Knitting progress and New boots!

Look how far I got by Friday! I think I have a new addiction. I'm keeping the giveaway open a little longer, so if you have any creative answers about what crochet needles may get used for besides crochet, post them here or in my last post :)
In the meantime, I got a bit fluey at the end of last week so MrC chucked me out of the shop for the day. He's sweet like that. Instead of going home, however, I did what I always do when I need to relax- I headed to the Eastern Suburbs of Wellington, where the sea is close and it makes me happy! AND it just so happens that my favourite shoe shop is over there too. It specialises in big size shoes and tickles me that my problem big feet are nearly the smallest size they stock!
Well, I SAVED $600 by NOT buying two other pairs I loved. And I bought one pair of adorable boots:

Aren't they the cutest things!!!!??!!! And so comfortable too! The heel is just low enough to be comfortable for me but just enough to be a bit elegant. And the leopard skin tippets were irresistible.
They certainly did wonders for my fluiness! :)

    1. Hehe, I think I give away my age when I get so excited about a pair of shoes with a 1.5 inch heel! But they are so comfortable, especially to knit in ;-)

  4. Lovely boots. I've got my eye on some rather pricey but gorgeous red shoes from irregular choice. My excuse is they'd be perfect for lindy hop...

    1. Red shoes rock!! Of course I originally wanted the red version, but they only had it in bigger sizes, and I already have two pairs of red boots, two purple and only one black, so black won.

  5. The boots are scrumbo! They look fantastic and comfortable. One could totally survive a day on ones feet in the shop kinda comfy, while looking awesome. I have no idea what other folk would use crochet hooks for (in a non textile manner) but I know I have used them for fixing a hole in the wire mesh on my reptile cage. Probably not a very common useage lol! MadameO
