The Postman Brought Goodies!

I just LOVE it when boxes come in the mail....

I sent for some yummy plain black merino. It was an Elann feature, and I have been wanting and needing a simple black ribbed sweater to go with my winter skirts and my new black dress booties. I will apologize in advance because the photos posted here won't be good. It is difficult to show stitch detail of black knitting. But I really need this one.

I also got some felting wool and a great slipper pattern and hope to make a pair soon, because my feet are cold around the house. I have never made the tall style of slipper and think they should suit me just fine....
