Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Dsc00909 Imelda Marcos I’m not. I am known for my lack of fashion when it comes to shoes; having to wear orthotics there are very few shoes that work with them. I’m known for owning no more than three pairs at any given time; a pair of running shoes that are worn out well loved like an old teddy bear, my pair of custom orthotic sandals, and for dressy occasions – Aerosoles with metatarsal inserts. I have very boring feet – until today. Give me a half price sale and shoes that accommodate my orthotics and voila! Blue suede shoes, and red ones, and brown ones…

Dsc00910 And I’ve just finished six suede booties. At Chicks with Sticks the other night as I was knitting the fourth, someone asked me if I was knitting them for a dog! It was a fun evening in the company of two other bloggers, Maureen and Nadia.

    Very cute shoes! This from someone who buys a pair about every 2-3 years! And the booties are so cute. I may have to go back and get some suede myself. Can you remind of the pattern source for those – it was an online free pattern, wasn’t it?

    Wow, there’s nothing like being mentioned on a well read blog to bring up the daily hits on your own blog. Thurs night was great fun, it’s alway nice to see everyone and it was nice to meet Nadia. I meant to wish you a bon voyage before I left that night. Have a wonderful trip and remember your own advice about balance. Make sure that for every museum you visit, you visit just as many yarn shops.

    I empathize with the orthotics problem. What brand of shoe are they?
