twins!

♥ Comments (9) ♥

ok i am really proud of these, possibly because they took me FOREVER AND A DAY to accomplish. I tried a million and one things to get them right and nothing was working. Sadly i couldn’t figure out how to knit flowers (thanks for nothing nicky epstein) that didn’t look wonky...i finally learned some embroidery from erin. she is so patient sometimes. if she can teach me something (i forget everything two min after you tell me) she can teach anyone.

anyways way back in feb i found rebecca’s site i also found the MUSTACHIO! in her shop. She said on her blog how much she liked the mary janes but didn’t knit, so i struck up a deal with her. She then sent me a challenge. She apparently liked these Camper shoes called “twins”..shoes that go together but don’t look exactly the same. Kind of a cool idea. Anyways here’s the inspiration:




and here’s what i came up with...she liked pink and brown cause they are her colors...and Aunt Ida provided the vintage shell shank buttons...and erin patienly taught me lazy daisy and chain embroidery. Voila…




also you can click on rebecca’s blog to see them on her feet. i found my pictures i took of them today! yay!
i am very proud of these. mostly because they turned out to be very creative and fun...like nothing i had ever knit for anyone before. i am just glad she gave me the challenge.

Nat has new buttons up in the moustache factory, check them out especially if you like robots, monsters, and more tastey snacks like pie, coffee, and tea.

also can anyone vouch for me if they might be giants is singing on the dunkin donuts commercial...about packing for the stay at an uncle’s beach house? i SWEAR it’s them...but a not sure.

also i am an avid watcher of top chef. and wednesday’s reunion show was a train wreck not to be missed. They basically let them drink so much wine they were all drunk and fighting the whole show. i support public intoxication and fighting for a good laugh. And yes i do find stephen very attractive, but more attractive when he’s being a total asshole.

ok i have 14 dishcloths and one last one to knit up. perhaps i’ll show a picture tomorrow.
