pink things

Posted on August 16, 2004 by mariko

I’m still getting back into the swing of things after playing Ishi in the mountains, so today I’m just going to show you a couple of pink things. I made a little pink poncho earlier this year for my friend Wendy’s baby, but I apparently don’t know how big babies are, because the poncho fit Wendy’s 8-year-old much better. It was dubbed the “family poncho,” and yes, I’m still waiting for photos of each family member wearing it. Anyway, here is Lillie the 8-year-old modeling the poncho (and see that crocheted flower on it? They went to Action Hero Melissa’s crafty bazaar and bought it! Yup, the knitblogger world is converging!):

And here’s the other pink thing–my new Crocs! They are made of some sort of foam, so they are super light. I guess chefs wear them because they are very comfy and supportive or something. I ordered mine from Summit Hut, which took a while because they were backordered on the pink, and then the size was wrong (they run really big):

    Love the shoes! When you say “really big” – did you need to order a size or two smaller than your usual size?

    I love my red Crocs! Strange, though, as I had to buy the women’s size 10-11 and I wear a 9. What’s up with that, I wonder?

    Now those are the shoes you needed on that camping trip. Comfy, cute and no tape.

    OK, now I’m confused about those sizes, but I have been thinking about these shoes, too! Oh, and welcome home. What’s your next knit?

    Crikey. (Croc-ey?) I know what you mean about baby sizes… I made a sweater for the 12-18 month size, and it looked a little big to me. Then I used the same pattern in a size SMALLER, and despite my gauge being right on, the thing looks HUGE so far, bigger than the last one! *sigh* Well, at least when making stuff for kids, you know they’ll fit into it SOMEtime.
    Happy Birthday, can’t wait to see what the new power tool is! 🙂

    You can’t be caught dead in Boulder without your Crocs.
