I called her Angel's Tears
She is soft and wonderful, and she tells me that winter is coming. Yay! I hate summer in Chicago. I'd rather winter because I can keep myself warm enough but summer in Chicago that does not give me a chance especially when I am outside. In the mean time, I do knitting right, so knitting is much more fun during the winter since I am no big fan of AC. Angel's tears was another identical twin which is sold last year you can check the feedback to make sure what buyer felt about it. I do knit scarf in between little knitting projects like gloves, or hats, and I give a quite a bit time to finish it up. I think it is worth it.

I am not good at keeping it up
Well it's been a while that I did not write a world to my blog. Part of it my laziness to keep it up on this kind of activity other than being busy, trying to find a new apartment to live for. Well seems like I've find the place and part of the moving is done and I am so happy with my new place as well. Just want share some of new work of mine.
This one is my newly design fingerless gloves, I was not hopping that nobody is going to like it but already made couple of sales. And happy about it.

I think one of my favorite color for this winter would be mustard tones with brown.

Knitted Moccasin Slipper patterns
This is something I've found it when I do google search. I would like to share it with you
MATERIALS
Yarn: Use two strands of 4 ply worsted weight yarn. I'm not sure how much it takes as I bought 170 g skeins and had plenty of yarn leftover. I knit these slippers in two colors. Black for the sole and light blue for the rest of the slipper. You can make them all one color if you want.
Needles: Two 5mm needles. I used circular needles as I find them easier to work with. I used them the same way I would use the two long 5mm needles. But if you prefer using the two long needles, by all means do so.
SIZE: These will fit a foot of 9 1/2 inches. For every 1/2 inch larger add 4 stitches when you cast on. For every 1/2 inch smaller subtract 4 stitches when you cast on. I will have notes in blue on the pattern for where to add or subtract stitches for the different sizes. It will be listed as (S, L) - meaning Small size which is 1/2 inch smaller and L meaning 1/2 inch larger. For even smaller and larger sizes, just add or subtract sts from those sizes. Please note: I have not tried to make these in different sizes. I am only going by my gauge, I think it should work out.
Gauge: 4 sts = 1 inch
Abbreviations used:
st - Stitch
K - Knit
P - Purl
K2tog - Knit 2 stitches together
P2tog - Purl 2 stitches together
inc st - Increase stitch. (I did my increases by picking up a loop between the stitches and putting it on my left needle, then knitting it.)
This pattern is worked in rows. When completed you will sew up the sole and the back of heel seam.
Important: The slippers are folded in half lengthwise when you are finished, so that is why the sole seems big at the start. Just continue working the pattern and when you get to the "Sides and Top", you will notice it taking shape and see where you sew the bottom seam and back of heel seam.
