Ahoy! Today be International Pirate Day and we are supposed to be talkin' like pirates.
Me be pirate and me pirate name is Captain Ethel Kidd
*Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr! *
Well--I am in charge me pirates--at least according to that description. Arr, walk the plank and catch me a fish for dinner, lol.
In me knittin' news, this lubber has been amakin' ballerina slippers on the looms. Trying different yarns and a different close for the toes. The latest ones feel a lot better on the toes, but the latest yarn, Patons Merino, has a lot more shrinkage than the lovely Brown Sheep. So the pattern for sure must say the type of yarn recommended.
If anyone of ye pirates are intested in testing my pattern, drop me a note, I need some little help. The following items are needed:
- Baby Hat Loom in Regular Gauge (32 pegs spaced at .5")
- About 500 yards of Lamb's Pride Bulky
- About 5 hours of your time
Here be some pictures o' t' slippers
Avast! The bilge rats have me camera! Must go in search around the house...
Ahoy! Me found it..here we go. Can you see--no bulk on the toes--success achieved!
I would love to know how you made these. They are so adorable!

I have all of the requiremnts that you listed, so if you still need some help, count me in.
I'm a couple of days behind, so it's no longer "Pirates
Day" so no one can make me walk the plank. neener,neeener,neeener

Pink? Pink? You made them in Pink? How terribly adorable. Pink wool sounds so yummy. Course if that one had turned out as big as your first one, we'd be seeing Giant Pink Elephants and that for some reason, reminds me of Dumbo.
