These Furry Welly Toppers will come handy in wintery times, and although I don’t own a pair of wellies myself, they will be used on my other boots. More info about the knitting kit is on the Ravelry project page linked above. The yarn is pure British wool, a tribute to Wovember.

To sew them up I will use the kitchener stitch, so I can practice it.

I am planning more small projects: it’s fun to see a result within days, gives variety of knitting and prevents WIPs going into hibernating state  🙂

Recently I have practiced a healthy stash enhancement exercise, which lead to a wide variety of vintage yarn (mostly pure wool) to play with in my projects – a few gratuitous images, just because… The next, though, will have to be some stash tiding up!
