Hospital Knitting

Fortunately with a sudden extended stay in hospital I did go prepared with a bit of knitting.  Also fortunately for me, Stuart came over on Friday for the afternoon to hang out with BJ so I could get out for a bit.  A walk to town meant I could hit the wool shop there & get the orange yarn requested by BJ for his slippers.  I almost got them both finished while there too. He's pretty rapt with his new mukluks.  

I had actually started a pair for DJ just before we had left.  I did do one of these in hospital but I didn't have the other ball of yarn with me so couldn't finish his pair until today!  I did well using stash wool for these.  I made one at home first to try the pattern & to see how it was constructed but it was too small for him so started the next size.  I now have one lonely little slipper that I really need to make a match for...  soon...   DJ is rapt with his though.  

Edited to add this on Wednesday...

Last night when I finished DJ's slippers I put them inside his bedroom door so he could find them when he got up.  Tonight when I went to put him to bed I found them in that spot again but with tufts of dog fur in them!!!  I asked him why they had fur in them...  "so they keep me warmer" he says!  Stuart & I nearly doubled over laughing...  Yes, it makes sense...  Was funny to see he had put them away this morning in that same spot after he got dressed for school, but with the addition of the fur inside!  bwahahahaha...
