NOW AVAILABLE AT THE STORE!

Knit a pair of Daisy Stripe Shoes with this bluePRINTS original design! They are a modern twist on the traditional mary-jane, and can be customised in a myriad of ways with simple chain embroidery! 

These gorgeous shoes are my original design with pretty chain stitch embroidery on the toe region. Girly daisies paired with stripes in a contrasting colour give these shoes a dainty, yet modern style. The addition of handmade clay buttons gives the shoes yet another style dimension!

the happy dishcloth

After my trip to London for the Pulse show, I spent the past 2 days just recovering from all the hustle that is London! My back was aching, my feet were KILLING me, but all and all it was very worth it. I finished a dishcloth I was knitting on the train back home. I have been experimenting with different dyes and I managed a decent green to purple colourway...

I called it the Happy Dishcloth... the colours make me happy and I managed to make it in less than 2 days! It looks a little more like a towel, but that’s because I like to be able to drape the cloth over the oven door handle or fridge and I really can’t work with anything smaller... there never seems to be enough ‘dry’ areas in those square things!

SIZE

Whatever seems comfortable for you, there are no rules here!

MATERIALS

1 pair 4.5mm knitting needles

100g dishcloth cotton

tapestry needle to weave in ends

greemy baby booties

It has been 9 days since I announced my Stash Buster Booties 'mission' and I have just finished knitting up my 4th pair!

 

Why Greemy? A few years ago, my sisters and I decided to 'invent' a new colour, and in my head, it was a mixture of green and brown, which ultimately always gave a mucky result with my coloured pencils! We called that colour Greem.

I haven't found a yarn with a 'Greemy' colour, but I compromised and used a lovely 100% wool yarn (for the top part of the booties), and soft dark cotton yarn (on the sole of the booties) instead!

I reduced the 'seam-sewing' on these booties by transferring my work onto double pointed needles after making the sole, this way I was able to work in the round and avoid sewing the leg seam...
