My Boots are Made for Walkin'

I LOVE my new boots. My husband watched my admiring glances toward colorful rubber boots when we were visiting Cophenhagen this Spring . . . and then he surprised me with a pair of Marimekko boots. We saw paisley, flowered, camo, colorful rubber boots in many store windows--and now I have a pair. Aren't they cool?

On the knitting front, my goal for the summer was to finish projects that were started and, for some reason, put aside. Here is the first finished project. Of course, I have my seamin' partner helping me out. 


Here is a close up of the throw.

I finally finished Drops 87-7. It fits perfectly. As soon as I block it and sew the flower on, I will model it. The color is closer to the color on the archived post. It is knitted with beautiful Bali GGH in chocolate brown with Colinette Zanzibar in peaches and cream edging. I really like the ribbing on the sleeves.

Here is a close up of the edging.

Stay tuned for more finished projects.

I love the boots! I have a cheap pair of tall black Wellie-type boots that I slip on in rain, mud, snow to walk the dog etc. I don't care how unfashionable I look because they do their job. But yours are much more fun.
The Drops sweater is so pretty; looking forward to the modeling.

Yay for finishing up abandoned projects! I love the edging on the drops sweater.
