The great slipper exchange . . .

This is a first in the ongoing story of all the great stuff I'm getting for knitting elf slippers for trade. The etsy shop is actually doing pretty well, with fair viewing traffic and 2 actual sales thus far, but the deals in trading are even better. My first trade was with my friend J , who sells hand-knitted and sewn items for kids in two shops, here and there . She made my kids skully hats in exchange for slippers for her and one of her little elves. My kids won't take off the hats, I only hope they are getting as much wear from their slippers! Here are my kids, trying hard to look cool and tough:

Next up: my very own little weasels , some adorable felted food for my allergic wonder-girl, and in the near future some kind of awesome bag for yours truly. Updates to come.
