I knit these slippers a long time ago and lost the free pattern I got from Lewiscraft here in Toronto. I tried looking far and wide for the pattern online and this kind reader posed the entire pattern in the comments section of my initial post. In order to read this clearly however, I’ve re posted it in its entirety below.

My VCR recently died and joined my old behemoth of a desktop computer, monitor, and crap dehumidifier that resides permanently in my bedroom closet. All are just dust collectors waiting for an ethically sound method of disposal.

I live in a small place and I have to keep clutter to a minimum, but I’ve been hanging on to a lot of junk simply because I haven’t known how to environmentally dispose of it. This is how you recycle your computer equipment and keep your peace of mind.

I have finished my warm red sweater! This worked up fast on large needles and I found the pattern fairly easy to follow. The only reason why this wasn’t finished earlier is because I kept putting it down or started other projects. The pattern can be found in this book: Urban Streets and you can see my original post titled: New Knitting Books.

Sometimes you want to mix it up from knitting and crochet projects. Ok -so silly and fun obviously does have its market or we wouldn’t be awash with sock monkeys and stuffed monsters from a place called The Monster Factory. I am no more immune to their appeal than anyone else and I am likely particularly susceptible since I spent hours as a child placing various granny squares atop my cats head for hours of amusement. Have you ever just seen something in a shop or bookstore that just makes you giggle? This book did just that!
