Little slippers & Flora Rabbit

 Just finished these little slippers for DGD Ellie. I've re-sized them from the Toasty Slippers in Val Pierce's book 'love... Knitting  25 simple projects to knit'
The soles are knitted with acrylic chunky yarn from my stash and the tops are the softest, fluffiest yarn I've ever worked with. I picked it up a couple of years ago from Oswaldtwistle Mills and it's been sitting in a box ever since, waiting for a project.
And here they are complete with pom-poms!

Also crocheted this little rabbit for her (I had to 'borrow' it for a photo, in the car, on our way to Fleetwood) I followed Kate's pattern on Greedy for Colour.
Ellie loves her little bunny! :)

After dealing with a little bit of business, we spent a pleasant afternoon strolling round the shops at Fleetwood, then bought fish & chips (a rare treat) and ate them down at the sea front. Unfortunately, the weather turned and so we made our way home, but not before I took these photos ...... a sculpture of a happy family ...... and fish in a blue river ...... on the prom.
