Inkle weaving underway

 What's on the inkle loom today.......

Santa's workshop

Work is going on in Santa's workshop on many small projects, most of which I can't show on the blog.  But, here is a fun slipper sock.  It's a free pattern from Lion Brand Yarns - Scrunchy, Slouchy Slipper Socks. It uses Lion Brand yarn, acrylic, which is great for those that just want to throw everything in the washer and dryer. It's knit with Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn.  I found it in my region at both JoAnn's and Michaels Crafts. It's super soft.  Downside for me is that I'm knitting with size 13 needles which hurt my hands so I'll knit for a little bit and then move on to a different project to give my hands a rest. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th - ours luckily did not include any major fires from fireworks (yet) just many small ones that were addressed quickly. We are in a heat wave - was 103 at the house yesterday, today hotter, tomorrow even hotter, around 113.  I used to say it's not as bad as the east coast because we don't have humidity here but when it's over 100 it's bad no matter what......and it looks to be over 100 every day for at least the next week.
