Your gloves are really pretty and I love the moss stitch too!
They are so pretty. And such an unusual pattern!
She looks fabulous in them!
love the fingerless gloves and the color of that yarn. :)
I love these!!
really lovely gloves. i want to make some for my little sister, but am not sure i have the yarn. will keep it in my queue. the legging idea sounds great too. what a lucky girl!
Such pretty gloves. I have been tempted to buy some Lopi because it is so pretty but Haven't yet. I can't wait to see how the slippers turn out.
Thanks for stopping by my humble blog!
(I write mainly for the family back in the States.)
I love the gloves! Latvian women had a tradition of knitting over 100 pairs of gloves before their wedding day. These were then given to all who helped out.
SO glad I never had to do that!!!
The leg warmers are also on my future 'to-do' list.
Your fingerless gloves turned out great! I'm going to have to look at the instructions and see if I could make a pair for my girls. They wood love them as well. Your yarn looks beautiful, gorgeous colors!
Those are so pretty! My daughter would go crazy over something like that! Why in the world not...they're pink. I found your blog through the yarn along, and I must say, I'm "meeting" so many neat people!
I'm still loving the autumnal colors too!
Those are gorgeous! Lovely job!
Just beautiful, Rosina. I love the moss stitch.
Thank you everyone for all of your lovely comments on my fingerless gloves I made my daughter :) I know I haven't made it to visit all of you yet but I'm coming! *grin*.
Sarah ~ You has asked what wool I used and it is Jil Eaton Minnow Merino (77 yards 50 grams) and the color is #4789. It's a beautifully soft wool to work with :)
It’s surprising you aren’t more popular given that you definitely possess the gift.
Finally a simple to understand information, appreciated!
It’s nearly impossible to find well-informed people in this particular topic.
Your posts are neatly organized with the information I want.
