Slippers Finished

Today's Scripture Reading: Breisheet/Genesis 30-31

I finished the slippers I was making for my dad. I hope they fit and stay on his feet. I had already made 3 pairs of these for my husband, so I went one hook size up for my dad's pair since he's a bigger size, but they sure seemed to come out A LOT bigger!

Here's where I got the pattern:

I've got the laundry caught up, so now I'm just down to packing for my trip. One of my daughters is going with me, so we're looking forward to traveling together again. She went with me last time, so I really should have taken a different child. I wanted my older daughter to go with me, but she was starting a new job and couldn't get the time off. The next in line would be one of my boys, but since it's the Quilt Festival, I figured that was more of a girl thing, so it made more sense to take my younger daughter with me again since my older daughter couldn't go.

One or both boys will get to go with me next time. They are being compensated by me hopefully finishing what they call their 'headwarmers' (the Jackyll & Hide balaclava).

I still need to double-check on whether or not I can take my knitting on the plane with me. It's always like this getting ready for a trip--no matter how much pre-planning you do, it seems like there are always a million more things that still need to be done at the last minute.
