Like many other knitters, I fell in love with Kristin Drysdale's Ingeborg Slippers the moment I first saw them on my Instagram feed. It turns out they are as fun to knit as they are to pad about in. So I put together kits.
For my slippers I used Upton Yarns DK Weight Bluefaced Leicester spun from the wonderful fleece of the flock at Two Sisters Farm. The pattern calls for size 3 needles, but I found that to get the correct gauge I had to go up to size 6s (I tend to be a tight knitter). I used light blue Glacier Bay, dark blue Delft, and for a blaze of contrast, bright orange Tiger Lily to finish the edges.
The kit includes those three colorways, and of course, one of my very happy hand printed project bags.
***Please note, the kits contains yarn only. You can purchase the pattern by Kristin Drysdale on Ravelry.com here. ***
Once again I have fallen in love with a pattern and put together a yarn kit. This time for Kristin Drysdale's wonderfully cute (and warm) Ingeborg Slippers. I fell in love with the pattern the first time they appeared on my Instagram feed, and it turns out they are a relatively quick but very engaging knit.
Kit features Upton Yarns DK weight Bluefaced Leicester from the happy sheep of Two Sisters Farm, Warren, Maine, in three colorways: 50 yards each of light blue Glacier Bay and dark blue Delft (both dyed with natural indigo) and 20 yards of contrasting Tiger Lily (dyed with madder, lac, and weld) for the crochet edge, and arrives packaged in one of my hand printed project bags.
If you are unfamiliar with the foibles of yarn dyed with natural indigo, please check out the About Indigo page here.
Happy knitting!
Any orders placed between now and Friday will go in the mail the day they are ordered (as long as the order is placed before 3:00 - I still need time to pack them up and get to the Post Office - but I will do my best!).
And don't forget the Moth Discouraging Sachets!
Happy knitting, and Happy Holidays!
