I was going through some boxes in the basement and noticed a few partial balls of acrylic yarn, left over from other projects. Inspiration struck me and I thought how I couldn't find my slippers ( I blame this on the dog) and wanted something quick. <br />

</tbody></table>After I finished them I realized that I would probably just wear them to bed as they are quite slick on the floors. I may add a coating or liner of some sort but for now they are cozy and are keeping my feet warm as the weather gets cooler. There is no pattern as yet. I went through some sock knitting books and decided that I would do toe-up as I had a very limited amount of yarn available. In fact I had about 1 meter of the variegated yarn left when I finished the socks. These were knit with two strands, one plain and one variegated on 6mm dpns.

</a></div>On my last visit to my Aunt and Uncle in B.C. we were in a local yarn store and my Aunt who is a former crocheter was admiring the yarn and lamenting on how she wished she had a lovely sweater in the apple green skein she was holding. I filed that little bit of information away and (gulp) three years later she has a new vest. I guessed on the size since I live a mountain range away and I didn't want to tell my Uncle since he might tell her and although I'm a fairly fast knitter I am also a distracted one and can't seem to keep to one project long enough to finish it off.<br />
