FO's

there are several finished objects to report!
first and foremost, dave and i graduated last friday.
technically dave has to write and defend his thesis this summer, but i think he can do it.

and i told you i'd post photos.
here's the token funny hat and dress photo.
me, dave's dad, and dave.
dave got a cooler hat than i did, i guess thats what happens with a phd :)

i've also got a couple FO's to report! here are my cousin's watermelon slippers :)

i posted a finished unfelted photo the othe rday, but here they are, all felted and ready to wear. my cousin said she was going to wear them home on the plane!
pattern: fiber trends felted clogs,
yarn: cascade 220 with a touch of leftover loft for the seeds.
changes: body and inner sole red, outer sole green, stitched on seeds before felting

knitting updates
