Crocheted Boots!

As I was waiting at the gate at the airport not too long ago, I noticed a woman that was wearing the most awesome pair of what appeared to be tall crocheted boots. I really should have asked her where she got them, but alas I just admired them from afar.

Anyways, ever since then I've wondered if there would be a way to make a pair for myself, because I Googled "Crocheted Boots" and found a couple of different brands, but they're quite pricey! Here are a couple of pictures to give you an idea of what I'm talking about:

UGG Australia's Classic Crochet Tall Boot (which I love)

and Sienna Miller's Crochet Boots (cute, cute, cute!!!)

If anyone out there has a pattern for this type of boot, and you'd like to share it with us, I'll post it right here for everyone to enjoy (giving you full credit of course)! I would absolutely love to have a pair of these for myself! I just don't know where to buy, or how to make the soles!

Purlescence Yarns

Well now that I'm getting settled into our new place, I'm really getting anxious to get out and explore the area! I looked in the local Yellow Pages and also Googled to find some Local Yarn Shops. Wow! There is so much more to do and see here and lots more knitting and yarn shops too! I found one shop that is really close to where we are living now. It's called Purlescence Yarns and I can't wait to pay them a visit! I'll be sure to take my trusty digital camera in with me so that I can share the visit with you! I joined their mailing list to learn more about them, and they seem to be more than just an average yarn shop. They even get together with their customers to knit and watch movies! Sounds like a really fun group of girls. Hopefully I can get around to checking them out soon!

I have also joined my local library. Couldn't go too long without doing that! So, today I took my daughter with me and checked out the book "A Good Yarn" by Debbie Macomber. I've heard really good reviews about it so I knew I had to read it! It will be the first Fiction knitting book that I've ever read, so I'm looking forward to relaxing with a good story about my favorite hobby/pastime! I'll let you know what I think of it once I've finished reading it!

I'm back!

We are finally moved and TRYING to get settled in our new place. What a mess it is!!! We're surrounded by boxes and I can't find anything!!! We had movers pack and move our stuff, so I don't know where anything is now... We've basically been camping out in our family room and slowly sorting through boxes! Just got our phoneline connected but we're having problems getting the DSL installed, so I'm using dial-up for the first time again in years! Ohmygosh! I never realized how SLOW it was! Anyways, hope to have highspeed again soon, or I may not be online as often! LOLHope you had a great Christmas and New Years!
