2 weeks worth K-n-S's
Here are all the items I knitted while visiting family in MI for over 2 weeks. Almost all of them are for the swap over at SM:
Super Easy Garter Stitch Hat -
Brainless Dishclothes (the top 2 are microfiber yarn -- my new favorite for dishies since I ABHOR cotton yarn) -
Old-Fashioned Slippers -
These are Abby's slippers -
Very first ITR rolled brim hat (too big for a newborn but too small for Abby so it will be gifted) -
I also made 2 pairs adult slippers (one for DH and one for DM) and a couple more dishclothes that are being used.
TFL!

It is from Bev's Country Cottage and they are called Auntie Maggie's Slippers. I can't wait to try them with some Peace Fleece. The merino wool that I used for DH's slippers is pilling badly on the soles. I hope the PF will be "ruggeder".

The kind I used is by Lion Brand and is called Micro Spun, I think. I got it on the clearance rack because it was lable-less.
The other kind I used that is not pictured is Bernat Denimstyle. It is 70 acrylic and 30 cotton.
I would like to try Cotton Ease by Lion Brand but can't find it locally yet.
