the second annual Christmas on the Farm is fast approaching...... actually, it's this weekend. amythefibergoddess and i have been dyeing yarn and roving, she's been stitching, beading, creating.... all amazing things that will be for sale. this is an excellent time to shop for that knitter or spinner or grab bag gift or yourself :)
the hot new accessory? boot toppers! they are everywhere, on legs of all ages and amy has the yarn. we custom dyed lots of amazingly soft, squishy, yarn for anyone who wants a quick handmade gift.
so here's how the phone conversations went after our dye day on tuesday......
amy: i've got an idea
me:awesome, i'm in!
amy: don't you want to hear it?
me: it doesn't matter.... i'm in!
with all that yummy yarn, she wanted to put together gift packs with a pattern and the yarn all set to give or knit. we needed a pattern and a test knitter. any of you that know us can see what happened next.......
how hard could it be? i've made leg warmers, so this is the almost the same thing.... right? i started swatching, playing with ideas and sizes and voila......
boot toppers! wear them up or.....
cuffed over your boot. it's taking me about a day to knit one, so you could easily finish a set (or two) before the holiday. the pattern is super simple and will be included with the yarn. amy will have these all packaged for gifting........
a skein of
stone edge fibers hand dyed yarn with the christmas on the farm boot topper pattern.....
