Cozy knitted slippers for gifts

hand-knitted-family-slippers

I love cozy knits, what is your favourite cozy knit? I have a few favourites, but todays post of cozy knitted slippers is one of my favourites. I love having warm toasty feet especially at this time of year when the weather is getting cooler. These are easy knit slippers for beginners and a nice quick and easy knit for more experienced knitters, I knitted a bunch of them. Why? Well they make great gifts and I think add a bit of coziness and who doesn't like cozy knits especially for winter.

Cupcakes good enough to eat



I love to bake but it never lasts long in my home, here is a few cupcakes that look good enough to eat.  I knitted cupcakes for a knitting display I had at my local library.  Since then the knitted cupcakes have become a knitted table piece, my friends and family love the knitted cupcakes. I've lost count of how times I have laughed at friends and family who thought they were real until they picked them up to eat.

Picture of Make a difference for knit in public day 2018


I know most knitters love to knit for a good cause and help others when they can.  I wrote the post about the KIP (Knit In Public) day event I'm holding next month. Yay, I can't wait! Then I felt sad as most for you aren't in Auckland, New Zealand.  I wanted you to know how you could join one nearby or host your own since I don't want you to miss out on my favourite event.

Event: Knit In Public Day 2018
