I finished two pairs of slippers for my MIL this week. She loves felted slippers and is knitworthy. Even if she wasn’t, I would make her anything she asked for, as she provides free babysitting at least once a week. Also she drinks wine with me. And she is making a quilt for my sister because I asked her to make one. So, when she asked me to make her slippers and then bought me yarn from Jan’s Yarn Barn I knew I needed to get them made.
I used the Duffers Revisited pattern and Ella Rae worsted wool held double. I really don’t like knitting felted slippers, so I knit them very quickly so the projects weren’t looming over me.
In non-knitting news, I’m now fully vaccinated and ready to roll. The kids and I have been enjoying trips to the zoo and playdates with a homeschool group. We’re flying high on spring, walking without a boot, and the feeling of freedom.

Your MIL sounds like a real gem. It is so nice to see you out and about. The wings are appropriate!

Too bad one can’t hit the “like” button three times – like that you care enough for your MIL to knit for her, even something you don’t enjoy; like that you’ve been able to be fully vaccinated and are taking advantage of that status; like the wings. What a cheerful and uplifting post!
