snug as a bug in an......ugg :: part 2


snug boot pattern from pick up sticks. well written and fairly simple, i love these. lined with 100% alpaca they are super cozy. only downside is the foot is a bit wide. i thought about felting them more, but then they would be too short. i think they are supposed to be this way by design so i am content.

started: i don't know really, sometime this year
finished: 3/14/07
yarn: 3 skeins lamb's pride worsted in oatmeal and 4 skeins baby alpaca grande in 1310 (plymouth)
needles: for the lamb's pride, size 10, for the alpaca size 9 to get gauge

oh yeah, second downfall, the wet wool smells like a perm and it lasts quite awhile because they take forever to dry.

but still cute, no?

completely random markers over on the shop blog.

They turned out great! It does seems like that shade of green is en vogue at the moment.

So cute! I love the colors you chose. And how decadent it must be to have the 100% alpaca lining. I always love me some alpaca.

I love them! I wish I could order the pattern and some yarn right now. But alas, I am participating in the knitting from your stash movement until the end of September.
